    ESPN's who's # 1 ? greatest fights .

    last night i saw espn's show who's # 1 ? the topic was the top 20 greatest fights of all time here was their list .

    20. tunney vs. dempsey 2
    19.lamotta vs. robinson 6
    18. foreman vs. ali
    17. louis vs. schmeling 2
    16. pep vs. sadler
    15. holyfield vs. bowe 1
    14. leonard vs. hearns 1
    13. walcott vs. marciano
    12. holmes vs. norton
    11. foreman vs. lyle
    10. basilio vs. demarco
    9. arguello vs. pryor 1
    8. ali vs. frazier 1
    7. graziano vs. zale 1
    6. graziano vs. zale 2
    5. louis vs. conn 1
    4. hearns vs. hagler
    3. moore vs. durelle
    2. ali vs. frazier 3
    1. dempsey vs. firpo

    what do you think of the list and what would you change ? ..personally i can't belive castillo vs. corrales 1 is not in there ? that was a great fight i don't care the era!!!..also i don't think that ali vs. frazier 1, louis vs. schmeling 2 and ali vs. foreman should be in the list they were good fights but not top 20 all time i think they made it more because of the event and the impact than the actual fights it self ..

    cant believe they didnt have castillo corrales... i guess your right... i guess their going for the magnitude of the event more than the fight itself...

                Where is Marciano Vs. Louis I?

                How did Lamotta Vs. Robinson make it but not Marciano Vs. Louis I? I believe Lamotta Vs. Robinson 6 is the one where Lamotta just sat there laughing at Rabinson for not being able to knock him down.

                Lamotta was a crazy mother ******, a crazy crazy tough mother ******.

                Why is the rumble in the jungle number 18?

                LOL, am I really missing out on Boxing this badly?

                  thats what i was gonna say youve got guys in their damn 70's and older that think boxing sucks now, and that nothing past 90 is any good really, yeah they had holyfield-bowe on their so one pick.

                  definitely castillo-chico, tito-vargas, barrera-morales, kelley-hamed just to name a few.
