Barrera-Marquez: My two favorite fighters going to war. They battled and fought at the highest level of technical skill. In my eyes, the perfect fight.
Very, very tough. I am flat-out just picking the best fight of the last decade (Morales-Barrera I, Corrales-Castillo I, Vazquez-Marquez III), let alone ever. Best I watched live was the unbelievable Benn-McClellan, but Hatton-Tszyu was also amazing to be present for.
All told, I would have to say Frazier-Ali I. The build-up, the occasion, the stakes & gravitas, the fighters' ability & contrasting personas & ring styles, & the bout itself (the most entertaining of the trilogy IMO, The Thrilla gets over-sold) it is the best fight I've seen in my lifetime.
