    I love Sugar Ray but Hagler won that fight.

    The Leonard - Hearns fight was a classic fight, probable his best in terms of back and forth action and momentum. The 2nd Duran fight was his best technical/ dominating performance...When Duran said No Mas it was just shocking, because Duran was a tough guy, but he just couldn't handle the shear domination.

    I want to watch this one again.

    Did you see the Hearns/Hagler fight? It is one of the best fights of all-time. A must see fight.

    My Dad feels the same way and we've debated the fight off and on for years, he was a big Haglar fan. One of those discussions that pop-up every once in a while and we rehash the same old arguements right where we left off. He liked Haglar's straight forward fighting style, he thought Leonard was too "flashy" and ran too much. :D

    Another fight I need to watch again, a classic.

    The biggest sham fight i've ever watched (I was at the fight) was Chavez vs. Whitaker. Whitaker seriously kicked his ass, complete domination- that fight was fixed-- a classic Don King fight.

    I remember that fight well. It was on St. Patty's day. That fight was fixed for sure.

    What makes the ward and gatti fight nice is that they are both face first fighter that is the only way they can fight look at the losses of those guys.The greatest boxing rivalry for me is ali and frazier rivalry and the underrated morales and barerra rivalry.

    Nope. 15 round decision. Frazier knocked Ali down in the 14th round in their 1st fight, but never knocked him out.
