What`s the best boxing match you`ve seen???

My favourite would have to be the Gatti Vs Ward `trilogy`.

1st fight:

Controversial: Gatti loses to Ward on majority decision (I thought Gatti should have won). Probably the most exciting fight I`ve ever seen.

2nd fight:

Lesson in boxing: Gatti wins easily (unanimous decision), out-boxing and dominating Ward from the first bell. Another great fight.

3rd fight:

Gatti wins again (unanimous decision), even though he broke his hand in the 4th round and had to get up off the floor in round 6.

I doubt I`ll ever see a set of fights as exciting as this again. So many have promised so much and failed to deliver.

Chris Eubank Vs Nigel Benn - first two fights.

They beat the living s**t out of each other - awesome!

Marvin Hagler -v- Sugar Ray Leonard

I think it was Hagler`s last fight.

Neil.

Seconded!

Also

Benn v McClennan. Tragic ending, but a brutal slugfest from the opening bell.
