What was the greatest boxing match ever?

Question

What was the greatest boxing match ever?

Answer 1

i have seen alot of boxing and after 30 years of watching fights these are my pics....... JCC vs Taylor 1 ....... Duran vs Leonard 1 .... Diego Corrales vs Jose Luis Castillo (where Diego come back to KO Castillo) and of course my Personal Favorites any of the Morales vs Barrera Wars.... and come to think of it, I really believe all three fights between Vasquez and Marquez might be better than any of the fights i just mentioned but is hard to say.... when choosing the greatest it all comes down to bias anyway and who was your favorite boxer, so even though i was more in awe of watching the Vasquez vs Marquez fights I am still going to say Morales Vs Barrera 1 as the greatest fight ever but was a really tough choice

Answer 2

For World Class skill + action:

Morales v. Barrera 1; and Pryor v. Arguello 1.

For just below World Class skill:

Corrales v. Castillo 1; and Ward v. Gatti 1

I'm a big MMA fan myself, but no fight they could ever put on can duplicate those types of boxing matches - not to get off on a rant, but look at the fights UFC holds as their greatest matchups; 90% are fights were the guys just stood up and "banged" (banged appears to = throwing no more than 2 punches at a time, about 60 punches total for 15 min.)

Answer 3

Don't waste your time with boxing anymore.  Watch ultimate fighting if you want some action that's not fixed.

Answer 4

Greatest boxing matchs as in greatest because of what they mean in the history of Boxing. (some for political reasons)

1, Ali Vs Foreman (Rumble in the Jungle)

2, Ali Vs Frazier 1 (Fight of the century)

3, Ali Vs Frazier 3 (Thriller in Manilla)

4, Louis Vs Schmelling 2 (USA Vs GER)

5, Sullivan Vs Corbett (Boxing is what it is nowadays because of John L Sullivan)

Greatest as in my favourite fights to watch though would be

1, Hagler Vs Hearns

2, Ward Vs Gatti 1

3, Corrales Vs Castillo 1

4, Barrera Vs Morales 1

5, Ali Vs Frazier 1

Answer 5

Ever? Gee, too many to really pick the greatest. But in my opnion I'll go ahead and say Ali vs. Frazier 3. Out of all the matches Ive watched growing up I never saw 2 men beat the living h**l outta each other like those two did.

Answer 10

Ali vs Frazier #3 was 14 rounds of action. Neither fighter was ever close to the same after that fight. It took a lot out of both men & both should have hung them up after that.

Maurice & Frank D did a great job at naming the some great fights. But I think this one was the best.
