Nice article in the Guardian and all of them great picks with accompanying footage. Also contains some great McIlvanney quotes.

Some belting picks there, Dempsey Firpo is a personal favourite, complete carnage.

I'm surprised the 10th in Castillo v Corrales wasn't in there.

Posting on another thread, this topic reminded me of one hell of a round. Again, tragic but (from late 80's early 90's) I can't think of anything other than Castillo / Corrales which is more topsy turvy unpredictable. McGuigan's commentary is incredible (ie how wrong he was).

Actually watch the full fight it is brilliant,

Pathetic refereeing at the end though...

Thanks for that Super,I had seen the fights and have got some of them recorded. I,m not sure which is my favourite but Hearns Hagler must be up there.Agree with you Boxing Fan, the ref should have stepped in and saved Lyle from needless punishment.
