And why don’t you post the three rounds which you think are the best here instead of having people go to your BLOG?

Because the videos of all three rounds are there which you can watch. Unless you think they should vote on something they havent seen. Anything else?

But than you can always post the url’s of those 3 videos here. Unless of course you are merely interested in drawing traffic to your BLOG.

The best round ever fought wasn't televised....

Mike Tyson and Mitch 'Blood' Green in a street brawl at three in the morning outside Dapper Dan's in Harlem.

I was thinking about that one. The Hagler Hearns for me is a classic and was just a battle for 3 rounds. Plus they were two great fighters.

The other two I chose, I watched live and they were just unbelievable.

I wasnt alive during the rope a dope and I’m not an Ali fan

Mitch Green was an animal.

Three or four years after this rumble he was arrested for going into a gas station on the Grand Central Parkway at Laguardia Airport, knocking out the two attendants and then pumping gas and pocketing the cash for two hours.

Yeah, Hagler-Hearns is a legendary fight, especially where I grew up.

The Mickey Ward fight is also a well remembered fight up here because he was from Mass. as well. They’re actually making a movie about him thats starring Mark Wahlberg.

And the Castillo fight was unbelievable from the start. The whole fight was basically like rd 10. Castillo just died recently from a motorcycle crash in Vegas

This is amazing. I had a party at my house for that fight and taped it. I dug it out and watched it yesterday. That fight is rated 8th best of all time by Ring Magazine.

When Richard Steele stopped it in the 3rd round to have the ringside doctor look at the cut on Hagler's forhead, he asked Hagler "Can you see"? Hagler replied "Am I missing him?.

Hearns broke his right hand with the punch that cut Hagler.

I’d like to have seen that one

or Walt garrison knocking some karate guy out in Dallas one night according to legend

or John Riggins in one of his many brawls

or that biker KOing Jean Claude VanDamme at Scores...

but the best fight I ever saw on film

UFC....Forrest Griffin versus Stephan Bonner

unbelievable

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forrest_Griffin_vs._Stephan_Bonnar

conventional boxing.....broke jaw Ali versus Norton....maybe
