Best Boxing Round Ever !!!
In my opinion, Gatti / Ward, was the greatest boxing rivalry ever in the sport. Three separate times these two warriors battled eachother. And without a doubt, this round, was the greatest round ever fought in the history of boxing !!!

ABSOLUTELY
Gatti RIP. He was one of my favourites to watch win or lose.

Have you seen Castillo vs. Corrales first fight? Their final rounds were great. Not as good as Gatti vs. Ward though.

Re: Best Boxing Round Ever !!!
Off the top of my head , in no particular order:
Any round in the short Hagler-Hearns fight;
The last round of Ali-Foreman;
The last round of Tyson-Douglas;
And I watched a great performance from a middleweight about 2 weeks ago ( whose name escapes me)....it was partof a triple header on Showtime. He destroyed a top opponent in the 1st round.

Tyson-Douglas
Yeah that was pretty awesome to see Buster KO Tyson. There is a good documentary about it that I watched on TV.

Re: Best Boxing Round Ever !!!
They were two great boxers at least.
Ward and Gatti were two very tough guys but Ward was never world class and Gatti was not once he moved above 130.
The first round of Hagler Hearns was epic. Hagler took some massive shots from Hearns and I think went back to his corner with blood coming from his forehead.
Several rounds of Barrera MoralesI have to qualify. For a fight between two legends it was some of the most sustained, brutal action I've seen. I think the fifth round of the first fight was the best one, but it's hard to remember. I have that fight on cassette.
I'll also say Marciano WalcottI round 13 because of the dramatic finish and its significance in light of Marciano's undefeated record in a fight he was losing.

Someone tell me how Marvin Hagler took those right hands. Granted Hearns started as a welterweight, but anyone who saw his knockouts of Cuevas and Duran knows how hard he hit. Hagler had a granite jaw!
