An underrated round is the 6th and final round of the Lennox Lewis vs Vitali Klitschko fight. They beat the shite out of each other that round and were both exhausted at the bell before doctor stopped the fight.

If Dempsey were alive today with modern training and nutrition and on PED’s he’d be 220 pounds and an absolute savage with speed and movement. He’d be a killer.

Bowe - Holyfield


If you had linked this to round 10 of their first fight, you'd be on to something. Great round! But mentioning it with a pic of Fan Man ruined it. That round was memorable for all the wrong reasons.

Morales vs Barrera had numerous rounds that would be in the run for top 10 best round status.

Buster Douglas vs Tyson in the round before the KO... Tyson came out swinging and Douglas took his best punch so far and thats when the tide turned. Definite long count benefitted Buster.

Corrales v Castillo rd 10


That round should go into the Boxing Hall of Fame as one of the greatest, if not the absolute greatest.

Corrales was in jeopardy of being DQ'd if he continued spitting out his mouthpiece like he had done twice and was in bad shape from the beating Castillo was putting on him.

How he turned it around was amazing and once he had Castillo hurt, he never relented until the ref stopped the fight.

Hagler/Hearns round 1 is also a good pick.

Also the 13th round of the championship fight between Jersey Joe Walcott and Rocky Marciano. Marciano behind on all cards works Jersey Joe against the ropes and unleashes a brutal right that had Jersey Joe out before he slumped to the canvas in a seated position with his left arm caught on the middle rope. Then he slowly face plants to the canvas and could have been counted out with a sundial.

Go see round 15 of Holmes and Norton in 1978 and tell me if any better?

Love these old fight videos. There's no "Go to the neutral corner" crap. Just stand close and when the opponents gloves clear the canvas, commence to beating the crap out of him.

Different times, different rules.

The gloves they used back then were probably less cushioned than the gloves of today also. Those guys were Tough!

Look at some of those fighters career records from the 20's to the 60's and see how many fights they had in their careers. The list is long with fighters having 100 or more bouts. They had fights so often that they never really needed training camps to get in shape since many of them were fighting 15+ times a year.


So many fighters boxing today likely won't see 50 total fights in their entire pro career before retiring even though there are a few exceptions that are basically "old school" types who fight and fought often like Pacquaio, Canelo Alvarez, Roberto Duran, Carlos Monzon, Marvin Hagler, George Foreman, etc.
