I can't disagree with the Ali vs Frasier fight, but the Sugar Ray Leonard vs Marvelous Marvin Haggler was a great one as well, even though it wasn't a Heavy weight fight. In my mind it was unbelievable. As much of a fan of Sugar Ray as I was, I never would have believed that he would have beaten the bull that Haggler was. Haggler was outstanding, there were no flaws with either of them. Leonard on that night was just so much faster and smarter. I have never seen a fighter leave his corner at the bell as fast as Leonard did, he was in Hagglers face before he ever knew what hit him.

Originally posted by slimjimYea great shows, but hey Rocky was a middleweight at best, that's why everyone looked so much bigger than him in his fights. Because everyone is. But Apollo was the best actor of the bunch. I liked Rocky's first manager, he reminder me of Popeye, all he needed was a pipe and a can of spinach.
Heavyweights people. Rocky vs. Apollo Creed.
