What were the tightest, most competitive, and toughest fights of the last quarter century to score in your view? There's a thread on the Pacquaio/Marquez fights already, so obviously we can put those two on the list. List the ones that come to mind and debate the outcomes.

Hagler-Leonard.....

Hagler vs Leonard would be the obvious one id say. Most debated anyway. :thumbsup:

Most definitely. I just thought it'd be fun to get a good list together, because I love scoring and re-scoring fights like that.
