I thought Ali-Frazier 1at Madison Square Garden was balls to the wall the roughest I ever saw I (both fighters said that they felt like they died) also Hagler-Hearns was a knockdown drag out battle as well, quite a match. Ali-Foreman in Zaire was an epic fight. I remember a few by Roberto Duran and Sugar Ray Leonard especially the Olympics with Leonard that were pretty intense.
Hagler-Hearns was one of the best fights I've ever seen. I'm a huge boxing fan. If there was any fight that was like a fight from the movies this is the one. The first round bell rang and Hagler comes out swinging, they both throw power punches from there on. I believe, Hearns broke his arm during the fight and it didn't stop him. My favorite fight of all time.

Best fight ever? In my lifetime for sure
I have vague memories. I was in the 5th or 6th grade. But too young to know anything.
