Marvin Hagler and Thomas Hearns fought for the WBC , WBA and IBF middleweight titles on April 15, 1985 .

The contest lasted just three rounds but is considered to be among the finest, most exciting boxing matches in history due to its constant action, drama and back-and-forth exchanges.

Ring Magazine dubbed the fight “the most electrifying eight minutes ever’, and it has been the barometer of every thrilling fight since.

The first round, in particular, has often been described as the greatest of all time.

Erik Morales vs Marco Antonio Barrera I, 2000 , was Ring Magazine’s Fight of the Year for 2000 , and was also named as the best fight of all time in the same year .

Chris Eubank vs Nigel Benn I, 1990 , was a throwback war, a clash of chemistry.

Muhammad Ali vs Joe Frazier III , 1975 , produced one of the most exciting, brutal battles in boxing history.

Eddie Futch pulled the exhausted exhausted Frazier out of the final, 15th round.
