His fight against Mario Martinez would definitely have to be considered one. It was way more action-packed than the Gatti vs. Ward fight. Which other ones?

I use the term "war" here as it is commonly used by boxing fans.

Well, really not too many, he was pretty dominant.
Rocky Lockridge (Split decision)
Pernell Whitaker (which was a draw)
Frankie Randall 1st fight (which was his "first" loss; deducted points for lows blows cost him big)
Miguel Gonzalez (Another draw)
De La Hoya (maybe, but was more of a beatin')

That dude miodragon needs to chill. Sure war is a serious and tragic subject. And the death and destruction it has caused millions upon millions over time is truly a tragedy of historic proportions. But this was a sports related question. Nothing else.
No doubt about it, the first Chavez vs. Taylor was a monstrous fight. At the end of the 11th round you wouldn't have known that Taylor was ahead on points and that Chavez desperately needed a KO or a TKO. Taylor was all beat up. The desperation, Taylor's foolhardy courage and Chavez unrelentlessness ultimately made this fight and instant classic. Too bad the ending was so controversial. Controversial but correct, regardless of the time left in the round, and fight for that matter. One more Chavez left hook could've killed Taylor.
Yes, miodragon, fighters have been killed, just like in war. Sure they weren't shot or blown up mind you. That still doesn't lessen the fact that lives have been lost in the ring and any grief and pain brought on by those deaths has been as real as any other death by any other means.
You might say that a boxing death is not the same as a soldier dying in the battlefield. Maybe, maybe not. While a soldier is defending some sort of ideal or way of living, most boxers fight to feed their families. Is dying trying to feed your family any less honorable than dying for your country? I think not!

none. come on, be realistic. come up with a better word. they're not 'wars'. they're fights. war is serious. to compare a trivial 'sporting' event (and i use quotes because i find it strange to call 2 half-naked men beating the crap out of each other a sport) to war...where sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, etc. die every day is just plain ridiculous. restate your question without calling it 'war'.
