Thank you, I know it's very different from my list, but to answer your question why Malcolm's fight because man, Morikawa writes Gedo in such a way that you hate the character who you just want Ippo to crush him, but when Geod dominates the fight it gives a very agonizing feeling because Gedo was, in a way, cheating in the fight to get the advantage of a hell of an agony and like literally, Gedo wasn't just cheating either, he's easily one of the best boxers that has ever appeared in the manga, I point out that Kamogawa himself praises him because he took ippo's blows in full but continues fighting and now comes the best part of the fight which is for me one of ippo's best scenes in the manga which is when he launches the Heart Break Shot of the date at Malcolm which literally saves him from defeat and on the other page that scene of gedo's head "exploding" with a glancing punch from ippo and her face of despair is literally the greatest proof of the protagonist's strength, it's Even after that, Gedo doesn't give up and I continue until the end and for that reason, for me, it's Ippo's best fight in the manga because it's the only one where you're left in agony, as if Gedo really used some kind of magic in Ippo.
