First boxing match I remember
I was in grade school.

I love boxing
ill have to think about this one, there's so many to choose from. I grew up watching Tyson beat the hell out of people. Arturo Gatti had plenty of bloody battles during his career. I sure wish there was another heavyweight out there these days that would bring more excitement to the sport, always loved the big guys go at it
At the time, many people believed that The Undefeated Spinks could topple Tyson. He looked like an amateur next to this kid

Hearns got screwed in that rematch against Leonard. He should have been given that decision
The one fight on my list that rarely gets mentioned in the greatest of all time was Norton vs Holmes. After Holmes won, he was champ for a very long time. Norton never won another fight after that. Just weird how that changed the course of both men's careers and the heavyweight title scene. I didn't like Holmes at all and he was a boring fighter but he held the title for 7 years.
Pryor vs Arguello came at a time when boxing was under heavy scrutiny. That fight and the Mancini-Kim fight were 1 day apart (if I remember) and both brutal. Kim died after his fight and Pryor-Arguello had a moment where Arguello was punched 20 times in a row without punching back that Howard Cosell retired from doing boxing. This caused the maximum number of rounds to go to 12 instead of 15.
I was in my early 20's have been a big fight fan since I was a kid , hell remember listening to the Cassius Clay fight on the radio LOL
have not been so enamored in the fight game the past decade though it lacks a lot to be desired in terms of a solid group of heavy weights like when I was younger
when you had a half dozen in the HW division over a span of a dozen years that could put on a display vs anybody .... Ali , Foreman , Frazier , Norton , Liston , Jimmy Young to name a few

Greatest fight of all times?
Canada vs. Russian 1987 World Junior Hockey Bench Brawl. The organizers tried to turn off the lights on them because they couldn't stop it, and they still kept fighting.
