    Re: Favorite / Greatest fights of all time

    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

    Haha...I was 9 when it happened. I got interested in boxing when I was around 11 though, and would buy the older fights on VHS at the flea market and watch them. I probably watched that fight for the first time when I was about 15.

    Re: Favorite / Greatest fights of all time

    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

    I don't even watch boxing anymore except for Pacquiao (I'm Filipino so I'm a big fan)
