[Theron]

What would be, any 2 fighters from any era, What will be the most exiting, crowd gathering fight of all time ?

[tezel8764]

[thistle1]

too many to even think of...

I'd say Ali v Louis and Tyson v Marciano for HWs...

Zale v Hagler or Hagler v Benn

I always thought Britain's Ernie Roderick v Fritzie Zivic.

McAvoy v Walker or Greb

Lynch v Wilde

Lewis v Big Klit II

and for me Gilroy v Burley circa 1942 (it could've happened, Charley Rose invited Gilroy to America then).

Eric Boon v Henry Armstrong

loads & loads to imagine!

[AlFrancis]

For me, Duran v JC Chavez at lightweight.

[DrBoxa]

Maidana vs gatti

No more needs to be said!

[babaluma]

Matt Skelton vs Henry Akinwande

Audley Harrison vs Sven Ottke

Carlos De Leon vs Johnny Nelson the rematch

James Warring vs Johnny Nelson the rematch

[bladerunner]

Hagler-Monzon
SRR-SRL
Ali-Tyson
Duran-Chavez
Ali-Tyson
Arguello-Sanchez

[cuchulain]

To settle an old question, prime for prime, Ali-Louis.

And it would be a decent scrap as well.

I've never even considered that one, but boy would that be a great fight. presumably they'd both meet at light weight, although I imagine a light welterweight or even a welterweight meeting is possible. Probably have to favor Duran, but what a match.

[burt bienstock]

Dempsey / Louis in primes....
Louis / Ali
Dempsey/ Tyson
Marciano /Frazier
Basillio / Duran
Benny Leonard / Duran
Gene Tunney/ Ezzard Charles
Henry Armstrong / Floyd Mayweather 140 lbs.
Alexis Arguello / Sandy Saddler
Beau Jack / Floyd Mayweather 135 lbs.
Harry Greb / Marvin Hagler in primes..
Mickey Walker / Dick Tiger
Freddie Steele / Monzon
Terry McGovern / Henry Armstrong at 126 lbs.
P.S. I can dream, can't I ?.

Manny vs floyd... (take it is a joke, please)

Mike Tyson vs David Tua would be cool.

[lufcrazy]

Dempsey v Rocky.

OK it's a deal...One of the greatest slam bang fights I saw was in 1946 when Britain's Heavyweight Bruce Woodcock, took on one of my favourite action heavyweight Tami Mauriello at MSG...Oh my what a fantasy brawl
it was with tough Tami koing Woodcock in the 5th round...Cheers.

Woodcock was apparently leading that bout until he led with his chin and Tami wasted no time at seeing the opening. Woodcock got plenty of praise too for it bar that foolish moment.

How do you remember him, generally speaking?
