    If I wanted to show a mate what boxing was all about, what would be the best fights to showcase the sport?

    So far I got JMM-Diaz I, Morales-Barrera I.

    Tapia vs Ayala.
    Smyth vs Edwards.


    I can't believe no one has mentioned Hagler vs Hearns yet.

    NOVICE fans folks. No point throwing about black and white grainy images.

    If someone doesnt like Hagler v Hearns then they will never like boxing.

    I'd also suggest maybe Ali v Cleveland Williams as a one sided beat down exhibition. Any Tyson fight pre prison really. And almost any Nigel Benn fight.

    These were the fights that first got me into boxing.

    Márquez vs Díaz I is the perfect fight. :good:

    Others:

    Morales vs Barrera I
    Morales vs Barrera III
    Gatti vs Ward I
    Holyfield vs Bowe I, maybe even II and III.
    Apparently Qawi vs Holyfield I was quite good.
    I didn't think that Hagler vs Hearns was as good as many think, but it was still a very good fight.
    Pacquiao vs Márquez I
    Vázquez vs Márquez I
    Márquez vs Vázquez II
    Vázquez vs Márquez III
    Ward vs Burton
    Márquez vs Concepción

    I also think that it's worth showing one or two fights like Mayweather vs Corrales. A few Tyson fights as well. You could also show some of Roy Jones' and Pernell Whitaker's best performances as well.

    Herol Graham-Julian Jackson. Just for the look on their face at the "Oh no!" moment.
