This **** is hard to beat: 28th September 1979 Larry Holmes vs. Ernie Shavers II Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Andy Price Roberto Duran vs. Zeferino Gonzalez Wilfredo Gomez vs. Carlos Mendoza Jimmy Young vs. Mike Dokes Hall of Fame City or what?
"Revenge:The Rematches" May 7th 1994 Julio Cesar Chavez vs Frankie Randall Azumah Nelson vs Jesse James Leija Terry Norris vs Simon Brown Gerald McClellan vs Julian Jackson Ricardo Lopez vs Kermin Guardia Meldrick Taylor vs Chad Broussard
Estadio Azteca 20th February 1993 The card had on it Azumah Nelson, Gaberial Ruelas, Michael Nunn, Terry Norris, Felix Trinidad, Julio Cesar Chavez and Gerald McCllean. Also notables in Greg Haugen, Maurice Blocker and Terrance Ali. Bet these guys never forget fighting in front of 130, 000 fans
You'd struggle to get an equivalent of those fights on three different cards nowadays. I'd actually give the PPV company a tip if they put a card like that on nowadays.:yep
Boxing used to have a long history of huge cards. Those days seem to have disappeared with the PPV cards, but in modern days, next months Steiglitz Groves card seems to be turning back the clock. It definitely deserves an honorable mention, and globally, from a fightfans perspective, it smashes the Cotto/Phoney card.:hey
