If you had a friend who'd never seen a Boxing match. Whats the first fight you show.?

The Bloody Battle of Bayamon

 

Toney VS McCallum I

 

Moore-Durelle I

 

I showed my gf JMM-Pac 4, she thought it was great

 

Erik Morales-Marco Antonio Barrera I .

IMO the best fight ever.

 

For one off fights I'd say cotto v margarito. That was great to watch.

A fight series doesn't get much better than pac-jmm all 4 have been hard fought high skill contests.

 

March 8 1971.


It had it all ! Both Muhammad and Joe went way beyond the call of duty that night.

 

Chacon-Limon IV

Morales-Barrera I and Castillo-Corrales I were both good shouts, though.

 

Agreed. The greatest fight I've ever seen.

Arguello-Pryor I is also a fight I'd recommend to newcomers. Outrageous war.

 

Have you seen it?

 

I remember back in 1976 bringing an 8 mm film of some of Joe Louis's fight to high school. I was the only one into boxing and I brought 6 or 7 of my friend's to the school library to watch the film during lunch. The film showed highlights of Louis against M Baer, Buddy Baer, Simon and Walcott 2. All I remember hearing were the ohhs and ahhs from my friend's as Louis landed his machine gun like combinations. All became instantly Louis fans and a few to his day are hooked on boxing because of what they saw that day.
