    As someone who is relatively new to boxing, could anyone give me a list of great/their favourite fights to watch? Say 5-10 fights?

    Like any novice, "exciting, action-packed, fast-paced" fights are my favourites, but I'd appreciate a range of different styles. Any era would be great, and any weight class.
    Just looking to broaden my knowledge of the sport and want to study different styles. Again, this is all appreciated!

    See if you can get a hold of a decent copy of Andre Ward vs Allan Green too. There's one on Youtube but the picture quality is poor. No point watching classic fights in poor quality. It's just not right.

    PS. I was only joking about Andre Ward vs Allan Green. Don't watch it whatever you do, unless you actually enjoy being bored to tears that is.

    The Limon vs Sharmba Mitchell fight has been listed as one of the Top Ten Best Boxing Bloopers. Limon pulls Mitchell's trunks down.
