    Has to be Ali v Foreman.

    It had the smell of the 70's.

    At the far end of the world (Zaire).

    Ali got killed in almost every rd, then just like that he turned the tables and ko'd him.

    It's like witnessing someone resurrecting from the dead.

    I'm no expert, but Hagler Hearns, Tyson Berbick and the final round of Froch Taylor are all favourites of mine

    Roberto Duran vs Iran Barkley. Yes, there have been better fights I guess, but none have gotten me as pumped as watching Roberto Duran make the world eat crow one last time.

    You’re no expert at picking your own favourites?

    That’s a real strange thing to say.

    Antonio Margarito-Miguel Cotto 1 I was ridiculed when i predicted Tony would beat Cotto. Folk called him The Statue etc. Well he came through it all & beat Cotto to a pulp. But sadly many refuse to give him credit for it after the BS loaded gloves fiasco. Cotto himself tried to use that as an excuse afterwards but refused to rematch Tony till he knew his eye was permanently damaged. Even then he couldnt legitimately beat him his NY doc had to save Cotto quitting AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
