If you could go back in time and watch a fight live what would it be?

    That would be phenomenal.

    Either that or Norton-Holmes.

    Usyk v Chisora III.

    I will enter the ring after the 1st round and I would stop the fight punching the referee, the judges and Warren with a pair of gloves full of cement putting all them asleep. Pathetic and dangerous bout for the consequences it could have had on a harmless old man like Chisora, who didnt want give up like Briggs v Klitschko.

    Fury and Warren are thugs.

    We were near ringside and the half pint full plastic bottles were raining down from the balcony,so we stood to face them and see them coming.Harry Gibbs was near us,I remember he went and stood in front of Terry Lawless' Wife,to shield her from the missiles.An ugly finish to a night of boxing. Hagler's corner men, the Petronelli's tried to guard him from the bottles,a sadly disgraceful occasion for British Boxing.

    SRR v Doyle ? Why would you want to watch a fight in which a man subsequently died from the beating he received?
    I doubt you would get a clearer view of Ali's '"Anchor Punch" if you were ringside rather than watching it on TV,many who were there had conflicting stories to tell about the"punch".

    Cause I'd get to see how well SRR performed given that such an outcome could occur.

    Ali invented that horse**** about his so called "Anchor Punch". It's obvious a punch landed, but it wasn't even strong enough to crush a grape. Liston took a dive, I just wanna see how he softens his fall.

    I have been told that I saw John L. Sullivan vs James J. Corbett live by some very fine posters on this site. Ha Ha.
