Like on the popular radio programe the scenario in this thread is you are marooned on a desert island and must choose certain posesions to take with you. You can take with you a solar powered DVD player and DVDs of any seven filmed fights. In adition you may bring one boxing related book and one peice of memerobilia. So- Seven fights One book One peice of memerobila What would you choose.
Fights: Chacon-Limon IV Saad-Lopez II Chacon-Boza II Sanchez-Nelson Lopez-Ayala Morales-Barrera I Jofre-Medel Book: In This Corner Memorabilia: None
Oh and if you dont post your selection I will choose for you and it will include a lot of Ruiz fights.
benn vs mclellan ali vs frazier 3 tyson vs douglas..(surely the biggest upset ever, and good to watch..) ali vs foreman...(bravest ring performance by the greatest??) corrales vs castillo 1 mercer vs morrison...(just to remind myself what a really brutal ko looks like) hagler vs hearns, for sheer 100mph ferocity mmm, memorobilia....??..get back to you on that one book....mclvanney on boxing...beautiful prose by a masterful journalist

Hearns v Cuevas Duran v DeJesus II Ali v Frazier III AR Cream v Louis I Patterson v Johansson II Hagler v Hamsho I Marciano v Walcott I
Fights Ali - Foreman (My fave Ali fight for numerous reasons) Hearn's - Duran (Hearn's best of the best, lightning strikes) SRL - Hagler (Unbelievable upset and a real boxing clinic) Holyfield - Tyson (I never tire of it, bully meets hero) Sanchez - Gomez (Battle of the little giants) Super Greg Page - Coetzee (Destiny fulfilled!) Holmes - Witherspoon (A personal fave) Book In the Corner: Great Boxing Trainers Talk About Their Art Memorabilia The gloves Tommy wore in the Duran fight, signed personally.
Fights: 1. Gatti - Ward 1 2. Frazier - Ali 1 3. Hearns - Leonard 2 (Imo more dramatic than their first fight) 4. Marciano - Walcott 1 5. Foreman - Lyle 6. Holmes - Norton 7. Toney - Nunn Books: The Greatest (Most enjoyable biography I've yet read.) Memoraillia: Probably just my old boxing magazines. I don't really have anything of value
