    Mine is watching George Foreman ko Michael moorer to regain the heavyweight championship.
    I don't think there is a greater feat in sports than what Foreman did that night, winning back the heavyweight title 20 yaers after losing it to Ali, and being 45 years old defeating a fighter who was almost 20 years younger.
    I've had some great memories in my life particularly watching the redskins win 3 Superbowls, a lot of other great fights like Douglas -Tyson, Holyfield - tyson, etc, but Foreman's win over Moorer was something i'll never forget, I still watch that fight today, andI still get inspired by Foreman saying a prayer of thanks on his knees in the corner after Moorer was counted out.
    What are your favorite boxing memories?

    Watching Kostya tszyu look like he was gunna get schooled against Judah to end up knocking the **** out of Zab..

    Chicken dance style.

    It that stage there was alot of hype surrounding Judah and alot of us aussies were very nervous to see if Kostya could come victorious.

    Probably the first Ali fight I ever saw. It was the Bonavena (I know I spelled it wrong give me break) It was on wide World of Sports.
    I also really enjoyed the first Tyson/Holyfield fight.
