    I've only been a fan for about 2 years but in that time, probably Cotto-Canelo

    The fight I wanted BAD!! was Lennox Lewis- Riddick Bowe. I wanted t see Lennox KO Bowe AGAIN!!!!!!!
    I'd have loved to see Lennox- Ike Ibeabuchi too That Vegas hooker scuttled that

    By far Holyfield/Tyson. The superbowl of boxing.

    Because I grew up in California, and because I was a big fan of El Feroz:

    Dela Hoya vs Vargas


    From a personal point of view:

    Keith McKnight vs Phil Jackson (1st time I worked as a cutman)

    Forget the icing and who ducked who...
    They were both closer to 40 than they were to 30.
    Should have met in their primes.

    That's what you get mad about???

    Right now, I see a thread about how Canelo can be the lineal champion. I also see a thread on if the winner of GGG/Jacobs should be the lineal champion. They're the same ****ing thread! You should merge those those two thread instead of complaining about his thread!!

    To answer the question Pacquiao Marquez II was my most anticipated fight ever. I was fired up for that one. Both guys in their prime. I knew it would be exciting. And I didn't know who would win. I was seriously amped for that fight.

    Yeah "racial twist" can be fun. I liked Hopkins v.s Smith recently! Also Lomachenko v.s Walters. "Yo da axe man gonna chop him up breh!"

    Tyson-Holyfield

    Whitaker- Chavez Sr

    The only fight of the last 20 years or so of that stature would have to be the Manny-Floyd match.
