    Not the most anticipated, but ones that actually delivered in the ring on fight night.

    And let's set the qualifying criteria as three good fights on the card.

    Which shows would you go back in time to be at?

    Hearns-Benitez was pretty good. Only had an all-time great war on the undercard, and a damn good tactical match for a main event.

    Those Don King supercards in the early to mid 90s were pretty mad.

    6 future HOFers - including Greb vs Walker as the main event. How can you go wrong with that?

    this is an interesting question that would constitute a small book/booklet on Boxing...

    there must have been some UNBELIEVABLE array of Fight Cards over time, think of Music Posters from the 60s & 70s, with absolutely Great Rock Bands from then and still - all time Classic Bands.

    Pictures of the Programs, Bills & Flyers, the Newspaper Adds, and of course Fight Reports here and there throught the History from these Cards...

    But ONLY the absolute most unbelivable Greatest Bills & Fight Cards in History.

    I'd buy it!
