Best you’ve seen with your own eyes (live)

I’ve been fortunate to have seen some ATGs live — not always prime, but seen them with my own eyes nonetheless — and some other notables.

I’m interested to know who the best you’ve seen are, and any memories you want to share.

Among mine, I saw:

Roy Jones Jr. (vs. Sugar Boy Malinga — I rate Roy as the best among the guys I’ve seen)
Oscar de la Hoya
Larry Holmes
Hector Camacho
George Foreman (on the comeback trail when it was still kind of a circus attraction)
Azumah Nelson
Mike Tyson
Michael Spinks
Simon Brown
Michael Nunn
Oliver McCall
Evander Holyfield
Dwight Muhammad Qawi
Bert Cooper
Renaldo Snipes
Julian Jackson
Razor Ruddock
Carl “The Truth” Williams
Buster Douglas
Trevor Berbick
Roberto Duran
Lennox Lewis
Tyrell Biggs
Michael Moorer
John John Molina
Deontay Wilder
Shawn Porter
Jermell Charlo
Jermall Charlo
Adrien Broner
Jessie Vargas

There’s probably more, and while that seems like a lot if you’re like me and you go to a fight — you show up for the first one in the middle of the afternoon in the empty arena and stay until the last bell. And many of those I saw three or four on the same night (especially on those long Don King cards back in the day).

I’m not trying to start a competition. I was thinking about some of the fighters I’ve seen and started listing and checking boxrec for the undercards and seeing if my memory was correct (I’d forgotten about some or maybe didn’t realize that guy I saw on an undercard turned out to be Simon Brown, for instance). I’m in my mid-50s and have been going to fights since I was a kid and my dad took me to the local smokers. I’d rather be in an arena with a fight going on than just about anywhere else. I’d like to know who you’ve seen, met, whatever.
