    mike tysons early fights, so many guys i know love the big brutal ko's over a 12 round war, they have short attention spans and cant appreciate the technique and stamina of the lighter guys till they learn more

    it also depends what type of fighter he like? does he like pure excitement and fighters who bring KOs all the time? or does he like to watch masters of the sweet science?

    Miguel Cotto vs Zab Judah
    Pavlik vs Taylor

    Cotto and Pavlik are the 2 rising stars in the sport and those, I believe are their best showcase fights.

    Why?
    RJJ Toney, ok. Bit odd, though. Of course he'd want to learn about boxing properly, then that would be a fine fight of two ATGs.

    How about the Bowe Holy trilogy, Relentless.

    vargas trinidad - you can watch it over and over
    maybe not a popular choice but i always like haye - thompson to see the way haye threw everything he had at an aging fighter and for him to come back at him - a great watch
    the hbo legendary nights is great for people getting into the sport i showed it to me mates and they got hooked
