All Tyson fights.

 

Judah v Koysta. Ward Gatti trilogy, Barerra V Morales. Watson V Benn. Collins Eubank 1, Eubank V Benn 1 for showman ship has to be Naz.

 

Whatever you do, just don't show him any fights involving Hopkins, Ruiz or Cory Spinks.

 

I would strongly consider Augustus vs Oliveira.

 

hopkins v hoya wasn't bad.

 

Show him Juan Manuel Marquez vs Manny Pacquiao 2. Incredible fight, and I enjoyed it more than Vasquez vs Marquez 3.

 

PBF GATTI, an amazing fight where it was a complete missmatch adn floyd was right from the start, he said it wouldnt go past 6 and he said he would walk right thru him and hit him like a punch bag. tremendous skill shown by floyd, how on earth gatti was the 140 wbc champ i dont know!? complete distruction, shame he didnt fight cotto, hatton at 140.
