    Honestly, gotta go with Leonard-Hearns I, the fight that really made me a lifelong boxing fan!

    Foreman-Norton used to feel otherworldly.

    Gun to my head, favourite fight is Tyrone Spong vs Michael Duut.

    It just always makes me smile with joy.

    Easily the best answer. I miss that era of SMWs.

    Probably Sanders / Wlad for sentimental reasons. I'd followed Corrie's career from the start and always felt Sanders had not done himself justice. Honestly I thought by that time he'd missed the boat to really show what he could do. I knew - KNEW - that he was going to pull himself together for the Wlad fight because it was finally the big break he'd been asking for. I think Wlad totally looked past him and Sanders delivered the nuclear bombs in spades.

    The Adamek vs Cunningham fight was entertaining

    The day Foreman beat 5 dudes was memorable

    Shock value was Boom Boom Mancini vs Duk Ku Kim for amount of punishment taken and still continuing to fight

    Honestly, it may seem strange as it was somewhat one sided - but Wilder vs Fury two had such a sense of anticipation and drama around it, coupled with proper Vegas production and showmanship, that I always come back to that as a favourite.

    I really liked Broner vs Maidana too for its freakshow type nature. And I’m no Broner hater either.

    If i had to pick ONE it would be Zale v Graziano 2.

    I'd love to see McLarnin v Canzoneri , can't find it in full though... supposed to have been an epic contest by all accounts.
