...if you could go back in time and watch a particular match (or moment) you love for the first time all over again what would it be? It's like if you love a movie, and are envious of people that get to watch and experience it for the first time... ...what is a fight or boxing moment had you on cloud 9? What gave you such a euphoric feeling, that you wish you could experience that moment for the first time all over again? For me, its Pacquiao's win over Cotto. I will never forget that night, and how elated I was. Unlike most, I thought Pacquiao should have been the underdog, and I thought Cotto would win. I watched in a bar full of Puerto Ricans, who were all cheering for Cotto. Us Pac fans were all in a back corner. Our small little group almost blew the roof off the joint after that 3rd round knockdown, as the other stared in shock. What a night. I was so happy, I almost cried. I was still on a cloud in the afternoon of the next day. It was a very memorable experience. Vitali "roughing up" Lewis, and Mayorga KOing Forrest are two others.
I'd like to go back in time and actually watch myself watching RJJ VS Antonio Tarver 2, think I sat with my mouth hanging open for a full 10 minutes. Being a Brit, I'd love to go back to sitting with my pals cheering Ricky Hatton against Kostya, brilliant night for British Boxing.
The first one was memorable for me too, but not in a good way. I can see what Brits would be proud of Hatton's win over Tszyu.
These ones for me, I saw both fights live: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cz4eczB-5U4[/ame] and this one, starting at 8:40 [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6pVq_7sKbs&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL[/ame] well done JT
The Castillo Corrales fight for me, I was lucky enough to watch it live. The euphoric feeling overwhelmed me when Corrales knocked him out in round 10, one of the greatest rounds ever
Morales-Pacquiao I ..., one of my favorite fights..., I remember watching it live with my father and we were really euphoric the hole fight.
Donaire-Darchinyan.. I missed the fight because I was at work. I actually wish I watched that one LIVE on HD, oh well. Exciting fight and Darchinyan was no joke at the time.

Pacquiao-DelaHoya I was praying that entire day that Pacquiao doesnt get seriously hurt. I couldn't imagine him winning at all. During that ring walk I smiled and whispered to myself "you've earned this Pac and we're proud out of you no matter what." I sat down depressed expecting a slaughter against him but after the first minute when Pac landed a straight left with DLH missing his counters, I jumped up screaming at the top of my lungs and for the rest of the fight my body was numb and I didnt blinked at all. When it was all over I felt like I just won a poker tournament. I had a headache, body was sore, my throat was itchy for the entire night but man did it ever feel so great.
Agreed, i was only little but that fight made me fall in love with boxing, they'll never be another Naz
