    I'll pick a fight that I've already seen, since it sounds like that's the spirit of the question. And I'll also go with Ali vs. Foreman. I'll never have the opportunity to live a moment like that while it happens, it would be a magical experience.

    It just might be Sullivan Kilrain. But would they look at me askance if I wore shorts and prepared some margarita slushies?

    Ali - Frazier I. FOTC. The hype was just unreal. And against all odds they even exceeded the exceptionally high expectations!

    Pryor v Arguello, Orange Bowl, Miami, Florida, Friday November 12, 1982.

    The most exciting fighter in the game right now is defending his title against against an all-time great looking to make history by becoming the first 4-weight world champion.

    Will The Hawk's insane energy overwhelm Arguello or will Alexis's class tell? This is a can't miss fight that really could go either way although I have to favour Arguello based on his edge in big fight experience. Leonard-Hearns last year was great but this one looks like it could be even better.

    Oh yeah, and Duran's on the undercard. He's been off his game for a while but I think he can still come back.

    Exciting weekend ahead this:
    The Pryor-Arguello fight tonight and then Ray Mancini is defending his title tomorrow. We're in the glory days right now...
