MUST WATCH BOXING SURVEY - FINAL RESULTS

It's such a subjective topic that it can only ever be a list of your personal favourites based on your own personal criteria.

 

Though I don't know.......I think for my own list I'm going to treat it as if I was trying to show an impressionable young fan various styles and kind of fights to broaden the perspective.

 

I'm gonna have to look into mine in more detail now that I have an initial list.

My criteria, is a simple one. My favourite fights.

 

Very good idea. Count me in

I look forward to seeing your list!

 

Right—a bunch of the fights on my list will probably be more instructive and informative than entertaining.

 

Mine too

 

I hear ya! If it was greatest fights I might include up to 5 or so HW fights just because that seems to be where the largest impact historically comes from...but in must watch I am trying to go off of fights I found vastly entertaining or can enjoy on multiple views. I am sure few if any will pick Hatton vs Tszyu but for me it was the fight that got me back into boxing in a major way after kind of stepping back for a few years. I love the fight even though it sometimes gets criticized. Good luck, looking forward to your list.

But then I have the fab 4, I have Margarito and the Marquez brothers.

Man this is tough.

 

This is gonna be amazing!

Glad to be back... that twelve hours was torture!
