Name me ONE FIGHT from history...

Something like Hagler-Hearns.
FOTC is hard to top though but just to pick something different.

 

I would say Anaya-Taylor if it wasn't for misgivings about seeing a title fight in Apartheid South Africa.

 

He kicked judge and ex- fighter Kid McPartland in the eye ,struggling to get back in the ring." You sons a *****es get me back in there I'll fix him!

 

I was there, haha. For all 91 seconds.

But seriously it was a great trip that my father put together for the family, and we got to see Hector Camacho, George Foreman and Azumah Nelson in the days before (Nelson fight may have been that afternoon, can't recall) and the undercard had Buster Douglas among others ... maybe Julian Jackson too?

 

I understand some of the pics here but personally I would want to see a fight that has not been filmed. We can see Ali Frazier but it would be awesome to be able to go back in time and actually see John L Sullivan fight so I could see just how good he really was.

 

Greb-Tunney I

 

Sounds awesome

 

Kevin Kelley vs Prince Naseem Hamed

 

Good call that was an entertaining fight. Plus Hameds ring entrance was like 9 minutes long

 

Jeanette vs McVea in Paris would be pretty cool, debunk a few myths on the way and all that

 

Me too. John Mugabi fought Brian Grant on an undercard fight.

Remember when Tyson went tooling into the ring that night? And during that ring introduction he was snorting like a horse ready for that bell to ring? And then you looked over at Spinks and he was just doing what he usually did prefight. But you could taste it and sense it that Mike was going to flat out steamroll this guy and there wasn't a thing Spinks was going to do to stop it.

Kind of like that Mugabi fight. There wasn't anythiong Grant was going to do to prevent a guy like Mugabi going bombs away early. And you could tell pre-fight who was going to win that one too.

Going live to fights gives you those feelings and often, that is not captured on tv. But you can sure feel that electricity in the air when Mike Tyson was tooling down the isle and wanted this guy. It felt like if you put a lightbulb in your hand, it would have lit up from the static electricity charge in the air.

 

Was it all a fable?

--------
FOTC Frazier Ali will always be no.1

 

:goodGood one, Burt.

 

FOTC for me. I'm a native New Yorker. When the fight happened, I was in the 3rd grade, and even all of my young classmates were talking about it. The buzz was out of control, and it was one of the few times where the fight actually lived up to the hype.
