Please friends, I would like your honest opinion: A friend of mine (I know, I know, u always say 'a friend of mine' as referring to yourself, believe me, this is not the case) starts to show interest for boxing (thanks to my guidance), I feel this is the moment to let him watch some quality stuff about boxing history. What 10 famous fights would you show him, just to get started and have a wide, catchy view of boxing?
Trinidad-Vargas Chavez-Taylor Chavez-Camacho Whitaker-Mcgert 1 Corrales-Castillo Mayweather-Castillo1 Cotto-Margarito Cotto-Judah Williams-Margarito

Tua/Ibeabuchi on youtube, and if he doesn't want to see more after this, he is just not destined to be a boxing fan.
I dont know... cause my old neighbor was like that. I was on the fight team and had boxing every other day, and he noticed and started comeing and watching it and thought it was the coolest thing ever. He even ended up buying a 6 month membership in full to my gym. Then when he sparred for the first time, its was against me, and I threw a hard body shot and caught him right on the hip bone. He stopped the sparring round, and boxing for the night and he never came back... still had like 5 months left...
1. Tyson-Douglas....an absolute clinic. 2. Whitaker-McGirt....2 masters of the Science 3. Money-Zab.....now it starts getting interesting, with the craziness. BUT still Floyd eventually adapted and took over and was somehow FASTER than Judah. 4. Moorer-Foreman. Watch a clinic put on by Moorer, and a wiley old Veteran and his tricks. 5. Bowe-Holyfield I. See a WAR with 2 technicians. 6. The Fight of the Century. Watch 2 Warriors fight for the Championsip of Each other, with the Earth stopping to see. 7. Jermain "Drain the Main Vein" Taylor vs. Hopkins I and II. These 2 decisions bring joy to my heart. 8. Joe Calzaghe-Hopkins. Watch the Old man get his ass schooled. 9. Holmes-Cooney. See what the jab is all about. 10. Toney-Jirov. Watch a master at work.
