    One day, your son/daughter sees you training and wants to get into boxing. Which 3 fights will you show him/her?

    For me:

    1) Roy Jones - James Toney for the beauty and style.

    2) Mike Tyson - Buster Douglas: when you feel like skipping training.

    3) Gatti - Ward for the brutal reality they may face later.

    One of them should be JMM-Diaz, which proves that skills trumps youth and power.

    Good call on JMM-Diaz and Hagler-Hearns/Sanchez-Lopez. I was thinking Sanchez-Nelson as well.

    MAB -EM 1 for pure ferocity

    SRL - Hearns 1

    Ali - Foreman for inspiration, you just absolutely have to admire Ali for winning this fight, an amazing athlete and man.

    As much as I love the wars (Hagler/Hearns or Coralles/Castillo for example) I'd want my sons to box cleverly and preserve thier health...

    Therefore I would show my boys,

    1) Calzaghe vs Lacy

    2) Leonard vs Hagler

    3) Holyfield vs Tyson 1

    Julius Francis - Roman Greenberg
    Chris Byrd - DaVarryl Williamson
    Wladimir Klitschko - Sultan Ibragimov

    Then hopefully they'll go get a cushy bank job instead ;)

    My son is only 5 and I can't remember the last fight he didn't watch with me. He's really into boxing hell he spedns half the day watching boxing clips on youtube.

    I'd take an aproach something like this if he hadn't seen the fights though.

    Gatti vs Gamache
    Gatti vs Ward
    Gatti vs Mayweather

    This would show him how one fighter can look completly different depending on who is he paired up with and how he should never take an opponent lightly. ALso that the best way to do it is to hit and not get hit.

    Although the Lopez fight was good too.
