    So I got one of my peace loving friends to agree to watch ONE FIGHT.
    It's gotta be a convincing one.... one that shows the heart, the skill, the guts that we have come to love from boxing....
    Anyone have any suggestions??
    I was thinking Coralles Castillo.....
    or Gatti Ward.......

    ONLY ONE FIGHT..... Help me pick one guys, we have a chance to win one back!

    Gatti-Ward would be an excellent choice. It'll get him intrigued enough for him to want to know what happened next and this leads on to the entrance into the world of boxing.

    DO NOT show him Miguel Vazquez, Devon Alexander or any of those boring cyclists. They're the reason the sport is dying.

    Watch Manny Pacquiao vs Erik Morales 1 or Pacquiao vs Marquez 1

    I like watching a young prime Pacquiao.

    Chico-JLC is Gatti-Ward at a higher level... better choice

    If you show him the most exciting fight, then he will have that expectation all the time. You got to show him a mid-exciting fight and if that draws him then great.

    It should be something recent and relevant otherwise what's the point?

    Pac-Hatton and Pac-Morales III are good action packed fights that end early and aren't too demanding of casual attention spans

    also Pac-Marquez IV

    Someone new to boxing probably won't appreciate a full fight. Casuals :-(
