What Fight Was The Most Eagerly Anticipated of Your Time as a Boxing Fan (?)

easily ali tyson, but it was a pipedream, ali was shot beyond hope by 1986.

 

Mayweather vs Pacquiao

 

Benn Vs Eubank, Tyson Vs Lewis and ofcourse Floyd Vs Manny. Those are the one that jump out straight away for me.

 

Ali v Frazier 1. The implications of that fight went way beyond boxing. One segment of the population was overjoyed that Ali lost while another segment were shattered. Next to the Louis/Schmeling and the Jack Johnson fights, probably the most politically significant fight of all time.

 

Money vs Pacman

 

These fights because they were trying to make history.
Pryor vs Arguello - At that time winning 4 world titles was liking trying to break 4 min mile.
Tyson vs Berbick - Tyson trying to become youngest hw champion ever.
Jones vs Ruiz - Jones trying to become first mw in over 100 years to win the hw title.
