    I loved Joshua v Wladmir - One the greatest HW fights ever IMO

    But Povetkin vs Joshua also made me enjoy it more.

    I was 8 when Tyson bit Holyfield. First card I ever watched. Thought it happened every weekend.

    Well, my earliest boxing memory is Kirkland Laing beating Roberto Duran, that was 1982 so I was a very little N17.

    Laing was one skilled fighter and any fight involving Roberto Duran deserves an honorable mention, Duran and Hearns are my all time favs

    Holmes’ jab was a thing of natural beauty crafted by the boxing Gods themselves. Lennox had a mean jab as well but Holmes’ was on another level

    For me it was the whole UK super middleweight scene with Eubank Benn and Collins in the 90s

    Live on ITV it felt like everyone was watching them at the time
