    So, I posted this on the classic forum, but I'm curious to see what the general forum has to say. If you had to make a 10 minute highlight reel of everything that made boxing such a great sport, what would you put in it?

    knock outs, blood, slowmo effect, drama music, overreacting lampley voice over during a ko, staredowns, and atg's from beginning till now.

    first part, the staredowns. second, the great entrances. third, the best exchanges in the business. fourth, the best KO/TKOs.

    Well, I agree with you. staredowns in the ring are better than during weigh ins.

    Sugar Ray Robinson

    Everyone in the world knows who Muhammad Ali is, but people don't give Sugar the recognition for being Ali's hero.

    I like the moment 2 minutes into the first round of the Foremann-Frazier I where Foremann knocks Joe Frazier down and commentator Howard Cosell yells out:

    Down Goes Frazier! Down Goes Frazier! Down Goes Frazier!

    Then there's Alis knockdown of Foremann. And Tyson stopping Michael Spinks. Lot's of great moments.

    I'd have to put some of Haggler/Hearns into the highlight reel, especially some of the first and third rounds. Man, that fight was absolutely ballistic even though it was short. I'd probably also include some of the FOTC with Frazier bobbing and weaving all of Ali's jabs and right hands. From more recent fights, yeah, some of the Mexican trio of Barrera, Morales, and Marquez has to be there, and I definitely some RJJ.

    Just put all of Gatti's fights on there. It never gets much better. Corrales dragging ass off of canvas twice to stop Castillo?
