    Hatton v Tszyu for me purely because it was the first 'big' fight I went to watch live.

    Reynolds was a top amateur wasn't he, shame he didn't turn pro much earlier.

    Hard to say in terms of atmosphere no contest Hatton vs Tszyu. In terms of all out war i think of Appelby vs Walsh and Macklin vs Moore. Performance wise for me Calzaghe vs Lacey, Lacey came over as the favorite, to see Calzaghe put on such a punch perfect performance and shut the critics up was beautiful. If i had to pick one i'd go for Hatton Tszyu, the quality of the fight mixed with the atmosphere mixed with the fact that most thought Hatton would loose made it so special.

    Minter v Hagler great fight ruined by the crowd but followed Hagler since that day he was in the last chance saloon in many ways as a fighter people forget that.Lose & he would of been frozen out yet again especially after Antuofermo.

    Benn v Gerald Mc sad ending but a fight of such intensity that would be hard to match real edge of the seat action.
