    Tough to say. Probably Saad-Lopez II or Chacon-Limon IV, just because they are such majestic things that transcend boxing. In these fights, it breaks down to a serious test of the will of a man, and that's what I like watching.

    Tua-Ruiz is up there.

    If I have a few minutes to waste I'll watch it ten times.

    For me;

    In no particular order:

    Hamed-Barrera:I became Marco's lifetime fan after this one.Talk about a schooling.Maybe it's because I hated that ***** Hamed that much..

    Ali-Liston1:Never tire of this one.This was peak Ali looking unbelievably fast.I've always said,I battle to think of any other heavyweight that could caught with this version of Ali.Sheer brilliance...He hands looked faster than most MWs.Classic.

    SRR-Lamota5:The Sugarman,putting on a masterclass.I've yet to see a cat rattle off 7-8 shots...all of them landing flush...while moving.Lamotta got busted on this one...A master at work.Watch it all the time.

    Hopkins-Trinidad:Still can't believe how BHop schooled my boy Tito here.I keep watching just to see if Tito could have done anything different to turn the tide..And everytime,I can't find nothing...Bhop's finest hour.

    N'dou-Baloyi:Two South African gladiators locking horns for all the marbles.This was the last vintage Phillip fight IMO...The way the battlle see-sawed back and forth still gives me goose pumps up to this day....Baloyi got seriously busted in this one...He had his moments,but N'dou had the harder and faster shots...I always marvel at how he changes strategy towards the ned and boxes off his toes..This is the N'dou that should have fought Floyd...Could have been interesting...This kid had a hard right hand.


    There's many more that I watch on the regular.I'll holla later.

    Honestly: Warring/Pritchard;)

    I do not see the thing in watching fights time after time; highlights maybe, but not normally the whole fight.

    As for Whitaker; anyone who has sat though a Whitaker fight more than twice, is either lying or just doing it to prove a point they believe they have to make.;)

    Whitaker was an amazing boxer and a great artist of our sport, I accept and appreciate that, but lets be honest: 99.999999999% want to see a blood guts brawl, and would rather watch 4 round novices fight if it is a good brawl rather than a Whitaker re-run...

    Lately I've been watching:

    Toney vs Jirov

    It's a great, often overlooked fight.

    Exact same as me, tho Im not sure which 1 Ive seen most.
    Morales & Ali are my 2 fav figjhters, Ali`s win was more convincing where as Erik`s was the better action fight.

    :good

    Not me, you speak for yourself there Booze.

    I would rather watch paint dry than two novices belting each other. You gain more from ring artistry from multiple viewings...
