    If you had the chance to be transported back to any fight since the days of John L, and be at ringside, which one would you choose ?

    Ali/Liston I; mainly because none of the kids on the school bus or play ground believed that my boy was gonna whip Liston's ass.

    I would have loved to be ringside at Tyson/Douglas, I could haev watched the fight on free to air here down under, but I thought it would be another blow out and went out and didn't even tape it, boy did I kick myself. Dempsey Willard would haev been another good one though.

    Ali vs Frazier I

    close seconds would be Louis - Schmeling II and Jefferies-Johnson

    The Thrilla in Manilla, what an event as well as a fight that would have been to watch and be at.

    Not too many were expecting that.

    All things come to an end.

    Some with a whimper, and some with a bang !

    Hagler vs Hearns. Great fight, plus Vegas during the mid 1980's had to be one hell of a scene.

    Lloyd Marshall vs Archie Moore 1, both very talented and had a similar style Archie got dropped three times in this fight yet won the decision. Plus footage of Marhsall is rare so to see him live would be awesome.

    Greb Walker or Greb Tunney.

    Might even decide to want to see Sullivan himself fight in his heyday.
