    This thread would have worked great in classic but here it´s a waste of time, sadly.

    My answer on the general forum would be Valuev VS Holyfield and Holyfield VS Qawi. ...Sadly, it'd be the same answer on classic.

    damn, you're right. I didn't think of it that way. I was thinking more chronologically I suppose.

    So I guess Morales, Barrera and Pac all benefited from this.

    Trinidad vs Vargas
    Hopkins vs Trinidad

    I'd have to show a novice a Hopkins fight because he's just such a well rounded fighter, something that anyone who wants to start boxing must appreciate. I sometimes worry at the gym that guys who want to replicate Tyson, Pacquaio, Mayweather etc don't realise just how athletically incredible they are.

    Yep. The Johnson fight was Hopkins masterpiece IMO. Not his greatest or best win but his best performance.
