    I've seen Cotto Mosley more than any other fight. What a great fight. Even when i watch it again i'm still hoping the fighters would do this or do that, even though i know they don't.

    The fights just offer something unique, that other fights don't. I've watched the first match between Hopkins and Taylor many times. It's great to me to see the old guy try to neutralize all the advantages over the younger, stronger, and faster undefeated challenger. the great footwork, the perfect timing, beautiful counters, the suspense, and just how close the fight was. blood baths are great for the barbarian side of man, but watching a physical chess match is sometimes very intriguiing.

    does anyone like to watch floyd-dela hoya over and over? considering it was dubbed as the fight that would save boxing?

    Which fight do you rewatch the most. For me it's Ward-Gatti any fight, Castillo-Coralles I. Hamed-Barrera? That is to name a very small percentage there.

    i have caught myself watching barrera exposing prince nazem hamed countless times

    its great to see a loud mouth joke of a boxer get a little to ahead of himself and let a great fighter take him down

    its also funny how barrera was a 4 to 1 underdog coming into the fight

    if i was old enough to put money on that night i would have been set for life

    I watch certain fights multiple times for a couple reasons. 1) Watching a favorite win takes a long time to get old. 2) There are a lot of fights that require multiple viewings if you want to pick up on all the little things that lead to a victory, or a defeat.
