    Name yours.
    For me its Rumble in the Jungle. Foreman V Ali. The build up, the doubt, the apparently one sided brutality, the surprise k.o, the eruption.
    Ali is my living hero so obvious choice for me.

    His pre-fight speech still gives me shivers;

    From recent fights I thought Berto Ortiz was a topper and have watched it over many times.

    The War.

    My favourite Ali performances were against Sonny Liston and Cleveland Williams.

    In modern times, I was actually really gripped by the British fight that had John Murray and Kevin Mitchell. Kevin looked like a ****ing beast in that fight.

    Unquestionably, Ward vs Gatti trilogy.

    By division from LWW up though

    HW: Tua vs Ibeabuchi
    CW: Holyfield vs Qawi 1
    LHW: Jones Jr vs Griffin 2 (more for the laughable outcome) but Adamek vs Briggs was a barn burner
    SMW: Calzaghe vs Lacy
    MW: Hagler vs Leonard
    LMW: Duran vs Hearns (I hated Duran)
    WW: Sugar Ray Leonard vs Hearns
    LWW: Arturo Gatti vs Ward (1 2 or 3)
