    What boxing performances did you enjoy most in all your yrs of watching the sport ?

    It has to be a big fight, so no Ali v Williams etc. it has to be 2 elite fighters, one of those fights were both guys were the 2 best or 2 of the best in their weight class & the world awaited. A mega fight with big hype.

    Whats your all time top 5 favourite displays that you will always remember & love ?

    Mines are in order of when they took place.....


    Muhammad Ali KO8 George Foreman (1974)

    Muhammad Ali TKO14 Joe Frazier (1975)

    Sugar Ray Leonard W12 Marvin Hagler (1987)

    Erik Morales W12 Marco Antonio Barrera (2000)
