    Default what is the greatest fight you have seen ?

    I was thinking what fight made you a fan. I always got to see boxing along with my father, the only problem was I wanted too see the fights LIVE on television and most of them was like 3-4 AM so I often feel asleep .

    Since Mogens Palle was the only promotor in denmark the bums he got over didn´t exite me so I looked to US where the boxingscene was great.

    Anyway I thought MikeTyson was a beast in his prime, didn´t like the guy that much but love the fights anyway, and the drama that goes with great KO´s.

    For me the night in 1990 thats nearly 19 years ago where I was 14 years old and Mike Tyson and Buster Douglas fought one to remember. For this fight I was at an age where I was able to keep awake for the fight, eventhough it that was on early in the morning. And I taped it for my friends.

    The fight had it all, the knock down where you could argue Douglas didn´t beat the count, and the great KO in the 10th round, where the underdog took Tyson to school. I watched the KO over and over again, to be sure it was really night for the prime beef Tyson nah .

    Still wonder what really happened to Tyson since he clearly underestimated Douglas that night.

    Which fight is your favorite and why ?

    Yeah Douglas was awesome that night vs Tyson. If not the best fight ever, then probably the most memorable. Stunning.

    Anyways, for my best I pick Leonard Hearns I. For drama, intensity, ebb and flow. I was never a huge fan a Leonard, thought he was a media darling, but I had to give him credit that night, this was when I knew Leonard was one of the greatest, the way he raised his game when he really needed to.

    And an honorable mention for a more obscure fight, Cornelius Boza Edwards vs Rafael Bazooka Limon. 15 rounds of boxer vs brawler action, great contrast of styles.

    Great fights here. One of the best HW fights I ever saw was Holyfield vs. Dokes, what a war!

    I have to say imo the greatest fight (fights) I have ever have to be the Gatti/Ward trio....Not the biggest names and not the best fighters but you will never see more heart. more give and take, more of an ability to go at it then the 3 nights these guys did.....

    I think it would have killed most fighters....These bouts were beyond fantastic..
