Fights or ring entrances that got you choked up
It was in the Morales-Pac rematch where Pac walked into the ring with his song with everything on the line. I think it was because the stake was so high that this song was just perfect for that moment..

Philip N dou's entrance against Floyd. He walked out to Whitney HOuston's ' One moment in Time ' and shit was very emotional. Only if he had won, it would been like a movie ending..

B-Hop on the ropes after schooling Pavlik was an awesome moment, the way he stared down the reporters, announcers, and all the people who doubted him and completely ruled him out of the fight, complete badass

The Jones and Tito fight aka financial agreement should be erased from our memory. That was a farce, for both. To me nothing beat Nigel Benn coming to the ring! It was a feel they made you stand up and get ready to roll in the living room ;D Holyfield walking in with that half smirk and sneer. Right!

45 year old Big George Foreman going to his knees in the corner in prayer after knocking out a prime undefeated Michael Moorer in 1994, winning the lineal Heavyweight Title for a 2nd time, 20 years after losing it in 1974. Moorer was 35-0 (30 KOs) going into the fight.

If my memory serves me correct Trinidad won the Oscar fight but I could be wrong, Bhop and Rjj were far bigger than Tito, and Winky did the same thing to Mosley and Quartey and even gave Taylor hell and would have done the same to Oscar had he not declined the fight, its funny how Tito gets thrown under the bus for every loss and Oscar always has a get out of jail freecard.
The judges said so, but no way did he win it in my eyes. Oscar was mugged.

You can sugar coated it all you want but Moorer was a China chin, mentally weak and fortunate to be champ at the time. I hate him for losing that fight.

Vitali comeback fight against Peters with all the living champions encouraging him to win the title. That was great to see.

Totally agree. That was a real moment. Even at the end of the fight when he had Pavlik all over the place and nearly carried on after the bell. I wish B-Hop had knocked Jack Loew out. That was the one thing missing from his performance.
Re: Fights or ring entrances that got you choked up
Two fights I will never forget - Micahael Carruth v Juan Hernandez Sierra. I was only 5 but my dad was in tears after it.
Bernard Dunne v Ricardo Cordoba - was my fight of the year. Bernard showed he really was world class. Great day for Irish boxing.

I think he's saying he shouldnt have won against Oscar...and I tend to agree with that.
