< The BEST Boxing Event/Card Ever?

[CutMeMick]

I was watching some fights last night and started thinking what is the best boxing event/card ever put together. I guess you can poast why YOU think it's the best card put together. Wether it's because of the quality of the fighters or because of the great fights they turned out to be. Or whatever reason you may have. I quickly started going through magazines and books and I dug up some fights that were held on the same card and came up with these.

Funny you post this card, I was tempted to post it also but then thought nah! If I post it people will just say I'm being biased towards JCC.
But thanks for posting it, cause it sure as hell is a great card.
I mean 4 rematches in 1 event all 4 coming off from some insane 1st matches and you got 'Finito' & 'The Kid'.

[CutMeMick]

And say what you will about Don, hes a thief, hes this and that.
But 1st hes a business man and sadly but true all sports are nad have always been about money/business.

Anyway! Don has put THEE best cards together, 5 out of 6 posted here are DK cards.

When you said Best Cards, it was the first one that popped into my head cuz of the rematches.

Ivan Calderon vs. Hugo Cazares II
Luis Collazo vs. Joshua Clottey

...hence why I plan on going!

From the Don King promotions we also have to thank Tyson for being in jail at the time. I am sure that was a factor for Don at the time.

The best thing I've ever seen is Judgment night.

Sky put together 2 cards, one from Fran Warren and one from Don King and aired them one after the other as Judgment night part I and part II.

this was the card...

Judgement Night Part I, 9th November, 1996

Steve Collins vs. Nigel Benn (WBO Super-Middleweight Title)
Winky Wright vs. Ensley Bingham (WBC Light-Middleweight Title)
Naseem Hamed vs. Remegio Daniel Molina (WBO Featherweight Title)
Danny Williams, Carl Thompson, Herbie Hide & Michael Brodie all had undercard fights on this bill too)

Part II, MGM Grand, Las Vegas

Evander Holyfield vs. Mike Tyson (WBA Heavyweight Title)
Michael Moorer vs. Frans Botha (IBF Heavyweight Title)
Henry Akinwande vs. Alexander Zolkin (WBO Heavyweight Title)

Superb night's boxing. I can't remember another night were nearly all the Heavyweight titles were defended in one night.

CC#146 thanks for taking the time to respond.

That was the exact card I was going to post. Definitely the best yet imo. And yeah, the fact is that people hate Don King because he's a bit of a crook and a character. But the reason they knew his name was because of those freakin ridiculous super cards that would keep the public interested on a regular basis. If more people could be as successful as King was then boxing would be in a lot better shape.
