    The Thrilla in Manilla is a good candidate for me.

    Hagler-Hearns for me. Second place is Ali-Frazier 1. Third place is Holyfield-Tyson 1. Fourth place is Hopkins-Trinidad. Fifth place is Sweet Pea-JCC.

    Hagler-Hearns would be a good one for me also. Only problem is it was over too quickly. Ali-Frazier I, of course. The Thrilla I would've liked just a tad more, though.

    After that, I'd say Duran-Leonard I, Leonard-Hearns I..... and since you mentioned Tito I'll go the other way and say I would've killed to be in Trinidad-Vargas.

    Maybe Harry Greb w.15 Gene Tunney at Madison Square garden. Hey no one has ever seen him fight, might as well see him lay a purported beating on the future hvy weight champ.

    That was the first to cross my mind, but I settled on Greb vs Mickey Walker.

    Ali Foreman. Ali Frazier One was the biggest heavyweight event of that era but Ali beating Foreman in an exotic location edges it for me.

    Any fight that took place in Germany in the mid 1930s, so I could kill that Hitler character. Early 80s would be good too, Id invest in Microsoft.

    In that case Tyson v Douglas to lay that 40-1 bet.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Another great one left only to benefit fans through reporter and historian accounts of the time. It's a shame really, what we take for granted as far as fight availability. We're spoiled . I read a few years ago there was known to be a reel set of this one. Have to imagine someone somewhere was sitting on random footage of Greb in action, though anything now has to be of quality so badly degraded it's unrecognizable. If it hasn't dissolved completely. By all accounts Greb v Walker was an all time classic.

    My thoughts went to Greb too.

    One of the few virtually unknown that has always ranked one of the best. I remember when I first came on here and Mick having a go every time I brought Greb up . 'only believe what we can see with our own eyes'..hey maybe we didn't land on the moon after all
