If you could be at any boxing event in history, which fight would you select?

[Master]

Ringside at either Ali/Foreman or Ali/Liston.

Ali v Liston would be my 3rd choice.

Would not mind being there when Jack Johnson beat up Jeffries provided i would not get killed.

[THE THIRD MAN]

Ali V Frazier 1 (MSG 1971)
Rumble in the Jungle
Thriller in Manila
Leonard v Duran 1
Hagler V Hearns

[Beanz]

Randy Turpin v Sugar Ray Robinson. 1951. What an upset. Earls Court.

Frazier v Ali 1. Joe at his best.

Cooper v Ali. Its London its 1963.

Hatton v Tszyu.

Leonard v Hearns. Ceasars Palace.

Sam McVey v Joe Jeannette - Paris 1909

49 round war and regarded as the best and most brutal fight in history.
They used balloons filled with oxygen to revive the fighters between rounds after dragging them back to their stools.

Monzon vs Valdez 2. King Carlos was the greatest fighter of my 64 years of living.

A young Duran vs Buchanan

Any of the later fights of Jack Johnson, crowds were massive

[ykdadamaja]

Thought about it for a while and I have to say Holmes v Cooney. Just to see how the crowd and hype turned them into savage mobs. Had to be a great telling point in American history! Race, culture, class and society all mashed up in one fight.

[p4pking]

Guess Ill have to pick rumble in the jungle, so I could find and mutilate the retard that just posted.

I pray for the day P4gay comes at me, I’ll even give him two free shots before I rip his head off and shove it up his yippykayoyayee

[Slim the BoxingManiac]

Gotta agree with the Greb vs Tunney or the Sullivan vs Corbett sentiment. I would definitely have to choose a fight that never made it to film.


Sullivan vs Kilrain deserves a mention.

Roberto Duran and Esteban DeJesus 2

The main reason that I liked this fight after Duran lost a nontitle fight to DeJesus is that Duran the champ did not duck him and the challenger was one of the most skillfull lightweights of the Duran era. He knocked Duran down in the first round in both fights. Besides a punch to match the champ he had skills that made him the victor in the previous fight. Duran was not only in excellent shape but he evolved and showed skills. He out boxed and later outpunched DeJesus displaying movement and skill and speed along with giving a boxing clinic to the challenger. It was electric that day in Panama Duran by KO and there was two knockdowns scored by him.

Watched that fight on ESPN and Duran was just perpetual motion and on fire. Absolute vicious fighter who wanted to destroy DeJesus. Really good fight.

John L. Sullivan vs Jake Kilrain. Last world title bout under London Prize Ring Rules, 75 out of 80 rounds and The Great John L. actually vomited after the 44th round
