Your personal Favorite Fight of All Time, and why

[RozzySean]

Honestly I have no idea, been trying to think of it and I find I can't just choose one. Some fights that I don't think get enough credit: Chacon-Limon 4, Ward-Burton, Toney-Jirov, and another one that I've totally forgotten. There are a whole lot of other ones.

So basically I'm giving a non-answer.

Ward/Burton-Augustus is my #1,

Honorable mention to Duran/Leonard 1, Hagler/Mugabi, and Toney/Jirov.

Barrera vs Morales 1

The poor decision cant take away what a great contest it was. Ive seen the fight over and over again cuz of the sheer quality

What made it so great was teh passion both guys showed in there. Alot of fighters know when theyre beat but these two didnt, they just kept going fighting through the pain. Barrera seemed to have the edge defensivley and the faster, more powerful hands but Morales would never allow himself to be dominated and fought fire with fire.

Just when you thought 1 guy was finally wilting, back he'd come with an assult of his own and there were many times I thought Morales was out on his feet which he was honourable enough to admit aftewards but he somehow managed to hang in there . I thought he'd never be the same again and it did take him a while to find his form after that brawl.

Barrera went on to greatness and scored 2 wins against Morales but it was the 1st fight which was the classic for me.

Well this is going to sound horrible but here it goes....


I had a sparring session vs this guy at my gym. He was a former golden gloves winner....I totally owned him landing like 30 jabs in a round not to mention the numerous right crosses and left hooks I landed to boot.

Anyway it was one of my better sparring sessions and it had to be stopped early because I beat the crap out of him but that wasn't the best part....

A few days later I learned that this guy had murdered his step father with a knife and he's now in prison. He was also like addicted to crack and had mental issues like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder or something which ain't great either




So I basically whipped the crap out of a insane murderer....it makes you feel a little bit tougher after knowing that

WoW this is a tough one I have a few that all rank the same but for a few different reasons...Just to name a couple in no particular order...

Hagler/Hearns...I am a HUGE Hearns fan and Hagler fan as well...Tommy was stepping up to try and claim another world title in a new weight class and Hagler was tough as nails seemingly unbeatable at the time (and this was a time where even the second tier fighters were top notch EG Mugabi,)...It was a bout we all knoew before it started it could end with 1 shot either way...It lived up to it's hype and more...the 3 most exciting rounds of all time IMO

Arguello/Pryor 1....Alexis was so good and soo loved...Pryor so mean and loved to fight!!...Was he going to be proven nothing more then a brawler and have some respect beaten into him by Arguello or was he going to break the thin man and establish himself as the most feared man in boxing under 160lbs...again it lived up to it's hype..action, heartbreak..skill, agressiveness...you name it this fight had it

Leonard/Hearns 1...No need to explain this one

I can name a bunch but I would be here all day

Without a doubt, Felix "Tito" Trinidad is my favorite fighter of all time. There has been no one who has ever thrilled me like Tito, a man who took on all comers (unlike Oscar), ducked no one, and usually gave fans what they wanted-a KO. And though Trinidad has hung on too long and didn't do too well in the middleweight division, he has to be commended for challenging the big boys. Personally, though I think Tito should retire, I would rather pay 49.99 to watch him give it his all than someone like de la Hoya, who doesn't. I feel Tito's motivations in the ring have to do with more than just money.

Good post, bro. When people are sizing up Tito's career and comparing with others, they sometimes overlook the fact that Tito is one of the very few fighters that went up a weight division and immediately took on a champion at that weight, like Tito did when he fought Joppy. Although the Tito-Vargas fight was my all time favorite, I was actually more amazed at the outcome of the Joppy fight.

One of my favorite fights eva would have 2 be Mayorga vs Trinidad
I liked it because Mayorga never gave up and he never tried to defend himself either plus im a fan of Felix who I was for to win the match witch he did but Mayorga surprised me in this fight

[KingMelo15]

Felix owned mayorga big time in that fight big time

For some reason that line made me laugh.

So many to pick from. Fights I like to watch often are Calzaghe-mitchell for the drama, also the Thrilla in Manilla for the sheer determination of Joe Frazier when things weren't going his way.

[porkypara]

Coz of the crazey build up and the fighters involved I would say Lewis-Tyson was the most excited I have ever been for a fight.

People forget that before the fight a lot of so called experts thought Tyson was going to win.

Also remember the line of security guards across the ring before the start.



The fight it self was not that good but it was an amazing event.

My first santioned amateur fight will always be my favorite fight of all time. I went in scared shitless, thought I was total crap at boxing, was in grade 7 and was fighting' a dude 3 years older in grade 10 and 10 lbs heavier. Fought him in his hometown and got boo'd by 1000 people in a casino as I entered the ring which didn't exactly help my confidence. Then proceeded to punch the absolute snot out of him from the second the bell rang...

Never got hit once and realized right there that maybe i didn't suck, and that boxing was purdy freakin' cool!

I couldn't tell you how many times I have watched Ward/Augustus. One of my faves.

There are so many though; but I gotta say a couple more would be Pavlik/Taylor I and Marquez/Vasquez III.

Will, determination, heart and great back and forth; all ingredients to the 3 fights above.

Too be honest I enjoyed a lot of Augustas bouts...He had a hell of a decent bout with PBF before being stopped and I loved the second Burton bout when he taught Courtney a lesson

Ali/Foreman,for all the obvious reasons
Hopkins/Trinidad,a guy with a reputation as a brawler delivers a clinic on boxing on somebody who is supposed to be unbeatable
