Your personal Favorite Fight of All Time, and why

[GAME]

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



True story

Nice 1

I once had a fight with a guy who I knew then afew years later I found out that he commited suicide after murdering someone cuz he didnt wana go back to prison . Glad I lost contact with him now.

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.

Th punch that he hit Joppy with sounded like he hit him with a bomb, power! Nearly decapitated the poor guy. I was so sure he was going to beat Hopkins.

TitoFan, both of those fights had my friends and jumping up and down in my apartment too. And when Vargas Knocked down Tito in the fourth round, you could hear the Mexicans below me cheering. I didn't think Vargas was being intimidating during the stare down and the water thing. In fact, I think he was very, very nervous/scared!! Tito said something to Vargas during that moment, but I could never decipher it because Tito had his mouth piece in. When Tito walked through Joppy, that was impressive. I think Tito had excellent power at 160. The only problem was that everyone had great power too and many, like Hopkins, could take Tito's power and give it too.

BUMP



Charlie Zelenoff - Andrew Hartley


Greatest fight ever!!!!

[killersheep]

Arguello Pryor I

My opinion could be different tomorrow, such an amazing history this sport has.

[Beanflicker]

I am going to go with the one that makes me smile biggest.


Ron Lyle vs George Foreman


For 5 rounds this was about all you could ask for from two giant heavyweights swinging cudgels.

All pretense of any defense was gone by round 3 and you basically watched two brutish sluggers take turns clocking each other.

In the final minute the fight could have gone either way, with both having dropped the other and just landing some terribly violent shots. I mean it was a gutter war and nothing at all was even close to pretty or resembled anything you might call technique.

At the close, it was Big George who pounded Lyle from underneath three devestating upperuts in rapid succession and Lyle just collapsed face first.

I watch that fight all the time and just giggle at the sheer brutality of it.

Cosell's commentary was classic

"ARGGGHH NOW GEORGE STRUCK BACK!! GEORGE STUCK BACK!!"

"This isn't artistic, but IT IS SLUGGING!!!"

"This is wholly without boxing skill!"

Barrera Morales 1

Seen it about 100 times and still I have my trap wide open when I watch it. Amazing fight

[KingMelo15]

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.
