    Never mind. I just saw the thread. Boy deserved the ban. He was way out of line.

    Castillo - Corrales for me. Never have I seen two fighters go so hard shoulder to shoulder, just laying there and battling out. It was absolutely unbelievable I remember when I watched it. I watched on the Sunday after, I was looking forward to it but had went out that night and came home very late. The next afternoon I went downstairs and my dad asked me if I saw Corrales-Castillo, I said no and that was the end of it. I didn't think anything of it. I grab a watermelon and take it upstairs, flip on ondemand and put the fight on. Halfway through the fight and halfway through the watermelon, I was glued to the edge of my bed watching this battle unlike any I've ever seen.

    That is the best fight. Morales - Barrera an extremely close second. The night I watched Morales-Barrera was the night we got our computer, our first computer. I was in 4th grade or maybe 5th it's hard to remember. But that night I got into a boxing chat room on Yahoo with my dad who was using the internet for something other then email for the first time in his life. That kind of manifested into this if you really think about it because that was my personal boxing revival where I was shook to the core by a fight. I still remember that night great and to be honest don't even watch the fight all that much even though I have it because I like that original feeling of watching it.

    It is seemingly impossible for me to list just 1.

    But there are 2 fights that just stand out the most to me.

    JLC vs. Corrales I - Being ringside for this fight was one of the most amazing things my eyes have ever seen.

    Rafa vs. Izzy III - Being ringside for this fight was intense and just out of control.

    Those are 2 amazing fights I attended that's not even getting into fights I've only seen on television.

    Here are some fights I like to watch and that I re-visit often:
    'Locomotora' Castro vs. 'Action' Jackson I
    Barrios vs. Freitas
    Gatti vs. Ruelas
    'Smokin' Cooper vs. Moorer
    Zarate vs. Zamora
    Foster vs. Finnegan
    Basilio vs. Saxton II
    'Little Red' Lopez vs. Ayala
    Tua vs. Ike
    Rosario vs. Ramirez II
    Campas vs. Duddy
    Tapia vs. Ayala I
    'Posion' Jones vs. John M. Johnson II
    Johnson vs. Galindez
    Muhammad vs. Yaqui Lopez II
    Hamed vs. Kelly

    My knowledge of boxing history is minute, but I think my favorite will have to be Buster Douglas vs. Mike Tyson.

    Big upset there, had a 42 to 1 chance of winning, but somehow the fire was flowin' in him, and he became champ. (I hated how he lost the next fight though, I think Holyfield knocked him out the 1st round).

    ......Agree with ya on the first.But did you enjoy watching My Man Holyfield fall into that right hand face first & get KTKO ?JK bro but that fight basically 'retired' me from following boxing for a spell when it happened.I was actually in a fog...too much emotional investment Kept flashing back to the 5th(?) when Holy dropped Bowe......and could not follow up,I knew deep down he was done (In that one)....EDIT..not in career of course

    Yeah but I saw it as Holyfield fighting like a true warrior right till the bitter end. He went down like a man after dishing out major hurt. He lost the fight, but won the war. he basically ruined Bowe.

    Barrera versus Morales, the last fight I was at. It was boxing as it should be, apart from the result. The lighter weights throw more punches and can show more skill and over a twelve round fight they gave about as perfect an expression of the sport as you'll ever see.
