Your personal Favorite Fight of All Time, and why

[TitoFan]

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.

Arguello Pryor I

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

This was a classic, beautiful fight. Arguello, the proud champion from Nicaragua, was probably favored to beat Pryor with his power. But Pryor showed what he was made of, by taking all of Arguello's power shots, and landing his own. And what a punch output! Pryor was like a punching machine, throwing non-stop with both hands. Once during the middle rounds, Arguello hit him with the most beautiful right hand, and Pryor should've gone down. But he stopped in his tracks, paused, and shook it off. I think he basically won the fight right there. From there on out it was a matter of time. To me it was sad seeing Arguello KO'd against the ropes and slumping down in a heap. But what a warrior, and what a war that was.

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!"
