    Actually ICE, I just re-read the initial post and can't determine in which way he meant it.

    Barrera Morales 1

    I was totally buzzing watching them both go to war, it's my favourite fight by far.

    I can't pick a single fight for fights that I've seen. I can tell you that I became a boxing fan from watching replays on weekend afternoons on network television. Fights like Hagler/Antuefermo, Leornard/Duran 1 & 2, numerous Larry Holmes fights, Ray Mancini, Arguello, Benitez., Hearns. Even Tyson fights made it to network TV at that time.

    I didn't watch fights live until the Tyson era. I didn't live with my Dad so I couldn't order PPV and nobody in my house would watch HBO fights live. I could pick them up on replays. When I got older, I would go to my dad's and watch fights at his house. I think the first PPV fight I saw was Tyson/Ruddock 1 with my Dad, but The first GREAT fight I saw live, on PPV, was Holyfield/Bowe.

    I remember my dad thinking at first that Bowe hadn't done enough to 'take' the title and I told him that he was crazy, Evander won clearly. Then he saw Evander's face in the post fight interview and changed his mind. He didn't know how to score a fight

    Live on TV - off the Top of my head I'd say Nigel Benn vs Gerald McClellan as that was a War.

    I watched both Fidel Bassa vs Dave McCauley when I was younger and they were awesome fights (should be getting a d/l of them soon from Herb)
    McGuigans defense against Danilo Cabrera was an exciting fight from memory but another I need to see again.

    Non Live there have been many - Ron Lyle vs George Foreman sticks out.

    As a youngster living in london, england apart from the superfights we never got american fights at all.

    The only time boxing would come on is if it was a domestic card.

    I genuinely recollect half the family around my rich aunts as a youngster all going crazy for the nigel benn-chris eubank fights and that was pretty much what hooked me and many of the youth growing up in early 90s britain onto boxing.

    The love for benn was only matched for the hatred people felt towards eubank and it was great entertainment for a young lad who had never really paid any attention to the sport.
