What are your favorite fights of all time? Name a fight you have seen after the event and one you saw live.
Past:
Ali - Foreman, Hagler - Hearns
Live
Gatti - Ward, Benn - McClelland, Lewis - Ruddock
Tough but name the fights that stick in your mind. The fights I chose for the past are for obvious reasons. I chose Gatti-Ward because I have never seen anything so brutal before or since. Benn-McClelland because of the turn around and because McClelland was giving it big time. Lewis-Ruddock because its the only fight I ever thought Lewis may lose and the way Ruddock was mouthing off beforehand made the KO all the better!
They were from the eighties, Lopez Ayala might have been seventy nine. I know everyone has their favorite era for boxing, but give me the eighties and you can have all of the other decades.
