Best Fight You Ever Saw Live!
Mine would be Dynamite Billy Douglas (Buster's Dad) VS. Pedro Soto.
Re: Best Fight You Ever Saw Live!
It not even a sanctioned bout but two amateurs who did well as pros...
A sparring session between Colin McNeil and Kevin Anderson. Two excellent fighters going toe to toe for 5 or 6 rounds from about two foot away and plenty space to move around for angles. Absolutely rapid both of them, very very evenly matched.

Re: Best Fight You Ever Saw Live!
.....archie moore vs. oakland billy smith.....1948....cincinnati.i had seen some other fights, but i was intrigued by archie moore's style.
i was only in my teens then, but when ezzard charles fought jersey joe walcott for the vacant title, i knew my favorite fighter ezzard would win because i thought if he could beat archie three times he could beat anybody.

I don't know how many times I need to insist....fights 4,5,6 and 7, would not have gone Ezz's way.

Re: Best Fight You Ever Saw Live!
I had the pleasure of covering several of the major bouts from the late 80s through 2000 for a newspaper chain in Canada. Four that really stand out were Hagler-Hearns (the best sustained action I ever witnessed in person), Hagler-Leonard (I still think the Marvelous One won it), Tyson-Ruddock 1 and, especially, Moorer-Foreman. What I'll always remember about the latter was Big George's comment after the final press conference a couple of days before the fight: "I'll probably lose every round until I get the chance to land my punch ... but one chance and one punch is all I'm gonna need."
