I'll start. Benn - McClellan.

I think that will win, but some crackers if your talking non domestic aswell.

One of my favourite ITV events.

Holyfield vs Bowe II. Wish I had this bill on tape.

Aaron Pryor v Arguello 1 - absolute classic, and a first round that matched Hagler/Hearns.

Hagler -v- Hearns was on ITV; that's my favourite.

Great fight, and up there with any mentioned here. However, I do find it a touch overated. I remember as a kid watching never being in doubt who would win, and still think that way about the fight watching it now.

Its an all time great, but not up there with Barrera vs Morales 1, Corrales vs Castillo 1 and a few others.

Chavez vs Rosario was another ITV classic.

Way back when, ITV showed the Chavez/Rosario fight which is one of my favourites.

They also showed the Haugen/Paz fights which I still have. haugen does not seem to get mentioned much these days, but was one of my all time favourite fighters.

Interesting to see he stopped Freddy Roach in one of his early fights

Graham V Jackson 1990 and Eubank V Benn the previous week would take some beating.
