BoxRec

-Copy and paste the list below

-For each weight pick a boxer from your lifetime that you have had the pleasure of watching box. So for example if you were born in 1990 you can't pick Jake LaMotta or Muhammed Ali.

-The boxer doesn't have to be or have been the best in the division nor does he have to be a World Champ. Think of the boxer who made the hair stand up on the back of your neck, the boxer you gave a standing ovation too, the boxer who showed courage and bravery beyond belief that it brought a tear to your eye [getting romantic now], the boxer you admired for being a big hitter or a defensive genius etc etc.

-you may include the light flyweight and strawweight divisions if you want.

-then pick the best fight you have ever seen in your lifetime

i was kind of more asking for fighters you have seen fighting live or next day coverage etc but if he fought in your lifetime[last fight in 1990] and if you have seen SIX or more of his fights on dvd you can count him in on your list.
