    "The KLIT vs. the PETER- Which One Gets LICKED?"

    Not an ACTUAL Promotional Title for the Wladimir Klitschko vs. Samuel Peter Fight, but it SHOULD have Been...

    I quite liked the word play for

    Lewis
    Tyson

    The worst ever has to be "Who R U picking?" for Mayweather-Mosley. That was fucking awful

    I liked the Lewis-Tyson. Id just turned 18 and though Im not a gambler, that fight was my first ever bet.

    "Who R U Picking?" What is that!? Thats not even anything.

    I know. Just dont see how it applies to the bout.

    What about, "The Great Gatti?" Or The Great Katsy? Or Dempsey?

    I quite liked ''The Dream Match'' Pacquiao - DLH.

    The LEWIS vs TYSON one is good.

    Tyson - Golota was good. ''Showdown in Motown''

    Not a chance. Put every penny I had on Lewis. It was a sure thing.

    As a young, impressionable boxing fan I liked "Bad Blood" for De La Hoya/Vargas. Not much in terms of originality, but it'll always be a personal favourite.

    I know man, it was atrocious, with the txt speak as well. Euurgh. If anyone suggested "Who R U picking?" as a promotional title I'd just reply with U R Fired

    "Holyfield vs Tyson" (1991)

    Best one. It didn't even need a silly slogan. That was all you needed in a promotion. Tyson the people's champion coming back to form after a shock defeat and Evander the new undisputed undefeated Heavyweight champion. Every man woman and child wanted to see that fight.

    I often liked ones that used the location in the title such as "The Brawl in Montreal" & "The Thrilla in Manilla"

    How about on The Simpsons, where Drederick Tatum takes a fight against a horse into international waters, where no laws apply?

    "Slaughter In The Water," :lol:

    I think it wasnt shown, just someone pulled out the poster to show Homer what you could get away with out there. It was Tatum and a horse, gloved up and eyeballing each other something fierce :lol:

    "Two Big" I think was the slogan for Lewis-Grant. Something like that anyway. T'was pretty good.

    Oh man, that makes me wanna fucking strangle whoever came up with the "concept" and whoever green lighted it. Utter retards, and easily the worst promotional slogan in boxing history.

    The title should be:

    "Pound for Pound" or "Immortality beckons"

    I'm pretty sure the first one was done. Second one is not bad, but needs "tweaking".

    Don King had one for a Gerard McClellan fight, it was basically Gerald McClellan vs Nobody, and Don King entitled it "Global Warfare" :scratcher:
