If you could be in the front row for one fight in the history of boxing

Which one would you pick and why?

 

Leonard-Hearns I

 

Duran-Leonard 1.

 

I see nobody can say fucking why... great

 

The fight was great. The fight was between the two best fighters of the last 50 years. And the crowd was one of the most electric crowds in history.

 

Who would you have been cheering for

 

Duran

 

Ali-Frazier 1 at the Garden.

 

Gomez vs Pintor because it was a damn hell of a war!

 

Lewis-Golota

 

Lol

 

FOTC

 

Plus, you get to see a couple of ATGs fight each other in the main event.

 

Benitez vs Hearns was a snoozefest.

 

Not gonna lie, Panch is right.

Hearns-Benitez was one of the most boring fights between ATGs.

 

I think Hearns right hand was hurt in that fight

 

Tyson-Douglas

 

NO YOU ONLY GET TO STAY FOR ONE FIGHT

 

Ali Vs Frazier

 

So was Duran Vs Hearns. Duran did all the snoozing .

 

Hagler-Hearns!

 

Taylor vs Serrano. That was better than Ali vs Frazier.

 

Why was Ali vs Frazier on a MONDAY NIGHT?

 

Because Sunday night was the weigh in

 

No it wasn't. That was early on Monday.. Same day weigh ins back then.

 

Tyson-Spinks was also a Monday night.

I think Tyson-Spinks was probably one of the last big fights to occur on a weekday.

I believe that Holy-Foreman really ushered in the era of big fights happening on Friday/Saturday nights.

So yes, ole Donny T himself possibly changed the course of boxing history.

 

Makes sense. I was playing in a baseball game at the time next to the closed circuit gym. The crowd came outside for a smoke break during ring walks. I was on 1st base and by the time I was singled to 3rd base the entire crowd was walking out of the gym visibly pissed. I'd love to share that story with Tyson one day.

 

Trinidad-Mayorga. That atmosphere that night must have been something special to take in live in person.

 

Tarver vs Jones 2

 

Saturday night does feel more better, could be confirmation bias on my behalf of course.
