    Which fight would you want to watch from ringside? No fantasy matchups just pick one of the fights that actually did take place.

    So many recent gems (Toney-Oquendo, Klitschko-Ibragimov, Byrd-Williamson) to choose from, it made sense to just settle instead for an old HW favorite

    No, I'd like to see a drawn fight happening right before my eyes. It must be something really spectacular

    One of the Greb-Tunney affairs.

    In truth, anything involving Greb.

    I went with Greb-Walker. Greb-Tunney is a great choice too.

    Of course they wouldn't have had the atmosphere of "The Fight of The Century". (and probably nowhere near as good as a fight)

    I still pick one of Greb's big matchups simply because i've never seen him fight.

    That's the issue for me. A fighter with a record like his, arguably the best anyone ever put together, supercedes even the biggest event I have already witnessed on film.

    This is like going back in time to see a Tyrannosaurus --- &, indeed, that's just what Greb was. An absolute monster. A terrific, brutal, apex predator of the ring. I couldn't miss it.

    It's also possible he's vastly overrated and got away murder using dirty tactics.

    Either way i'd want to see it first hand.
