o/t Boxing - Best Fight you've ever seen?

[incredible_edibles]

As we're all still buzzing from Saturday night, what's your thoughts on this?

Fury v Joshua was a great fight for me because I was there which I think makes a difference but you're favourite fight (and we're not talking down Back Henry Street!)

When did Fury fight Joshua?
Am I missing something here?

2008 Laszlo Papp v George Aldridge was an absolute brutal battle

 

[King Billy]

Most recently I really enjoyed the Whyte v Parker match.

All time favourite has to be Hagler v Hearns. Involving British fighters, either of the Froch v Kessler fights were fantastic. Wars of attrition between two fighters, both of whom refused to take a step backwards. Also a mention for the Eubank v Benn fights

 

[RUSTY_2_STANDS]

Just to add, the first Fury v Wilder fight was great. This last one was good, but too one sided to be judged as a great fight. But I would call it a great performance by Fury

Ali v Fury.You can`t beat being there but unfortunately I missed that one.

Ward v Gatti knocked ten bells out of each other.

Ward v Gatti knocked ten bells out of each other.

Whyte Chisora were absolute wars. Both of them.

 

[NewburyOne]

Hatton vs Tszyu

In the heavyweight division, AJ vs Klitschko was excellent.

 

[Markobfc]

Rick Mottram against some other lad at Warbreck on the Wreck.... Brutal!

 

[ballysboots]

The Mexican lions Barrera and Morales trilogy were great fights.The first one in 2000 was ultimate and controversial.

Thrilla in Manilla and the other Frazier/Ali fight in New York are right up there as favourite bouts

 

[Hint-of-Orange]

Eusebio Pedroza vs Barry McGuigan really enjoyed that fight

 

[heapster]

"Amazing" Alex Arthur against Michael Gomez - brutal battle that Arthur never really recovered from

 

[GrahamwantshisOates]

Ali v Frazier or Foreman have to be up there

Never forget Christmas Eubank v Michael Watson fight.
Sorry ending for Watson

 

[TangerineSeasider]

Both the Eubank vs Benn battles were class.

But the one I’d have loved to have seen would have been if Ronnie Pickering got out of his car and started on that bloke on his motorbike

 

[SuperTonyEllis]

Ward V Gatti. It gets no better if you want a slug fest. Also Hagler v Hearns was a brutal brawl. Groves v Froch 1 was quality as was the second. Froch v Kessler also. Been so many down the years.

As for Fury's last fight it was pretty much a one sided beat down that Fury give Wilder, but one of the best performances I have seen from a Brit going over to America ever.

Ali v Foreman in Zaire. That good they made a film of it plus a Top 20 hit single.

 

[RUSTY_2_STANDS]

Just following on from Wizz's post above. One of the all time classics was the third Ali v Frazier fight, known as the 'Thriller in Manilla'. Frazier's trainer pulled him out of the fight at the end of the 14th round, with only a round left to go. Ali later admitted that Frazier had quit just before he did, as he had literally fought himself to a standstill and was suffering from severe exhaustion.

Any of the fights between Hearns, Duran, Haggler and Leonard.
