Thought this was an interesting question. If you had to show someone who didnt like/watch boxing one fight to try and persuade them to be a fan what would it be? Would it be a modern day fight, a classic? What weight class would you choose and why? I think I would show them an Ali fight for sure, not sure which he had so many wars. Maybe Hearns vs Leonard, just because I like that fight alot personaly.

First off, I like your thinking. I believe Leonard-Hearns I would be excellent for a first-time viewing.

Personally, I would chose Frazier-Ali I. My reason for choosing that fight is because it represents all that is good about boxing. Two men with passion for the sport, who were unbeaten, and both with claims to the World Heavyweight Championship...having it out to see "quien es mas macho". Drama is what it's all about...two men wanting to prove to the entire world that they are the "baddest man on the planet", and neither taking no for an answer.

That, to me, is what boxing is all about.

If you wanted to persuade someone into been a boxing fan I think you would have to show them a recent fight instead of an old school fight. Just show them round 10 of the Castillo vs Corrales 1st fight.

Ali- Foreman,Castillo-CorralesI, Hearns-Hagler, Barrera-MoralesI, any of these fights can make a nonboxing fan a believer.

Roy Jones vs Vinny Pazienza

why? cus it's a brutal beatdown, with a great finish, and displays how "sweet" the sport can be. my cousins were in awe when they saw how fast and masterful roy was, reeled em in like a coupla sport bass.

Ali Frazier 3 or Ali Foreman. Both these fights show how brave boxers are and that it is no walk in the park like some people think.

Agreed! Any Gatti-Ward fight or the Corrales-Castillo fight. My girl became a fan of Mancini after she saw the Arguello-Mancini fight I have. I just wish I knew people around here that appreciate the science as well as the brawl.

Aww HELL YEEAH man, that **** was bangin and 2 of my boys and my bro fell in love with it. Good Call, Dogg.

I'll also call Taylor-Wright for the science you know, the best of both worlds.
