Boxing Fight to Show CASUAL FAN do you Recommend?

Fights

I was trying to convert my brother to boxing. He used to watch WWE during his younger days.

Is it better to show him a whole fight or should I show him a compilation instead. What video do you recommend?

i recomment :

jose luis castillo vs diego corrales 1

Hagler★

I did this the other day easiest option is Cotto/Marg because from there you can lead onto marg/mosley and introduce the understory of the handwraps

Gatti-Ward 1, Castillo-Corrales 1

Those two capture anyone's imagination.

MANGLER

Start wit FOTY matchups. Then get em to watch technical fights. They'll warm up to good boxing if they see some slugfests first.

S.G.

you gotta ease them into the technical encounters. start brutal and introduce more and more skillful affairs as you go!

it's a good time to bring people in now as you can get them excited about the Cotto/Pacquiao fight and that fight is 90% sure to be entertaining one way or the other, and then you got Maywetaher vs the winner to keep them hooked

Freedom.

Dunne vs. Cordoba
Pavlik vs. Miranda
Froch vs. Taylor

PensionKiller

Calzaghe VS Lacy and Kessler and Roy.

Naz VS whoever.

Nigel Benn VS G man and Eubank.

Cotto Vs Torres and Marg.

Mayweather Vs Hatton.

Pac VS Hatton, Oscar and Diaz

Berto VS Colazzo

Malligani VS Diaz

Gatti VS Ward

Tyson VS Holyfield 2

Vitali VS Lennox

Froch VS Pascal

Get fights that people are outclassed. Get close fights and some fights that are clearly the wrong decision. That way he gets to understand more of boxing and maybe has an opinion.

Fights

Thanks guys.

Early Mike Tyson fights, most casual fans just appreciate KO's. Not so much boxing ability.
