    What's a good fight to convince a friend to become a boxing fan?

    If there was ONE fight and just ONE fight to convince a friend to be a boxing fan, which fight would that be? Please just choose one, I know there's a lot to choose from.

          Castillo v Corrales that is all you need! because it is new 2005 and it is throwback at the same time! and then let him buy the rematch he wont be dissappointed.

          Alot of people at my work bought the erik morales vs manny pacquiao fight and then they got dissappointed they told me I thought you said that guy pacman was devastating!>?

                I would say both Castillo/Corrales to see a great fight between two A level fighters showing great chins, heart, desire, and power...then of course the drama in the end...one fighter being on the brink of being finished...only to come back and nearly decapitate a ragdoll of an opponent on the ropes

                then I would also throw in a fight like Mayweather/Gatti to show them the great boxing skill of fighters even in one sided fights regardless of opponent...maybe a Jones Jr fight as well...

                then also a fight where a major upset happened like Tarver/Jones II...one of those one punch knockout upsets...

                I think that combination of a great drama fight, an exhibition of natural boxing skills, and an upset of high magnitude would get anyone interested

                  Or you can always show a Hector Camacho fight, WITH enterance.
                  It'll either piss him off, or get a good laugh, either way hes in the trap.

                    Let's go old school and show them the Ali-Frazier battles, then bring it to the 80's and show them Mike Tyson's dominance, and the Leonard-Hearns-Hagler-Duran battles, and just to put it in perspective, show them the Coralles-Castillo wars. If those fights don't get them hooked, somoething's wrong with them.
