On a personal level, it'd have to be either Hopkins-Trinidad or Hopkins-Tarver for his two biggest and most dominan performances to silence a lot of people.
On a historical level, I'd have to say Tyson-Douglas simply for what someone said earlier about "witnessing the impossible".
that was me.
That fight will always be remembered as the "wtf?" fight
Legendary for sure.
I guess I'll put a couple other fights I wish I could have been to.
Ali Frazier I - What an event that must have been.
Ali Foreman - Ali Boomaye
Jack Johnson Jim Jeffries - Just to see the face of Jim Crow Whiteys.
Morales Barrera I - I cant believe I missed this fight, Wasnt living in vegas yet and wanted to do a roadtrip with some friends, they all flaked on me and I still cant believe I dident go. Went to Barrera Vs Morales II,III but the first one is the best one.
John L sullivan vs jake kilrain
Sullivan vs Corbett
Jack Johnson vs Jess Willard
Jack Johnson vs Sam langford
Marciano vs Walcott
Marciano vs Charles
Marciano vs Louis
Marciano vs Moore
Ali vs Liston 1
Ali vs Fraizer 1,2,3
Ali vs Foreman
Holyfield vs Bowe 1,2
I would travel back in time and...
1) prevent Wilfredo Gomez from fucking around before the fight agaisnt Sanchez.
2) prevent Duran to fuck around after he beated Sugar Rey Leonard
3) investigate why Hagler sold out.
4) but above all, I would loved to had been there when TiTo Trinidad beated down Vargas and Mayorga.
5) last but not least, any of the barrera-Morales fights.
which fight would it be?
Ali-Frazier I. I have seen the fight on ESPN Classic and nothing compares to the buildup or the aura of that fight, and it was a spectacular fight. If that fight had taken place today with the type of buildup that De La Hoya/Mayweather had, it would have sold three million PPV buys easily. My second choice would be Ali-Foreman (The Rumble in the Jungle)
