I'M TALKING ABOUT THE FIGHTS THAT MADE YOU SUPPORT THEM 100% AND BECOME A FAN OF THEIRS FROM THEN ON AFTER YOU SAW IT
heres mine:
With Mayweather: Diego Corrales, Arturo Gatti
With Roy Jones: Vinny Pazienza
With Pacquiao: the trilogy with Erik Morales
With De La Hoya: First fight with Shane Mosley
With Cotto: Shane Mosley, Antonio Margarito (even though he loss)
so wat about you guys? :boxing:
Mayweather- Stomping Judah's ass when I questioned his ability to do so.
Judah- KO'ing Cory Spinks with all that BS Nelly crap in St. Louis.
Taylor- Representing Little Rock and dominating Hopkins for the first half of the fight.
Judah would be something special if he would just push himself to the limits
and actually dedicate himself to his craft

Hatton Vs Thraxton
Hamed Vs Cruz - I was a Hamed fan from way way back
Eubank Vs Benn I
Benn Vs Eubank I
Jason Booth Vs Napa I - Still one of teh best figths i've ever seen.
the MAB/Morales trilogy
Tzsyu Vs Mitchell
Floyd Vs Gatti
I can't remember not being a Duran nuthugger, he was by Dads favourite fighter and ever since i was given a book detailing Nicolino Locche's career and researching him i've been a massive fan of him too.
For Sturm it was the DLH robbery and the Hector Javier Velazco where he won the belt
For Amin Asikainen it was the 2 fights with Sebastian Sylvester
For Juergen Braehmer it was the Veit fights and Hector Javier Velazco fight
For JMM it was the Pac series
For Marcos Maidana it was obviously the Kotelnik(i though Maidana won) and Ortiz fight.
As for retired fighters
For Ottke it was both the Thomas Tate fights 2 of the smoothess, effortless ass whoopings I have ever seen.
The RJJ vs Toney fight in 1994 was what first made me love boxing and understand the sweet science.
Paul Williams: Sharmbe Mitchell
The first time I ever saw Paul fight. I was like: "This guy is gonna be the best in the world one day." He just might be.
pac -- sasakul , morales1-2
-- really became more of a boxing fan after morales 1... was just
pachugger before that
morales -- pac1
kostya -- forrest (amateur) , judah
jmm -- pac
pbf -- coralles
cotto -- mosley
pwill -- margarito
donaire -- vic (well, there is not much choice )
tua -- ruiz , hope he gets another shot at the title
fighters I respect but no love
Bhop -- somehow, I just don't like his style
Dlh -- 1st time I saw him fight was in the Trinidad fight , I was disappointed and never supported him again since.
Calzaghe -- same reason as Bhop
barrera -- wonder why I always think of him as a dirty fighter
This is one of the best questons ever asked here so props...
I'll say my top 2:
1. Floyd Mayweather Jr- He wasn't one of my favorite fighters until around the time he beat Arturo Gatti in 2005. I knew of his talent and had seen a handful of his fights before then, but I hadn't paid that close of attention to him until that time. Even then I was more of a Zab Judah fan, but I knew Zab would lose to Mayweather after he was beaten by Baldomir. My favorite fighter at the time, Roy Jones Jr. was knocked out twice in 2004 and my second favorite, Zab Judah, embarrassed himself in 2006. At that point, Mayweather pulled ahead as my favorite...
2. Jermain Taylor- I'm from Little Rock, and I went to the same schools as him and his sisters. I appreciate his talent and the fact he never ever forgot where he came from, and represents us every chance he gets. No particular fights made him a favorite, but I'll say that I was blown away the first time he beat Hopkins, because at the time B-Hop looked invincible.
Definintely Mayweather - Chico .. I had never seen such domination before.
Erik Morales in his trilogy with Barrera...
Barrera - Hamed.... Barrera was a beast!
JMM, in his first fight with Pac!
Morales is such a ****kkkkkin warrior man..
and the thing is everytime he fights he just wants to give the crowd a good fight, we prolly wont find someone like him in boxing anytime soon
