What was the best fight you were ever in attendance for? Mine was being at Mayweather vs. Mosley.
Trinidad Hopkins. There was only like 500 Bhop fans and 25K tito fans in Madison Square Garden. When Trinidad went down you could hear a rat piss on a cotton ball.
Tony Fuligani(spelling) vs. Jimmy Young. Classic swarmer-puncher/counterpuncher-boxer matchup.
Also good McCallum-McCrory and Carbajal-Kittikasem. Jirov's last fight was pretty good too, Jirov was down a couple times before scoring the knockout.
Froch/Pascal - Great fight, great atmosphere.
Hatton/Tszyu - Was rooting for Kostya, one of my era's greatest, but was impressed with Hatton. The crowd was electric.
Calzaghe/Lacy - I went as a neutral expecting Lacy to beat Joe, but was in awe of Calzaghe's best performance.
mine would be a toss up between hatton v tysu ! or calzaghe v lacy !! both great nights and great fights !
this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^i was at both fights aswell,great nights even though hatton vs tyzu was a better because the M.E.N areana was rocking all night long
i was also at kats vs mitchell recently and that was very lively

Best fight? Marquez-Vasquez III, those guys gave the crowd a fight worth the ticket price! Also the crowd, atmosphere for pacquiao-hatton was incredible. The brits are just so passionate about their sports they had me singing "there's only 1 ricky hatton"
the atmosphere at ricky hattons homecoming against lazcano was imense, 55,000 people screaming theres only 1 ricky hatton
but the best fight iv ever seen live is easily michael katsidis v graham earl
I agree but that was the first mega fight I have ever been to I wanted to go to Cotto vs. Margarito so bad but I was only 18 and I am from Chicago but the amount of stars at Mayweather vs. Mosley was insane though the weigh-in was cool to because there were so many boxers there and hatton put on like 50 pounds lol but yeah I am going to go to a lot of great matches in the future with electric crowds
i feel you, i will say this, there is nothing like a like boxing event, especially a mage fight, no matter what, i'm just fortunate enough to have been to a good few to compare and form my opinion on my experience......
as long as there is boxing and i'm able to, i'm getting a seat, done deal.

Damn that is awesome deuce drop I wish I could have been at a few of those. I can not even imagine the suspense at Corrales vs. Castillo
yeah man, talk about live, that fight had everyone beside themselves, when it was about the 5th round, i said to my friends we're witnessing one of the greatest fights ever, had no idea at that moment how true that statement was.
crowds make the fights a lot of the time, that fight made the crowd raise up as both fighters elevated their game in a true display of heart and war.........
it's really been pushed to the back burner on how important a LIVE crowd is to a boxing event, they can sway the judges, they can make the fight better by spurring on a fighter, and it makes for a better experience as a whole as a paying customer and a fan of the sport........
