        Sometimes I am, but not right now. I watched Trinidad-Mayorga on drugs, and that was very fun.

        Corrales-Castillo 1 is the greatest fight I've ever seen. Plus it helps that I saw it when it happened, and fights like Moore-Durelle I, FOTC, Manila, Saad-Johnson 1, etc...all happened before I was born. Different experience seeing it when it happens as opposed to seeing it after the fact. Which is why I somewhat (but not fully) understand how people rank Hagler-Hearns so highly, above fights I consider definitely superior.

          i found Corrales vs Castillo a mediocre fight same as i did Ward v Gatti.... Mancini vs Kim would have been one of the great fights in history if not for the sad ending to the fight

                It's one of, but I wouldn't call it the best.

                I like Castillo-Corrales, Vazquez-Marquez 3, Holmes-Norton, Holyfield-Qawi, and a few other better. The Thrilla was amazing, but it played out in three dominant parts whereas as other fights were consistently back and forth.

                  It was a few years ago; I'll try to find the site.

                    Funny that, I watch fights that are happening the same way I watch past fights: Completely dispassionately and in total silence (except for maybe the odd grumble of disgust when someone does something dumb).
