        There used to be a show on t.v. when I was a kid that always ran "classic fights" as they are known now - the first time I watched it was in the 60's -- the question was "which fight was the first fight you ever saw?" and that was my "it" for me my friend, I didn't read anything into the question as to whether it had to be "live" -- just simply -- "what was the first fight I ever saw".....

          Oh, and by the way -- Liston vs Clay was in 1964 --- I was born in 1962 and while I am at it, we had a HUGE VCR in 1973 at my house, it was called a "cartridge vision" (or something like that as I recall) it was built into a t.v. stand kind of thing -- very ugly...

                Alan Minter v Marvin Hagler in 1980. From that day I was hooked.
