    Lots of fights. But the ones that stand out the most in my mind when I watched them were

    Tyson/Holyfield 1

    Trinidad/Vargas

    Mosley/Margarito

    Now for the opposite. This one really disappointed me.

    Pavlik/Hopkins.

    I'm still hurting after that one. What a let down.

          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

            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.

                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.
