        Current: Derek Chisora, Naoya Inoue
        Former: Arturo Gatti, Angel Manfred, Oba Carr, Livingstone Bramble
        Fight: Barrios/Freitas, Oullette/Hilton, Gatti/Ward, De La Hoya/Vargas

        While I appreciate skilled boxing, I tend to prefer maulers. For fights, I like where there is genuine bad blood or some regional rivalry. Barrios/Freitas was Brazil vs Argentina, Oullette vs Hilton was a Canadian showdown, Oscar and Feroz was bad blood and Gatti/Ward were just pure violence.

          Chavez vs Rosario was also another good one. Tho it was more of a one sided beatdown

            All time- Roy Jones jr, Marc “Too Sharp” Johnson, Evander Holyfield, Sugar Ray Leonard, Orlando Canizales and Bruce Seldon (when Bruce had his mind together he was a talented heavyweight)

            Current- Boots and Bam

            I have been watching boxing for over 50 years so I have too many favorite fights to list or remember

                Good call, I was only about 10 or 11 when that one went down but I remember reading about it in the old boxing magazines I would buy.

                ​​​​​​Chavez vs Rosario was one of those great PR vs Mexico matchups that seemed to have legitimate bad blood. Those types of fights often seem to generate a little extra violence and tension.

                  This warms my heart. I was a big "AC Express" fan because I grew up in South Jersey and always supported the local fighters. I remember thinking he had a puncher's chance against Tyson and was heartbroken when he was blown out in a round. Same night Tupac was killed too...
