    Hopkins - Trinidad. A historic event for so many reasons and a genuinely entertaining fight. I've watched it more than any other fight probably.

      Fury vs Wilder 1
      Fury vs Wilder 3
      Joshua vs Klitschko
      Mayweather vs Hatton
      Pacquia vs Marquez 4
      Khan vs Maidana
      Fury vs Usyk 1
      Froch vs Groves 1
      Chisora vs Whyte 1
      Joshua vs Ruiz 1
      Prince Naseem vs Kevin Kelly

      Overrated fights
      Fury vs Usyk 2 (decent, but such a drop from fight 1. Very scrappy)
      Thurman vs Danny Garcia
      Gatti vs Ward - All of them. No skill level
      Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson - Even though Mike Tyson reprimed for the fight, he can't compete with Next-Gen men like the Face of Boxing Jake Paul
      Wlad vs David Haye


      Just 11 great fights off the top of my head and some overrated ones. Nash out - His Majesty

            Like others said, there's gotta be hundreds:

            some that came to mind -

            Chiquita Gonzalez v Michael Carbajal I (this was the first fight my dad took me to at a kid. I didn't know jack at the time(still dont) , I didn't appreciate that it was a classic fight until I got older.

            Rid**** Bowe - Holyfield I

            Chavez - Taylor I

            Barerra-Morales I

            Hamed-Kelly

            Kelly Pavlik - Jermain Taylor I

            Pacquiao - Morales I

            Margarito-Cotto I

            Oscar-Mosley I

            Pac-JMM 1 + 4

            Maidana- Victor Ortiz

            Toney-Jirov

            The list goes on, and looking forward to the new classics to come

              Indeed. It was sure a big deal at the time. I have most of Tyson’s fights on a three-DVD set. They’re heavily edited — not just the in-between rounds, but even lulls in the action — but you get a real sense of each fight. Their two encounters were literally like watching two bulls fight. Neither gave an inch. Fearsome. I don’t know how frail, old Mills Lane had the guts to stand between those two behemoths. He might’ve been killed completely by accident. Haha

                Maidana vs broner was probably my fav, the build up with broner being the overwhelming favourite and being hilariously over confident to maidana teaching him a lesson, it was very satisfying.

                Best fight I've watched live in terms of out right entertainment was maidana vs ortiz, the sound of both men's punches is the loudest I've ever heard live. Brutal fight.

                jmm vs katsidis deserves a mention, always loved watching jmm and katsidis made him earn it in this one, great atmosphere also.

                  Mayweather-Hatton was the first Vegas fight I went too. I was up in the cheap seats, wasn’t even 21 at tgw time and had to use a fake ID to get into the bars, gamble at casinos etc. I remember watching the fight live I actually thought Hatton was doing well. Then I remember flying back to the UK and watching it on like the Wednesday and it was actually pretty one sided. My favourite build up to a fight ever and the atmosphere was insane, literally all week too. Awesome experience.
