    Looking for fight recommendations!

    Alright so a friend of mine (a casual fan with a little bit of boxing knowledge) suggested we watch some quality fights together with a few beers.

    So basically i'm looking for recommendations about which fights, but i have a few boxes to tick:

    I'd prefer them to be modern fights, mid/late 80's is probably the earliest i'd go (unless there's some stellar examples).

    They can be excellent either cause of their intensity and excitement, or because of how sweet the talent and skills are - to this extent a one sided beatdown isn't really what i'm after, but if you can suggest a brilliant display that brings excitement then go for it (probably early Tyson stuff?).

    Strange, but i'd like them to be big events, good crowd, lots of noise etc. I'm trying to get my mate hooked and I think if the arena is empty or silent then it may take away a lot for him.

    And finally, I want about 3 or 4 fights i think, so maybe a couple of 12 rounders and maybe a couple of shorter ones?

    And if i can get them high quality thats a bonus

    Cheers guys! and green k for input!

    Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Phillip N'dou is a nice mix of skill and violence in a short fight. Plus, your casual fan friend won't know that N'dou wasn't elite.

    Mosley vs. Margarito is about as violent of a fight as I've ever seen. I've never seen a more prolific offense on display in one fight.

    Morales vs. Barrera 1 is insanely violent. Over 600 power punches were landed!

    And of course, Corrales vs. Castillo 1 just can't be ignored.

    That gives you 7, 8, 10 and 12 rounders between the 4 fights. Sound like a plan?

      Pryor vs Arguello I - Considered the fight of the decade (1980s)
      Hagler vs Hearns - FOTY and considered the greatest 3 rounder
      DLH vs Mosley I - Good action fight and pretty close
      Pacquiao vs Marquez I or II - Good action fight and pretty close

            marequez vs vasquez 1,2,3 is the best to watch at this point in time cause fight number 4 is just around the corner.
