    For a millions dollars what 5 fights would you show

    I will give you a millions dollars you have to make someone become a hardcore boxing fan the person was very very casual fans before they never even watched a whole fight before. You get to show them 5 fights to make them a fan which 5 fights do you choose?

    For me its

    Castillo Corralles I
    Castillo Corralles II
    Duran Leonard I
    Taylor Chavez I
    Spinks Holmes I

    Castillo-Corrales is all they need to see. If they ain't fans after that they ain't gonna never be fans.

      Your list is great but I have to throw in Pavlik vs. Taylor 1 I watched that fight with my dad and he has watched boxing for about 30 years and he said that was one of the greatest fights I have ever seen. Pavlik vs. Taylor 1 and Marquez vs. Diaz 1 are the two best fights that I have watched live your list has great fights probably better than the two I mentioned and I have watched them but there is a huge difference in watching a fight live and one on youtube.

              Gatti-Ward I
              Castillo-Corrales I
              Duran-Leonard I
              Spinks-Holmes I

              And finally, to introduce them to brutal knockouts, I'd show them pretty much anything from the knockout king. Here's a decent one:

                    Gatti-Ward 1
                    Castillo-Corrales
                    Chavez-Taylor
                    Barrera-Morales
                    Marquez-Barrera OR Cotto-Margarito

                    I picked all fairly recent fights because up until recently, I was convinced that more modern fighters were simply better. So I figure it's best to introduce something to fights that are more "accessible" with better picture quality and commentary, and then progress to more historic fights. Also, you might not think Barrera-Marquez belongs in there with the other ones, but that's a hell of a war and it was fought at such a high skill level that it's really good to show that you don't have to be sloppy to be a warrior.
