If you're talking televised and not simply filmed, some sources will tell you that the first fight ever televised was a British Light Heavyweight title fight between Len Harvey and Jock McAvoy, which took place in the late 1930's. -

Shoot, I guess that's going to leave me guessing then, because I really don't know. I think that the rematch between Joe Louis and Billy Conn was the first televised fight over a world championship (at least for the heavyweight championship), so I'm going to guess that it was...Joey Maxim vs. Sugar Ray Robinson?Originally posted by trinidadpr87Comment

Gus Lesnevich vs. Billy FoxComment

I had actually thought about naming that fight, but I wasn't sure if both Fox and Lesnevich were quite enough of an attraction. But now it would kinda make sense that they'd put that on television, seeing as how "Blackjack" Billy Fox had the most impressive knockout record around during that era (although it was somewhat fabricated), while Lesnevich was one of the better looking fighters around during that time, which might've appealed to some of the female viewers, I guess (while fighting, Lesnevich was built like a brick ****house).Originally posted by trinidadpr87

Answer to the first question is Ad Wolgast, who was one of the toughest, nastiest, and downright dirtiest mother ****ers to have ever stepped foot into a ring.Originally posted by trinidadpr87Comment

I really have no idea, but the modesty in that statement makes it sound like something Angelo Dundee would say.Originally posted by trinidadpr87Comment
