If you could only show 1 fight

[Battle*Hardened]

A back and forth fight where guys show extreme power and speed. With knockdowns. It;s one thing to have power but you have to look like you have power while throwing. Like the Berto's and Kirlands of the world.

Hagler-Hearns.

Recently Perr/kirk or berto/ortiz. People want to see todays fighters.

benn vs mcclellan-obviously a tragedy what happened to mcclellan but the fight had me transfixed.castillio/corrales 1,barrera/morrales,gatti/ward were all unbelivable and any of them would do the trick.the 1st pavlik/taylor fight deserves a mention too.

[ts33]

It would be a back and forth fight (but not too brutal)

DLH-Mosley 1?

I've said this in a similar thread, there are a lot of people who aren't boxing fans because of the brutality involved. Showing those people Castillo-Corrales, Hagler-Hearns, Ali-Frazier 3, etc., would most likely not make them boxing fans. It would just reaffirm their belief that the sport is too violent and brutal.

I was made a boxing fan by one sided Roy Jones fights, and many love to watch great examples of skill where one fighter dazzles. Show them Jones-Toney, Mayweather-Corrales, Pacquiao-Barrera, fights where one fighter's talents show and impress, you'll get as many fans as the brutal ATG slugfests, IMO.

Castillo vs Corrales

I would have to go with castillo corrales too, it kinda turned me into a boxing fight, great ending, i still watch it for that buzz you get when the crowd roars, sick man.

[shade darkar]

of recent ish times, pacquiao vs morales 1.

Real deal holyfield vs Brian nielsen

Seriously Ali-frazier 1 is my all time favorite fight , it was the perfect stylistic clash of styles and drama , if you put a person in the right mine frame in reagards to the magniture of the fight it will turn many into the world of boxing , just like the fight did back then.

That fight made my dad start boxing

^^^True. You have a very good point. I'm sure if I'd show the fights I mentioned to my wife she'd go, "See? This is exactly why I don't like boxing."

Fights where technique is very apparent or where defense, flashiness, or supreme offense is employed substantially would be fights with Mayweather, Ali, Roy, Naseem, Augustus, etc.
