I don't get to as many fights as I would like, but I was at Cotto-Jennings, Lopez-Luevano, Gamboa-Matagwa (Gamboa live was pretty fun) and Martinez-Williams 2. Being there for that Martinez KO over Williams was incredible. It seemed like it took P-Will a whole minute to fall down. I also got the pleasure of meeting Sergio and getting a picture with him afterward. He's a very nice guy and easy to approach. I've been to some FNF cards as well.
On a side note, if Cotto and Martinez fight at MSG, I'll be there.
It's tough to say. It's late at night here and I'm drawing a blank, even though I've seen a lot of fights live. Here are two that I remember. My fights aren't as memorable as the original poster's though.
Pacquiao-Marquez IV - A historic knockout, and an outrageous crowd. Time stopped when Pacquiao went down, and I remember each moment in slow-motion afterwards.
Hopkins-Murat - Sure, it wasn't Barrera-Morales, but the fans were enjoying what turned out to be a surprisingly good fight. Was incredible to witness Hopkins in the corner ducking and slipping Murat's shots, then beat him around the ring.
Now I get a chance to show off, but I don't think I can list them in any particular order:
Hagler v Duran
Hagler v Leonard
Holyfield v Bowe 1
Whitaker v Chavez Sr.
Barkley v Hearns
That's just a tip of the iceberg, there were some great fights I managed to weasle my way into during the 80s and 90s and in recent years I've managed to see some big events but sadly they have never lived up to the hype.
Mayweather v Oscar was such a big event and should have fascinated the sporting public but it never lived up to expectations Calzaghe against Hopkins should have been a clash of true legends...again the fight died a slow and pathetic death.
home slice thats a heck of a list
I've only been to fights in the UK:
Froch v Pascal
Haye v Audley (got free tickets for that one lol)
Hatton v Tszyu
Fury v Chisora
So not so bad and a fair few small cards at places like yorkhall.
