What are the top 5 fights you attended live?

[JAB5239]

Im sort of piggy backing off another thread here, but what are the top 5 fights you've attended. Doesn't matter the reasons, just your personal opinions.

1. Toney-Jirov: Was ringside for this and it really needs no explanation. 2nd greatest cruiserweight fight ever and a classic!

2. Lewis-Briggs: Recognized champion vs lineal champion. Got to witness a future heavyweight top 10 ATG and met George Foreman as well.

3. Pazienza-Dele: Paz won the WBA 154 title that night in front of his home crowd and I've never been to a fight as loud. The building was literally shaking.

4. Hamed-Sanchez: Love him or hate him, seeing the prince was great! An electric atmosphere and a knockout that sounded like a gunshot.

5. Jones-Griffin 2: Over before it started. Anytime you get to see a future ATG is a treat though!

The UK is so small that if there's a big fight here it's not difficult to get to.

I've not been to many fights across the pond.

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.

Benn-Eubank must have been huge. Those guys hated each other. Must have also been a treat to see Arguello!

[New England]

mayweather - alvarez
froch - taylor
garcia - matthysse
abril - lundy (not the most exciting, but they both boxed very well.)
martinez - dzinziruk

Cotto - Marg 2
Donaire - Rigo
Cotto - Foreman at Yankee stadium
Garcia - Morales 2
Golovkin - Stevens

I'd truly like to see Golovkin fight before he retires, and as much as I hate the Yankees (Red Sox baby!) I'd love to see a fight there too.
