That was the best fight i ever saw. Not for quality of action but it was history in the making and i was so engrossed, glued to the tv. Begging the question, what is everyone's feel good fights. That fight that indented you as a boxing fan! What was it?
Feelfree to relate the personal infliction it had for you....

...That's mine too for sure. I told everyone in the romm that if Evander won I would run around the neghborhood naked. Thankfully nobody called me on it and made me do it. Plus, the wife wouldn't let me.

Well my live fight experience is very limited so Lacy beating Reid into the canvas was my best and most memorable but as far as overall feel good fights watched I agree with you on Tyson/Holyfield I and felt similar during Lewis/Rahman II and Lewis/Tyson.....just the results I hoped for and fun to watch.

True true my friend. i tell you what, it might sound like a lie but i knew from after the first round Evander was gonna win. i remember shouting at my parents ( they don`t mind like the big fights to watch, my dad's a fan of tyson ) i told them he hit him back, he hit him back. Classic hour of my life i have to say, i felt great when Evander won!

Since I'm a pacfan, it had to be Barrera vs. Pac. Pacquiao, relatively unknown to the world back then was the underdog(4-1) when he fought legendary P4P great Marco Barrera. I didn't give him a chance but I was soooooo wrong. Barrera was demolished and embarrassed in a one sided fight. So proud of that moment that I even posted boxing related post to non-boxing forums that I was a member of back then. I watched that fight like 50 times in my VHS.

The only big fight I saw live was Tyson vs. Danny Williams. It was a truly great fight and something I'll always remember is the way everyone in Freedom Hall that night felt the same way we feel after Louisville loses a basketball game. Tyson losing was like a loss for us. But I loved the fight and watch it all the time.

...I know exactly what your saying and when Tyson rushed him and connected with that first punch and Holy wasn't fazed, I just knew Evander was going to be alright. I had always told a long time Barber of mine that Evander would beat Tyson because he wouldn't be afraid. This was in Tyson's pre-prison prime mind you. He was a really cool Cuban guy who was also a big fight fan. He would talk **** about Stevenson and what he could have done and what not. Anyway, he would always shake his head and say he thought I was crazy that Evander could beat Tyson. I went back to see him after Evander took out Tyson and he just shook his head at me and said "you were right all along".

When I was 15 I had the fight that made me feel great. I had started up with a new trainer and he had me fighting sharp with the jab and the movement. I always had descent power but that jab made the guys forget about my right while I was continuously touching them with the jab. Then I drop the right ...........

The fight was against a kid from Detroit who I had never seen before. My trainer had told me that this kid was supposed to be the real thing and told me to be sharp. The kid was named Corey Johnson out of Al "Blue" Lewis' gym.

We fought in a beautifull church in down town Detroit. Corey was slick and corey was fast, extremely fast. We had a hell of a throw down and it was a decision in my favor. We would meet again 4 more times before we were finished as amatuers. I would win all of our bouts. They were all close ones, except for that first one in Detroit. That one was all mine. Corey ended up doing well as a pro, fighting for the title against Kosta Tszyu. He didnt win the fight though but I am still proud of what he was able to accomplish.

Its funny with fighters. We will step into the ring and try to beat the f**k out of eachother and yet every time we see each other now its big smiles and how have you beens. We embrace in the fighters hug and get talking. He who bleeds in the ring with me is my brother.

Rockin'

...Good stuff right there!!! Almost brought a tear to my eye.
