    What moments in boxing were electrifying to you?

    What moments in particular were electrifying, or gave you chills down your spine?

    Personally, I marked out like crazy when Floyd and Pac went face-to-face for the first time, dressed in their respective suits, their giant heads bobbing around under the lights.

    My following/love of boxing is in it's infancy, so that is it for me.

    What about y'all?

    EDIT: What I listed was something I watched in Real Time, as opposed to via highlights or Youtube.

    Tyson's post fight interview where he declared he wanted to eat Lewis' children always makes me lose my ****. Same with the "I'll **** you til you love me, F*ggot!" rant. Heel persona done right.

    B-Hop doing push ups between rounds when fighting Pascal made me go absolutely crazy.

    Floyd's Check hook that made Hatton dive face first into the corner's turn buckle too.

    Froch-Groves 2 KO. Carl is legit one of my Top 5 fav boxers, so that had me screaming and cussing as well.

    And while these didn't necessarily "electrify" me, seeing videos of Teddy Atlas and Paulie giving Floyd props after he retired also stick out as massive moments for me. Not necessarily because it was Floyd or something, but the fact that there was no bull****, no pretense, just people who dedicated their lives to boxing, paying respect to somebody else who did the same. Nobody understands the kind of sacrifice it takes to be a professional boxer than fellow professionals. Made me smile.

                GGG vs Brook was one of the best I've ever seen, I was rooting for Brook.
                May Pac when I was supporting Pacquaio.
                Thats the farthest my live boxing watching history can go sorry (:

                On tapes:
                Takashi Mirua vs Miguel Roman, undercard of Frapton Leo Santa. Takashi was screaming and pucnhing with full power, he was truly a dragon, Bruce Lee
                Roger Mayweather vs Vinny PAz, when Roger started to push that rich around and KD. fav.
                Bhop vs Pavlik, when BHop went for bolo punches and truly punched more than thrice consequently.
                Maravilla vs Chavez Jr round 12, I was screaming "noooo noooo"
                Rigo vs Amagashi, the guy was a freak, no matter how hard Rgio landed he kept coming like an anime monster, plus the Japanese commentary gooesebumps> MExican> HBO > Showtime > ESPN > PBC.
                Ali Sonny I, almost felt like Ally slipped real bullets

                    Hagler vs. Hearns. From opening bell to the end, it was one of the most intense fights of all time. Literally on the edge of my seat for the duration.
