MOST DRAMATIC
SHOCKING/UNEXPECTED

Now many times people cannot get into Boxing cold, especially previous generations of fights when they have no investment in the sport, the business, the story and the fighters themselves.

Watching Foreman knockout Moorer might get responses like "so that was just a fat man knocking out a guy who wasn't good"....mainly because they don't have investment in the story of Foreman's turnaround and comeback. Investment in Moorer shockingly winning the HW title and actually being skillful as the favorite. Moorer kind of laughing off the thought of Foreman winning and feeling like Foreman didn't deserve the fight, etc. Investment in the fact that Foreman wasn't "supposed" to come back and win the HW championship.

So many times we have to keep that in mind. So it can always help your case if you know enough of the fighters and history to explain or even show highlights of before showing the fights you choose above.

I'm just curious which fights you'd choose. They don't necessarily have to be "consensus" by the masses, but simply what you feel fits those categories best.

From what I seen live (from my tv while sitting on the couch rofl)

FAVORITE FIGHT - Nelo vs G 2
FAVORITE DISPLAY OF SKILL - 1st Canelo vs G fight
FAVORITE DISPLAY OF TALENT - Juan Ma Marquez vs PacMan 3
MOST DRAMATIC - Fury vs Wilder due to the Gypsy Undertaker
SHOCKING/UNEXPECTED - Marquez knocking Pacquiao out cold

Floyd-Burton

[Zelda]

Show them Ali vs Patterson or Ali vs Williams (along with the trash talk). There is enough boxing skills in it than the entire heavyweights of today combined.

[SplitSecond]

I dont talk about boxing and wouldnt reccommend it in it's current state.

(...)

... Now: someone asks to show him why...

... Therefore, you only have to take him to a good boxing card, and observe his reactions there...

Pacquiao vs Marquez II. Pacquiao marquez IV.

Pacquiao’s style is really tailor made for marquez but he still makes it hard for him coz he compensates for it with his physical gifts, and warrior mentallity.

I really don’t believe that their style is made for each other. Only Pac’s style is made for Marquez’s.

Pac vs Hatton or Pac vs Cotto for instant excitement.

I like Floyd. But his style is really for the level 2-3 fans. My friends got bored with his Maidana I fight lmao. And that was one of his more offensive fights compared to the others. Maybe the Floyd-hatton could be the starter. Or the gatti fight.

Rigo needs the level 4 fans.

[Cracaphat]

Mosley vs Margarito. Mosley was the underdog,in decline,an old 37, fighting a guy that apart from Cotto,no-one wanted any part of.He got served divorce papers in his dressing room from his ol' lady just before the fight.He then went on to write the blueprint on how to back a m%$# up,who's coming at you with bad intentions.I can never get bored watching that masterpiece.

[Larry the boss]

[Idunnoshet]

Corrales / Castillo 1
Margarito / Cotto 1
If you don't become an instant boxing fan after watching those two fights . Boxing's not for you .
