Live?

The best fight I remember seeing on T.V. was Eubank against some other chap whose name I forget now.

It wasn't the main fight that night and was far from a technical delight but the two lads basically came out of their corners and immediately set about beating the crap out of each other all round, every round and for all 12 rounds.

Anybody know the fight that I mean?

No not the Watson one, not Benn either.

It was after the Watson fight and Eubank wasn't the same. The other lad wasn't all that well known I think.

That last one is a great shout dave. The best pound for pound fighters. The other two i presume you chose because of their hatred for eachother?

Yeah. I love Calzaghe but I think he dodged Froch who would have given him more bother than a knackered Roy Jones Jnr.

Ali v  Frazier, Thrilla in Manilla

Naylor vs Sibson for the British middleweight title, early 80's (I think)

Not one for the purists, but they punched the shit out of each other, a really well matched bout.

Benn vs Eubank, was always a good match too.

Cristiano Ronaldo vs Eric Sabin

Just imagine how pathetic that would be. Ronaldo swings, misses, but Sabin is down anyway. And so on.

I saw one of Bruno's first flights at Talk of the Town I think.
It was brutual, he hit this fat slob so hard in the head it nearly came off his shoulders he was knocked out before he started to fall, it was a bit like those old boxing computer games of the 80s when the guys head moved away from his shoulders when you hit him.

I would have loved to seen any Ali fight but in particular the fights against Frazier.
