    Senga V Tracey, two burds in a spit and sawdust pub I worked in. Senga ripped Tracey's blouse right aff her and held her doon while she hit her on the head wi a stilleto heel, Tracey fought back and bit Senga on the face while trying to stab her with a beer mat, both fighters were seperated by the ref. (me) who got a kick in the baws for his trouble, rematch was set for the following week. :boxing:

    I think fighters must've literally started fearing for their life when Tyson was making his entrance during his peak. Surely one of the hardest hitters ever with absolutely no mercy. All because someone stole one of his doos :ranting2:

    Best fights I've ever seen, Barrera v Margaritio 1...Gatti v Ward 1...and Eubank v Benn 1. 1st round of Hagler v Hearns was probably the best round in history. But one of the best boxing performances I've seen was Pacquaio destroying Oscar De la Hoya. "Death by 1,000 left hands" they called it

    I think when you don’t watch a fight live and without knowing the result, it loses a bit of an edge to me. So while the likes of Hagler vs Hearns and Ward vs Gatti were undoubtedly great fights, I won’t mention them.

    For me it would be one of Pacquiao vs Marquez 2, Corrales vs Castillo 1 or Morales vs Barrera. All great fights that encapsulate everything that is great about boxing - artistic, brutally tough, dangerous, edge of your seat stuff. There’s a back and flow to most great sporting events that these fights definitely had. There’s a lot of others that fall just short of those three, and some that I liked for individual performances rather than the fight itself (Froch vs Bute, Mayweather vs Hatton, Pacquiao vs Margarito).
