+ 1 What's the best fight you've EVER SEEN?
ad
I'm assuming not too many guys on here were around to see Ali vs Forman so lets say over the last 25 years, what's the best fight you've ever seen? MMA included! I don't follow mma as closely as boxing but I'm
A fan. I have to submit my vote as a tie between Holyfield vs Bowe or any one of the 3 Gatti vs Ward fights! What about you?

one of the best kickboxing matches of our time was between Joe Lewis and Bill "superfoot" Wallace. Joe is an intellect with his hands and Wallace was a artist with his feet. even Norris had a hard time entertaining like these guys did. many don't know this, because of guys like this kickboxing was almost set to be as big if not bigger than prize fighting in the states. too bad the promoters bastardised the sport and left such a terrible taste in everyone's mouth, once the networks and sponsors pulled out and the organizations disbanded the sport died, only to one day return in the capacity of what we know as mma. my title fight only netted me 10k where it was once primed to bring 6 figures to its fighters title fights. ooh well best of times no regrets fellas...
great post Nitti, bringing back good memories, as a former kickboxer, my pops never missed one of my fights and was some of the glue that brought us together. kudos brother!
AnonHenderson vs bisping was brutal
Bisping vs mayhem miller was cool too
The end of the bisping henderson fight was awesome. When henderson dropped that last flying blow to the jaw! (I did it to shut him up) as henderson said....lol
Anoni know cause he ran his mouth alot that season
That was a brutal ko
AnonI always enjoyed watching tyson fight
Was the way he carried himself and attacked
Mother fucker would pounce like a tiger
But im not sure which fight was my favorite
And its been a long time since i have seen a good boxing match... i turned it on recently and doesnt seem yhe same.. i dont know any of these dudes
I been practicing and been watching mma fights for over 10years now
Hey nitti
You remember that weird boxer prince naseem hamed
He was good for a minute.. til he got his ass wooped lol
Prince Nasim Hamed was a beast bro! I hated that fucker but he could throw down. He was 0 talent all heart! Fights like Pac man. I used to yell at the tv and call him out. I wanted to fight that cat so bad
Prince Nas was a legend and my all time favourite fighter. As a kid my parents would wake me up at 3am to let me watch his fights live, good times
hello hamed body strength always amazed me but not his fighting skills when in with a master fighter like barrera who simply circled him taking away his most powerful shots and reducing him to throwing a lot of back hands that the referee kept warning him for he was lost and an just my opinion maybe 3 fights sooner and he would not have stood a chances against steve robinson
AnonDude i watched some of his shit on u tube
His record was 36w 1 loss and like 34 ko
That one loss and he quit
His fighting style was real unique and could hit pretty good from crazy angles
I actually enjoyed watching him fight but hated him too lol
He was one of those guys u like and hate at the same time
Dan henderson and Mauricio rua in ufc 139....25 minutes of nonstop action. And even though I wasnt even an itch on my dads knee when foreman and ali fought I have watched it. Foreman was an animal! I do have one question and I ask this alot.....tyson in his utmost prime and ali in his who would take it?
AnonIf tyson connect that ko blow its over
He was explosive., ali would play with your mind
Thats what I mean, we all know ali played the "rope adope"when I the ring. Foreman pounded the man and he took it all and tyson well the rope a dope didnt matter. I just think in their prime tyson would have walked away with that one
AnonYea tyson was a young wild motherfucker that was a little crazy
Ali never seen nothin like that
i was watching ali frazier 1 the other day that was a brutal hard 15 rounds and mike tyson i think would be a perfect candidate for the rope a dope which was not just holding and tying up but like you say ali would play withs there minds speaking to the opponent upsetting them mike tyson was always an emotional bad tempered fighter especially when things were not going his way
i liked the axe murderer vs the iceman old school ufc.
historical fight: gotta go with a Ali vs Wepner. no-one thought Wepner would last 3 rounds with Ali including people from his own camp. a true underdog story. modern day: Floyd Mayweather, he's not the most entertaining fighter but damb is this guy smart brother Nitti, a master at exchanging punches and picking you apart at your own game once you tip your hat to him. looking for flash and skills I'll go back just a little to Sugar Ray, great entertaining fighter with hands of lightning. brawler: not picking the obvious, Tyson, gotta give props to the hitman, Tommy Hearns. I'll never forget watching the upset of our time when Douglas beat Tyson it was a shock heard around the world, regardless of what personal issues Tyson was dealing with no-one thought it was possible.
AnonWatch close
That douglas tyson fight was an obvious slow count
I remember it
that eludes my memory brother, ok, as soon as I get a few quiet hrs after the kids and wife go to bed I'm going back to that fight. after all I was a youngster when they fought. pops and two older brothers watched this fight, good memories monster... props, Henderson- Bisping great fight!
Scotty bulldog olsen v/s Rogelio Martinez
In 1990 loved to watch this guy box
Has anyone mentioned Don Frye vs Yoshihiro Takayama?
May not be the most skilled but wow those guys went at it!
RustyhookerPulver/Faber. Im a Jens fan so watching an old fart hold tight thru the match was awesome.
I disagree with that decision. That was bullshit. And I'm a Mayweather fan. But he didn't win. Not that wide a margin anyway. 117-111? Wtf was this guy watching ? The one judge had it a draw. That I can accept. One thing to take from this fight , Mayweather is slowing down slightly and Maidana just laid out a blueprint on how to beat Mayweather. I doubt he will give Chino a rematch but he lost this fight.
I think if he wants validation he should give a rematch. Like you said his speed is slowing and he doesn't have much power. If you look at punch stats he dominated, but was up against the ropes way to much. Needs to keep things in the center of the ring.
He landed the cleaner punches. That's what punch stat shows. He always does. But who was busier? Who landed the harder more effective shots? And most of all, Ring generalship is more telling than any numbers. If a 5 year old watched this fight and you asked him who won, what would he say? The guy who kept pressing forward and driving the other guy back in the ropes
Very true, could you imagine if they fought in an 18' ring or even 20', Mayweather always gets the 24', and 10oz gloves I'm pretty sure.
Diego Sanchez v Clay Guida.
Never seen someone dominate so hard while their opponent has full mount. Sanchez with vicious elbow after elbow as he lies on his back splitting Guida's head wide open. Officially made #11 in the top 20 UFC greatest fights, deserved way higher IMO.
This! You beat me to it ha ha . I remember watching it live and I could not believe what I was seeing! Those two really gave it their all!
Lol I was the same. At one point it seemed everything Sanchez threw should have been knockout blows, meanwhile the more Guida got opened up, the more he got fired up
Guida took some insane blows and just kept coming back for more! Even in the fights ive seen guida loose he's still a hand full right to the end!
I saw this one live! Awesome fight!
Mark homnick and Jose aldo
Anderson Silva and Chris weidman
I'm not a boxing fan, its too boring for me and two many rounds. I'm a ufc fan but, back in the day mike Tyson had some damn good fights.
I though Leonard/Duran 1 was pretty awesome. I don't know if it was the hype and being a little kid, but The Leonard/Duran 2 fight aka the No mas Fight wAs even more exciting for me.
This of course dates me and Nitti probably wasn't even born yet. The only Sugar Ray that Nitti is familiar with is a musician.
AnonRambo vs tai stick fighter-rambo 3
Rocky vs apollo 2
Diaz vs cyborg
Diaz vs bj penn
Velasquez vs big foot
Gsp vs serra 1
Anything tyson vs whatever
Have to add Lucas Mattysse vs John Molina to the list. Vicious battle
fight of the year so far. i'm excited about lara vs canelo. to me is a 50/50 fight. canelo can be outboxed by lara easily but lara can also be dropped by canelo easily. arreola vs stiverne rematch should be good. i think stiverne is the best heavyweight right now, aside from the klitschko of course.
Predictions on Mayweather vs Maidana?
I have to go with my head. I would love to see Maidana win in dramatic fashion. But I just can't see it. I don't think this is a great match up for Maidana. One good thing is I doubt mayweather can really hurt him so he has a punchers chance for as long as he can hang in there. But prediction ,....long boring fight yet again. Maybe some moment of excitement when Mayweather allows Maidana to force him to the ropes. But the bottom line is Floyd is a technician. He doesn't make mistakes and he executes his game plan with surgical precision. Makes you miss, frustrates you, which makes you make poor choices and take more risks when throwing punches. Floyd Mayweather is The best counter puncher on the planet. You throw punches he will make you pay. I say it goes the distance and is a land slide for Mayweather. My heart says Maidana KO in the 9th from his gritty never give up attitude and hard clean punches bothering Floyd. Maybe,......
Perfectly said. Mayweather gets a bad rap for being a counter puncher and not being "exciting" but he's boxing in the purest form. Hit and not be hit. Maidana outweighs him tonight by almost 20lbs. Floyd walks around at 147 so he's usually always outweighed. I think he lost his power from the hand injuries he sustained early on. The fight he had against Chico was before the hands became brittle.
I think Vargas vs dela Hoya is worth mentioning because Vargas raged out during the fight and the commission noticed and gave him a drug test and he was dirty because of roids.
Tyson vs Holyfield!
thats what I was thinking...Lol... I ve never seen anyone bite their opponent and fighting with my little sister doesn't count..
I remember that fight I was just a pup and actually remember saying mike just but his ear.
AnonIt would have to be my maori mates fight back in our college days.. This kid was about 70kilos 16 years of age and the single fastest hardest hitting bloke ive ever had the pleasure of watching fight! I mean im sure these pro mma guys would rip him a new arsehole but the truth is you only see them fighting ppl that are in the same class.. Well.. There was nobody even close to this kids class back in his day!
We were all sitting around a bonfire at a massive bush rave we used to have every few weeks in summer.. Anyways there was probably 4 of us fellas kicking back chattin up some random girls around the fire and next thing ya know ol 'Boofa' noticed his bottle of Jim Beam has been knocked off.. He stood up looked around and there it was.. A full grown bloke from the footy team laughing and skulllin on the bottle thinkin he was a fuckin legend!! Boof walks right up and OI CUNT! Where the fuuck did you get that! The bloke said some shit buggered if i remember then boof pushed him.. All the other blokes musta thought it was cute ahah and started edgin him on to give this big guy 'their mate' a good smackin!! And be fucked if im lying ol boof seen red within seconds his entire persona turned DEMONIC! He layed one so flush and so fast this big guy just dropped :/ he just laid there fkn out cold and not movin a bit.. Boof grabbed his bottle and started walkin back over when one of the big guys mates thought hed have a go.. 2 or 3 hits later he was out too. Then another.. Out cold.. Then another.... OUT COLD! He ended up takin on 2 blokes at a time in the end and i SWEAR TO GOD!! He knocked 7 BLOKES out that were all senior footy players all atleast 20-40 kilos bigger and all of them gave it their fucking all!! I reckon boof woulda thrown no more than 2 dozen punches and when these guys fell they fkn stayed their lol!!! I reckon the shortest one stayed outcold would have been 2-3 minutes! One guy didnt get up for a good 15.. He was awake he just didnt fkn move ahaha! A 16yo KNOCKING OUT 7 full grown AFL seniors! Word spread quick tho let me tell yas! Eevery single fkn weekend from that day on there was a new guy wantin to earn a name for themselves and we'd have to put up our dukes every single time we went out! In the end it became lifestyle :/ by the time we were 21 every bloke in the crew would have had atleast 100 fights in pubs, clubs, in the ring.. In gaol.. Fk man our local football feild ended up becoming the ring.. If u had a problem yad call up Big B he'd call the opposition and tell em to be on the feild at a certain date or he'd be labelled a fkn bitch and get a good kicken from all the boys anyways hahah.. I could name 300+ fights man but this one in particular just never gets old... If it was on youtube it would get a million hits per day man it was fkn sensational!
1 kid vs 7 Men! Nuff said
