The Boxing Thread

[SK]

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT AN MMA VERSUS BOXING THREAD

Anyone else here a boxing fan? I used to be a huge fan, then I slacked for a while, now I am getting back into it. Anyway this thread is basically anything about boxing, if you box, or have boxed, drop your experiences, talk about upcoming and past fights, favorite boxers, who is the best fighter of all time, all that good stuff...

I'll start by giving links to some of my favorite fights and highlight reels, even if you aren't much of a fan (yet) these are cool videos to watch.

Hagler - Hearns, one of the best fights ever seen, and its only 3 rounds. Amazing to watch.

Gotti - Ward I, one of the most brutal fights ever, and also with the most heart ever displayed in the ring.

The Greatest, Muhammad Ali
I picked this video because it was interesting to see the sheer force and speed of Ali.
