When i was a little girl my dad was a huge boxing fan in the days when ali and joe frasier and all big ones where at their height.
It was before anything was ever televised. All the boxing fans would hire a bua and go and watch the fighta on the cinema in leicester. Usually in the middle of the night and he would wake us up to tell us about it when he got in. I remember when ali changed his name |

As an ex boxer I've seen thousands of fights some memorable others not so
Manila was probably my favourite Ali fight.
The first Duran - Leonard fight for me
The first Leonard - Hearns fight
My favourite fights that featured a British boxer include
McGuigan - Pedroza if you consider Barry to be British rather than Irish.
Benn- McClellan what a scrap with terrifying ending.
Watt - Pitalua, or Watt - Arguello both excellent bouts with different endings for my neighbour
With a wee bit more time I can add memorable fights from
Bruno
Conteh
Calzaghe
Graham
Benn
Eubank
Honeyghan
Watt
Buchanan
Magri

All great fights. Nice to see Conteh and Magri mentioned too. |
