    Foreman vs Moorer
    Ali vs Foreman
    Douglas vs Tyson


    ..................what about Holyfield vs Tyson..? Now i can actually remember that fight, and as a youngster, people talking about it, and the news reports etc

    Jack Sharkey being starched by a far lesser talent in Primo Carnera.

    Marciano was the favorite over Walcott. I can't see why that fight caused shock waves.

    Of the ones you name, I would say the Foreman fight.

    But Baer-Braddock and Douglas-Tyson are right up there.

    Anyone know the odds the Spinks bros were paying in their title winning efforts?
