    Lewis Vs Mercer - My favourite fight of Lewis, show casing a transitional Lewis who was still aggressive and would throw left hooks, big combinations, body shots, yet had started to learn Sterward's teachings and use his size and strength in close. How Mercer took all those huge shots from Lewis is phenomenal.

    Ali Vs Frazier III - One word, War!!!

    Bowe Vs Golota - A faded Bowe displayed tremendous heart in this fight, he was literally out on his feet several times during this fight. The dedication and some of the skills may have abandoned him but his heart was still as strong as ever, there was no quit in this man. Golota's best showing in my opinion, despite the ending. Dropped early, even had his jaw broken in this fight yet kept it together long enough to end Bowe's career, even the controversial ending couldn't take away from the quality of this fight, the most brutal heavyweight fight since the Thriller in Manilla.

    Foreman Vs Lyle and Ali Foreman were also great heavyweight fights.

    tyson holyfield was good purely because tyson got bullied to death and wanted to quit after the cut. it really showed his deficiencies

    a recent exciting one was Mollo/Szpkilla. The rematch will be on the Season Finale of FNF in August.

    McClellan v benn
    Eubank v Watson 2

    2 brutal contests pushing each other to the maximum. tragic consequences to both fights but 2 wonderfull back and forth fights.

    Apologies. I liked the Tyson v Ruddock and Bowe v Galota fights.

    Enjoyed Lewis smashing Galota and Grant up too.
