Are there any ATG heavyweights that actually fought each other at both their peaks?

    Again, Ali wasn't prime in the first one.

    Patterson and Spinks weren't prime.

    I agree, later Ali was stronger.


    Frazier vs Foster
    Ali vs Foster . . . Ok technically Foster was not an all time great AT heavyweight.

    -Louis vs Schmeling
    -Clay vs Frazier
    -Tyson vs Spinx
    -Bowe vs Holy
    -Lewis vs Klitxhko (OK Lewis's last fight, but he was still fighting at a high level by the end of his career)

    Holyfield-Bowe and Norton-Holmes/Foreman may fit the description, depending on your ranking of Bowe/Norton. Outside of that, no.

    Holy-Bowe is a good call. Bowe was a near-great, I would say.

    Ali-Frazier obviously has to be up for some consideration. Ali was not peak, but he was pretty damn good still, and in some respects he was a better fighter in the 70's.
    Joe was as good in that fight as he could ever be.

    The problem with Tyson-Spinks is that Spinks in no way was a Great heavyweight. Not even close, I'm afraid.

    They're both going in the hof and I'd favor both over Norton.
