    Thank you! You finally proved Wilder didn't get knocked down from a punch, it was a slip!!!!!!

    Jesus, you have the k fights really low on the list. The Bowe golota fights aren't even top 25, let alone top ten. You're missing rumble in the jungle and the Louis Schemling fights (not thrillers, but maybe the most significant fights of all time). Ikr Tua is too high, especially for a non title belt. Also, for sheer thrills, Vitali Sanders belongs in the top 25. Other than that, you've got most of them on the list, just too out of order.

    It's been a while since I've seen some of these and I remember the Bowe Golota fights, especially 2 being awesome. Rumble in the Jungle wasn't a good fight so much as it was an important fight with an amazing ending. If I put that in, then I have to put a bunch of other historically important fights in that aren't important because of their action. I like a good competitive fight with lots of fighting from the opening bell. I wouldn't put Louis vs Schemling 2 on here because it's too short and to be really great fights I figure they need to go a few rounds. Otherwise, I'd have to list a bunch of Tyson fights. I'm bending the rules including Dempsey vs Firpo partly because both sides did some crazy beat down stuff on each other and Dempsey climbed back through the ropes to win. You don't see that ever. But I'm not including say Dempsey vs Willard because it would be the same as a Tyson, Foreman, Liston beat down. I'll have to rewatch Vitali vs Sanders. I don't remember it at all. Maybe, I never saw it.

    Spoken like a true fanboi...

    If you take your rose coloured glasses off and look closely he actually gets hurt later by a body shot as well..

    That literally has absolutely nothing to do with what people are saying is evidence that Wilder is packing glass. You do know I am talking about the "knockdown" right?

    I have noticed that you like list lol..
    Great job btw. Some on the list are great fights but not necessarily big fights. I don't know where this one rank, but I will call it a big fight which delivers dramatic actions.
