    Probably not the one I would want to see the most badly, but the one I think about is
    '78-'82 Larry Holmes vs. '75-'76 Ron Lyle. I have it a war with both down more than once probably. Larry had exciting fights with lesser fighters than Lyle, so this would be no disappointment.

    Sheer violence, but why at HW?

    I think my favourite fight(s) from the old timers are Max Baer vs Jeffries and Tom Sharkey vs Paul Berlenbach.
