    sure pal :DYou sound very salty that the huge upcoming undisputed HW fight is between Usyk and Fury for some reason.

    I would LOVE you to name those 90 bigger/more significant fights!!! I look forward to seeing your list.

    Definitely a little after Fury served up a stinker vs. Ngannou.

    Fury v. Usyk is still a big fight.

    But over the 40 or so years that I have been watching heavyweight boxing...
    • I think the Tyson v. Holyfield 1 & 2 fights were definitely bigger
    • I think Bowe v. Holyfield 1 & 2, Lewis v. Holyfield 2, and Holmes v. Tyson (God help us) were comparable...and maybe slightly bigger
    Note: After reading @lufcrazy 's comment above - I did drop Lewis v. Klitschko from my list.

    Nowhere near top 3, especially after Fury’s terrible performance against Ngannou. It’s in contention for biggest heavyweight fight of the 21st century with Lewis vs Tyson, Wilder vs Fury 2, and AJ vs Wlad.

    No way, look at Ali`s top fights, the casual person in the street will have no interest in Fury v Usyk, most people don`t even know who Usyk is.

    Vitali wasn`t a big name when he fought Lewis.
