    The Bowe v Holyfied trilogy was great, but for me the best Heavyweight bout of recent times was Ibeabuchi v Tua. It was a breathtaking fight.

    Holyfield-Bowe trilogy was truly astounding.

    It wasn't a fight with much credability or or even fighter of world class calibre, but rogan vs skelton was one of the best heavyweight fights i have ever seen...

    Agreed.....a great fight that I'd rank up there with Tua vs Ike.

    Bowe-Holyfield trilogy is unsurpassed in modern times.

    Lewis-Vitali was great as well, even though it was scrappy, it was a proper battle of wills.

    Tyson-Holyfield 1 is good but overrated, it was probably a lot better live when the outcome was unknown.

    Lyakhovich-Brewster and Bidenko-Virchis were great fights

    Ali-Frazier III?

    What the heck are we classifying as "modern"?

    maybe not quality like holy-bowe trilogy, but derrick jefferson vs. maurice harris is one of the funnest fights to watch. multiple knockdowns, mouthpieces flying, in one knockdown harris gets smacked, is out on his feet motionless for a second, then falls like a mannequin to the canvas. my hats off to these 2 warriors and glad no one got seriously hurt.
