    Not by much.

    Langford almost made the lightweight limit. He was even awarded the title, but it was revoked on closer examination of the weights.

    Ali over Foreman. No one gave him a chance against the formidable Foreman, it wasn't just that he won, it's how he won.

    Armstrong over Ross for me. Langford over Gans is close though. Honorable mention for Fitzsimmons over Dempsey and Charles over Burley.

    Duran over Leonard, though Greb over Tunney is up there as well.

    Surprised no-one else has yet mentioned Langford vs Tiger Flowers. All things considered, that was a very special win.

    Tszyu over Mitchell I & II or Tszyu over Gonzalez has to be right up there, I'd think.

    Very much is. :thumbsup Forgot about Greb-Tunny, Greb-Walker, Duran Leonard. If Walker would have gotten the decision, which he should ahve apparently, his win over Sharkey would be up there as well.

    "Whilst" I'm still in the mood to talk of it after doing so in another thread, I'll nominate, or second Greb vs Walker.

    Since you are new to the forum, I will be serious....

    It was simply sarcasam directed as a kneejerk response, to a few deluded posters here.

    Welcome to the forum!!!!!
