    Jofre vs Caldwell.....Jofre even said that he was trying to hurt Caldwell more because he hated him (Caldwell said some trash before the fight)...

    Roberto Duran VS Sugar Ray Leonard I

    Duran was so jealous about all the money and attention Leonard was getting and how he had the million dollar smile, charisma, the golden boy etc. He really wanted to beat Leonard bad and taunted him every chance he got. I think it was real, not just for show. However Sugar ray said when they did a commercial together with their sons he was really cool and affectionate afterwards but the lead up to their first fight was real I believe

    Liston-Clay

    Liston didn't like Clay's mouthiness. He gave him a title fight because he wanted to knock him out.

    Liston wasn't one who hated or disliked his opponents, with the exception of Clay.

    Frazier vs Ali is the greatest rivalry that we've ever had IMO.

    Every kind of implication imaginable was included in their story.
