    Zale Graziano 1&2 the action and the fights being mirror images of each other.
    Baer vs Carnera, the one sidedness of that beating.
    Dempsey vs Willard, the one sidedness and the “controversy”

    Man I can only imagine the internet after Foreman absolutely destroyed Joe Frazier and Ken Norton.. That guy was as intimidating as they come.. Which brings me to my next point.. The internet would have crashed after Ali defeated Foreman by KO..,

    The first fight between Joe Gans and Jimmy Britt was crazy on just above every level

    Chavez v Taylor. I'm surprised that hasn't been mentioned yet. If it divides the board now, imagine what it would have done had the net been around back than.

    Barbados Joe Walcott vs. Dixie Kid. Walcott was dominating all 25 rounds with ease but he was DQ'd in the last few seconds of the fight for literally no reason. Walcott attacked the ref, and it actually turns out that the ref bet on Dixie Kid before the fight. Mike McTigue vs. Young Stribling 1 was also crazy, since Stribling originally won the belt but the ref overturned the decision an hour later, stating that the KKK was interfering with the decision (they weren't). That would've been insane.

    no it was a crap/average fight apart from the drama of the come from behind KO in the last round.

    Sugar ray leonard vs hearns 1 amazing fight and amazing finish from Leonard
    Chavez vs Taylor just screams controversy about the stoppage
    Muhammad Ali vs foreman obvious
    Ali vs Frazier 1 and 3 another 2 obvious ones
    Gatti vs ward trilogy wow oh wow
    Holyfield vs bowe 1 because it’s an all time classic
    Holyfield vs bowe 2 because of the fan man incident

    just to name a few
