    Not in order

    Johnson vs jefries (it was funny)

    Cassius Clay vs Liston 1( the world never saw anything close to this kid in a hw)

    Frazier vs bonavena

    Foreman vs lyle( george proved that he was not the classic bully who could not win a fight after being badly hurt like Tyson)

    Ali vs Frazier 1 actually was crappy because Ali was not in his prime at all but it was an important fight in history

    Tua vs ruiz. Wow what a destruction

    Joe Louis against Max Baer ,Louis coutering pretty well

    Morrison vs Ruddock

    Bert cooper vs Holyfield

    Marciano vs Walcott 1

    Dempsey vs willard

    Holmes vs Norton

    Lyle vs Shavers (what a brutal ko hitting again and again and again)

    Fury vs wilder ,what a class

    Vitali vs lewis

    Joshua vs wladimir was packed of action

    Floyd patterson vs ingo johanson the second fight

    Liston vs Cleveland Williams

    Ali vs Foreman

    A lot of fights

    1. The Thrilla in Manilla, although I hate it as well because it ****ed both of them up so much.
    2. FOTC
    3. Holyfield v Dokes
    4. Big George v Ron Lyle
    5. Larry v Kenny Norton
    6. Holyfield v Bowe 1
    7. Ali v Spinks 2. Muhammad was shot to **** but thank God he had enough to regain the crown.
    8. Lennox v Vitali. Poor Vitali. I thought his face was going to fall off.
    9. Lennox v Mercer. I thought Ray edged it.
    10. Tua v Ruiz. I really don't like Ruiz so I was very happy about the result.
