    I am generally not a big fan of this era due to the slow large awkward heavyweights that dominated this era but there were some great fights.

    I particularly like Lewis-Vitali and Sanders-Vitali, both were exciting fights.

    What are your Favourite competitive heavyweight fights from the 2000's (2000-2009)?

    I would add Brewster vs Krasniqui. It was very competetive and ended by KO (actually Krasniqui was KO'ed twice - in the 8th round he needed 17 seconds to get up after that brutal left hook)

    Liakhovich-Brewster was the best for sustained consistent action.
