    Which fight billings in boxing did you like? I thought Lewis v Tyson dubbed - IS ON, taking the last 2 letters of each name was pretty cool. Also thrilla in manila

    Theres been some good ones over the years, that tradition seems to have fallen off a bit though I'd say, can't think of any good ones lately...

    Has there ever been a fight billed "Payback" ? That would be pretty dope.
    I've also never seen a fight billed as the Last Stand, or Final Battle, but those would be pretty good for a former champ making one last run at it.

    Rage on the Red Sea was good for AJ/Usyk 2. I'm sure there's been Payback. Repeat or Revenge is a pretty overused one

    Ali vs Frazier, the fight. Saud everything it needed.

    Dumbest has to be hopkins vs Calzaghe. Was something like battle of the planet.

    Rahman-Maskaev 2 was billed as "America's last stand", being that Rahman was the only American Heavyweight with a belt at the time.

    The Rumble in the Jungle was a good one as well...

    Rage on the red sea was terrible. Sounded like a sinbad spinoff

    I liked the Canelo-Angulo Toe-to-Toe one.

    Heavy Hitters was nice too. It had one of my favorite fights, Matthysse/Molina.

    Klitschko v Haye was 'The War'

    Turned out not even a skirmish seen during the fight

    I liked Is On, The War for Hagler-Hearns, The Battle of the Champions for Pryor-Arguello 1 and The Carnival of Champions for Gomez-Pintor and Benitez-Hearns (and for many other cards before that in the latter's case)

    We reached the pinnacle with "Rock and Croll" when Gavin Rees and Anthony Crolla fought.

    I liked Fury-Wilder III's "Once and For All"

    Even though I wouldn't rule out Fury-Wilder IV in the future :lol:
