My Top Ten varies if we are discussing classic Heavyweight fights then these are the ones I think of the most. I like you included Bowe Vs Golota 2 it wouldn't be Top Ten for me but I like seeing what people choose for their Top Ten. I thought about including Holyfield Vs Foreman and Mercer Vs Morrison but I suppose they aren't quite Top Ten for me personally. I could see Briggs Vs Lewis going in there somewhere for something else on my list but not sure what?

 

1. Liakovich—Brewster
2. Joshua—Ruiz 1
3. Harris—Jefferson
4. Tyson—Ruddock II
5. Wilder—Fury 1
6. Holyfield—Dokes
7. Holyfield—Bowe 1
8. Ettiene—Clay Bey
9. Povetkin—Whyte 1
10. Wilder—Ortiz 1

 

Lewis vs. Holyfield '99 was a pretty good, high level fight. Underrated. Holyfield didn't quite do his usual "let's have a long, knock down, drag out. no matter the opponent". He put some skills on Lewis better than that. I think he won that fight.. not many others do, though. All to do with Holyfield's jab to the chest, moving Lewis back

look at Lewis trying to stare him down constantly before the fight. What a nerd. Old Holyfield should have knocked him out, like Usyk should have knocked out Fury.

 

Ironically the rematch could have been a draw you could argue the case for 6-6 Or 6-5-1 for Lewis or Holyfield either way. If Lewis had offically won the first fight and the rematch had been a draw or Holyfield won a close decision /split decision there could have been a 3rd fight?
