This is the first time I've seen/heard/read somebody try to sell Ali's 'anchor punch' aginst Liston as superior, or even comparable, to Marciano's...
I like Marciano in this one...tough enough both physically and mentally to stand up to what Liston has to give...and as the fight wears on, could...
With a level playing field, I've always liked Johnson in this match-up...strong enough to contain Dempsey in the clinches, cute enough to nick...
Senor Pepe, I must say that a draw is a great shout...truth is, probably neither deserved to lose & the public certainly deserved a second helping...
Imo it's impossible to highlight just one...just a truly magnificent great fighter... For me, if there was aticklist for what greatness in...

This is about as 50/50 as any fight gets, imo. Two great fighters, imo. Holmes gets his just due, Norton doesn't in a lot of cases.
I remember the fight well... I seem to remember reading at the time that Barry's management accepted some 250k (not sure if £ or USD) to box...
I gotta say I like Choklab's line of thought on this subject... I think Young Foreman versus FOTC Frazier is not quite the foregone conclusion...
