    Yeah, agreed.

    Bowe - Holyfield 2 (tho you could make an arguement for pretty much any of the trilogy...)

    Lewis-Golota For comedy value, the look of shock on his face :lol:


    But i enjoyed Bowe-holy 1

    Holy - Tyson 1

    Lewis- mercer was a good brawl

    God there were loads of good fights shame the 2000 don't come close to matching up :-(

    Either the first fight, or the rematch. Both were amazing displays of power and solid chins.....

    There's so many great heavyweight fights in the 90's, despite the fact that Bowe didn't meet Lewis and Tyson/Holyfield/Lewis fought each other a bit later than they could've.


    For sheer eb-and-flow action and entertainment value:

    Bowe vs Golota II
    Bowe vs Holyfield I

    Dissecting a fighter perceived as invincible:

    Tyson vs Douglas
    Tyson vs Holyfield I

    Great slugfests:

    Lewis vs Briggs
    Lewis vs Mercer
    Holyfield vs Bowe I
    Ibeabuchi vs Tua
    Tyson vs Ruddock I / II
    Golota vs Bowe I / II
    Morrison vs Ruddock
    Lewis vs Mason

    Dramatic comeback KO's:

    Foreman vs Moorer
    Lewis vs Bruno
    McCall vs Akinwande
    Tyson vs Botha

    Bizzare fights:

    Bowe vs Holyfield II (fan man)
    Lewis vs McCall II (McCall crying and letting Lewis tee off on him)

    Great decade. :bbb

    Good call on Tyson - Ruddock...but I would argue the second was much better than the first.

    Sweet pic of the poster as well!!!

    :good
