    Which one was the best? Everybody is still abuzz about Klitschko-Joshua but for my money, Brewster-Lyakovich is still the best.

    Klitschko vs Pulev deserves a honorable mention.

    I might be alone here, but I love Haye-Chisora.

    Best in terms of lineage at stake, quality and ranking of fighters and attention the fight got its Wlad vs. AJ. Lewis vs. Vitali didn't receive much mainstream attention until after the fight was over.

    for entertainment Rahman vs Maskaev 2 was a good fight

    All of Brewsters title fights especially krasniqi and liahovich.

    besides the obvious ones I can't think of anymore title fights that were exciting

    The biggest objectively speaking in terms of historical significance was Vitali vs Lewis.

    Lewis will in time be ranked the number 1 HW of all time, and that Vitali fight is a major part of his legacy. Vitali also proved a lot that night, as his career opposition was hardly stellar.

    in terms of legacy, its not vitali lewis - tyson lewis ha far greater legacy.


    vitali lewis was just a retiring champ taking out a bitpart minor but prime titlist in a few rounds.

    Price V Hammer for the comedy value of watching a professional HW gas out after 2 rounds and then watching Penfold interviewed afterwards.

    We'll that's the most hilarious anyway.

    Lamon Brewster vs. Sergei Likahovich was awesome.

    Lamon Brewster vs. Wlad Klitschko (first fight) was awesome - Brewster got off the floor to stop him.

    Mike Tyson vs Danny Williams (Williams got off the floor to stop Tyson)

    Danny Williams vs Mark Potter (Williams stops Potter with one arm)

    Oleg Maskaev vs. Hasim Rahman II (Maskaev another come from behind win against The Rock)

    Lennox Lewis vs. Hasim Rahman I (Monster upset)

    Lennox Lewis vs. Vitali Klitschko (Amazing win in Lennox's last fight)

    Sam Peter vs. Jameel McCline (Peter gets up from multiple knockdowns to win)

    Alexander Povetkin vs. Marco Huck (controversial decision)

    Evander Holyfield vs. John Ruiz II (Ruiz floors and upsets Evander)

    Wlad Klitschko vs. Sam Peter I (Wlad gets off the floor several times to win)

    Wlad Klitschko vs. Anthony Joshua (both guys down)
