    Just watched Maskaev vs Rahman 1 and 2. 1 is the good one and it's in the late 90s. The second wasn't actually that great.

    8 of the 11 rounds of Klitschko/Joshua were not remotely entertaining when discussing what is the best HW title fight of the last 17 years. The significance was extremely high no question. But minus the rounds where a KD occurred, the fight was Klitschko on the back foot evading and flicking out his slap-jab (what it had been for a couple years by then) while Joshua lands a good shot or two here and there.

    Lewis/Vitali ("Lennox b*tched out" is true but less true than "TKO6," either way I wish this wasn't the probable and safe answer) and Brewster/Liakhovich for me.
