    If you take every heavyweight's BEST fight ever and rank them on that only, how do they stack up? For instance:

    1.Ali-Williams

    2.Douglas-Tyson

    3.frazier-ali

    4.Bowe-Holyfield

    5.Tyson-Spinks

    6.Louis-Schmeling

    7.Foreman-Frazier

    8.Liston-Patterson

    9.Lewis-Rahman 2

    10.Holmes-Cooney

    In my case, it's Ali, Douglas, Frazier, Bowe, Tyson, Louis, Foreman, Liston, Lewis, Holmes.

    What's yours?

    An interesting concept, I'll have to use this as an excuse to re-watch some fights!

    Lewis vs Rahman II - is that a joke?

    Surely Ali's over Foreman must be the biggest. Foreman was seen as literally indestructible and Ali was seen as washed-up. The way in which Ali did it was awesome too.

    True but ali was not at his best in that fight. His most improbable win yes but he was far better against williams and folley

    I think a hard training, SERIOUS Lewis is one of the best heavy's of all time. In the second Rahman fight he was pissed and ****ed that guy up

    I thought about adding that one but I wasn't that impressed all around. It was an incredible display but the only guys on this list would have knocked ruiz the **** out

    I think Lennox is certainly in the top 5, but Rahman II wasn't a particularly big win - albeit a very important one.
