Imo it was one of these three (without going WAAY back into time): 1) Ali/Foreman 2) Ali/Frazier 3) Hagler/Hearns
HMMM NO!! Gatti-Ward is like Bika-Codrington. Exciting, yes Superfight, no. A superfight is a fight that involves big names in boxing and turns out to be an exciting fight. Morales-Barrera Vasquez-Marquez Hagler-Hearns.
Best Superfight IMO would be Hagler/Hearns Most important and significant match-up would be Louis/SchmelingII. As was said rather well by Jimmy Cannon: "Louis was a credit to his race that night; the human race."
Best fight imo hagler v hearns Biggest either jeffries v johnson, schmelling v louis 2 or ali v frazier 1 can't decide which
Easily Ali-Frazier 1 Not only was this two undefeated heavyweight champions and a perfect clash of opposite styles; but this was a cultural and social phenomenon. No other superfight had these type of dynamic as the first Ali and Frazier fight.
The fights that were mostly talked about: Jonhson -Jeffries, Tunney-Dempsey II, Louis-Schmeling, SRR-Turpin, Ali-Frazier I, Ali-Foreman, Ali-Frazier III, SRL-Duran I, SRL-Hearns I, Hagler-Hearns, SRL-Hagler, Whitaker-Chavez, Hoya-Trinidad, Hopkins-Hoya, Mayweather-Hoya, Mayweather-Hatton.
