    Honestly man a Herbie Hide fight doesn't really fall under the category of "biggest fight"

    The credited response is Louis-Schmeling II. The thread should be retitled "second biggest fight that was a mismatch."

    true but at the time brit fans were thinking that herbie could be top of the rung in the heavywieghts. he was a top 10 heavy and in britian got a big reception...then boom knocked off by vitali and that was the end. kinda like audley harrison is today

    Frazier v foreman as folks had frazier the favourite and it turned out to be one sided in both fights.....
    Tyson spinks also,as it was supposedly a 50/50 fight...

    anumber of them come to mind:

    Frazier v. Foreman I like someone already mentioned...who can forget Howard Cossell..."...DOWN GOES FRAZIER...DOWN GOES FRAZIER...DOWN GOES FRAZIER..."

    How about:

    Ali v. Liston II


    Tyson v. Lennox Lewis

    Joe Louis v. Schmeling I & II

    Hearns v. Duran

    Lamon Brewster / Wlad Klitschko rematch
    Klit ain't got dog in him right?
    Brewster quit from Wlad's jab alone and was never in the fight at all.

    Except PBF :D

    Besides, that's like saying Duran was the best p4p fighter at 160lbs when he was fighting there - it doesn't mean a thing!
