Compiling a list of the 50 greatest heavyweight fights

Btw, when I post on it, I will only be covering filmed fights. There will be no limitation on era, although it will seem like there is, just cuz I'm not a big fan before the 30s, and I'm ignorant of the late 90s and 2000s (but working on that!).

 

I understand. I personally don't like to include unfilmed fights in these kinds of things though, cuz I don't know how many fights I've read were amazing brawls and all that **** and then watched them, and was like: "Hell, this is the most boring fight I've seen in months." No joke about that.

 

never took place

 

lol meant Cooper vs Mercer

 

That would take the next year out of my schedule anyway.

 

I forgot who made this thread lmao. I guess I'll keep going lol.

W. Klitscko vs Sam Peter 1 (really fun for a Klitschko fight)
Sam Peter vs James Toney
Tyson Fury vs John McDermmott I
David Tua vs Monte Barret
Fury vs Steve Cunningham
David Price vs Tony Thompson II
Dominic Breazeale vs Izuagbe Ugonoh
Whyte vs Chisora I and II
Wilder vs Ortiz I
Whyte vs Joseph Parker
Wilder vs Fury I and II
Anthony Joshua vs W. Klitschko
Anthony Joshua vs Andy Ruiz I
Fury vs Otto Wallin

I think thats all of em.

 

From the early days, by all accounts, Maher V Ruhlin draw was epic. Jeannette v McVea too and I liked Dempsey-Sharkey. Marciano-Walcott 1 and Holmes-Witherspoon also Holmes-Norton. Recently Povetkin-Whyte and Lewis v Vitali. Oh, and Foreman-Lyle plus Ellis-Patterson.

 

There are some Dempsey fights I like, particularly his destruction of Jess Willard. Absolutely brilliant!

 

Yeah, I don't think many would agree with me. But I just love some of the stuff in that one, and like you say, it's my list.
