    It made Britain stop. Wilder-Stiverne might be a bit of a wildcard. Lewis-Tyson maybe? De La Hoya-Mayweather had a nice twist with Floyd Sr trying to make a small fortune to be in his sons opposing corner. Schmelling-Louis II is the only one I can think that rivals FOTC and RITJ.

    I think it has to be Louis and Schmelling 2 just before WW2. A lot of people around the world was glued to the radio broadcast.

    You think anyone outside of North America watched Lenord vs Hagler?
