    Just watching Patterson Vs Johansson III now. I think it's got to be one of the best heavyweight battles ever in terms of action. Not a total slug fest, with some good skills shown, especially with Patterson's ever watchable moves, but mostly just a battle with a ton of aggression, and both hurting each other multiple times. Curious what fights come to your mind for this.

    Holyfield vs Cooper is a fun rewatch, Holyfield always seemed to go that extra mile in fights.

    Lyle vs Foreman is a classic timekiller

    Holmes-Norton and Holmes-Weaver are good action fights - rounds 15 and 11 respectively are brilliant action rounds.

    Am I the only person who thinks the Ali Vs Norton fights were entertaining?
