    For me it has to be either:

    Ali KO8 Foreman
    or Douglas KO10 Tyson

    Hard to separate them!

    Ali vs. Frazier I...class warfare in this one...hardworking conservative america vs. liberal free-thinkers.

    Louis vs. Schmeling...Free world vs. evil nazi germany....nothing beats that.

    Also Fraizer beat Ali when he was coming back after a 3 and half year lay off. Joe was in his peak at the time and not rusty.. If he fought the Ali that whipped Cleveland Williams he would have got his arse handed to him..

    How about Schmeling over Louis, Hagler over Hearns, Patterson over Moore, Frazier over Ali, Ali over Foreman, Hopkins over Trinidad, Tarver over Jones?

    In the overall scheme of things the first Fraizer - Ali fight has no equal. The nation, actually world was tranfixed by this fight, reaching into the life of the everyday man, reaching worldwide, far past the just the boxing fans . The fight was truly a monumental event, with the effort of each fighter matching the fight build up.

    Duran - Leonard is probably a distant second, along with Louis - Schemling II and Douglas - Tyson.

    Some may mention the Rumble in the Jungle, but at that time many, maybe even most, where very unhappy with that fight, the rope a dope and excessive holding.

    In My life time Duran over Leonard...1949 Willie Pep's win over Sandy Saddler to regain his title is my personal favourite
