What was the best year in heavyweight boxing history? My pick would be 1996. Lennox Lewis vs. Ray Mercer Evander Holyfield vs. Mike Tyson I David Tua vs. John Ruiz Riddick Bowe vs. Andrzej Golota I Riddick Bowe vs. Andrzej Golota II
Yep,that was indeed a terrific year.1974 was pretty good with Ali vs Frazier 2 ( a rather underrated fight ) and of course the Rumble in the Jungle. Frazier vs Quarry was a bit one-sided but it illustrated that Smokin'Joe was far from finished. Foreman vs Norton was another one-sided fight but this was Foreman at his most brutally destructive.
1974: Ali Vs. Frazier 2 Ali Vs. Foreman Foreman Vs. Norton 1973: Ali Vs. Norton 1 and 2 Foreman Vs. Frazier 1
I agree. And I would also add: Ellis-Bugner Ellis-Lyle Lyle-Bonavena Bonavena-Middleton Shavers-Young Kirkman-Norton Kirkman-Lyle I immediately gravitated to 1974 as well, because as one can see, they were all fighting one another. Good times.
