    Foreman might actually have the two best wins in the history of the division, a couple of decades apart!

    Hard to top demolishing an unbeaten heavyweight champion and Hall of Famer in two rounds.

    Frazier was a lot more dangerous h2h than Patterson!

    It probably was the most awesome winning of the Lineal Heavyweight title, but Tyson blowing through Spinks in 91 seconds was pretty spectacular as well.

    Absolutely. Foreman vs Frazier had the upset element. Liston vs Patterson had more of a mugging vibe. Tyson vs Spinks didn't have the same impact because felt like Mike was just picking up his last belt.

    Vitali Klitscko winning the much respected WBO belt off the legend Herbie Hide in a thrilling performance.

    Its amazing how people today minimize how important Tyson-Spinks was at the time.
