    ..not realy.yes it would draw big interest indeed..arguably jack dempsey was boxings biggest drawing card.look he had live gates of 1.7 million vs tunney which easly is 30 or more million today.125 000 folks saw the fight live in chicago with 25000 left at the gate that could not get in..several fights of 85 000-100 000 attendence.with live gates equal or better then 20-30 million or more in todays money..all this done without 24-7 internet exposure massive tv coverage large scale advertisement etc etc..any fight with dempsey would be the biggest revinew ever.jack vs marciano louis ali for example all thoses fights would result in unbelievable numbers.

    Personally I would love to see Haye vs Ali ahead of that.

    There ARE many, for sure.. But does Tyson vs Ali run away with it? If the world had to vote on a fight they could actually get to see like this... It would without a doubt be Tyson vs Ali =)

    There are at least 12 fantasy fights I'd rather see than Ali-Tyson. Huge event that one would be, almost certainly the biggest possible, but not much of a great fight I think.

    I think it is. They were both bigger than life and the contrast in styles makes it the ultimate dream match. The only fight that compares is prime Joe Louis vs. prime Rocky Marciano.

    There's something I don't get. To me, Wlad is CLEARLY the superior fighter to Vitali. Wlad hits much harder and puts his punches together much better. Wlad's questionable chin might be a wild card, but in terms of who is more polished, Wlad hands down. I guess a brother match-up is intriguing, but Wlad wins.
