As a fan, there's just something less "satisfying" about a corner stoppage of a guy with serious eye issues as opposed to knocking a guy silly. Lewis-Rahman 2, Tarver-Jones 2, Robinson-Fullmer 2, Louis-Conn 2 Although I was rooting for Rahman and Jones, I love highlight reel knockouts.
Exactly my thoughts!!!! The first half of the fight I was :yikes The second half I was :rofl Since then I've been
Three way tie: Joe Louis vs Max Schmeling II Roy Jones Jr. vs Montell Griffin II Lennox Lewis vs. Hasim Rahman II It's hard to top any of those for me, based on events leading into all three rematches. Tarver-Jones II gets an honorable mention.
The great part about Louis-Schmeling history is that the pugilists became very good friends with one another later in life, despite so much... "political weight"... affecting their fights during that era.
Louis-Schmeling 2 is a lock for number 1. Cotto-Margarito 2 Zale-Graziano 3 KTFO6 although now that's tainted because Marquez looked suspicious.
