    History, Ali vs Tyson.

    But for all out action, Chang vs Yuh would easily be the FOTY.
    Such a missed opportunity.

    I do not think Chang/Yuh would work. Yuh would either be too cautious content to go the distance, or too cute and win a fairly comfortable decision over the frustrated Chang.

    Ali beats Tyson, but it would be competitive for a long time.

    Can’t go wrong with either, but I don’t think either would be super exciting. Ali-Tyson, Ali probably wins a fight that evokes memories of Tyson Tillis while I think Chang would overwhelm Yuh. So a boring clinch fest or a one sided smothering. I don’t speak Korean so I assume I would watch Ali Tyson, just for the environment...but I would really rather see Chandler vs Pintor!

    Oh cmmonnnn, I know it's cool to promote the lower divisions, and I love them too... but for Christ sake what kinda question is this?

    Chang vs Yuh would be an action fight, but it's guaranteed to go the distance. Both were durable, and neither had the pop to stop the other.

    From a historical standpoint, it really doesn't hold a candle - 108 is one the weakest, and most irrelevant divisions in boxing history.

    Chang/Yuh are both "greats" but neither were in the class in Ali/Tyson.

    The answer is obvious.

    Zarate-Zamora was a one sided blowout - it wasn't some war.

    Zarate kicked the **** outta Zamora.

    Foreman-Lyle was certainly more competitive and dramatic.

    I agree wholeheartedly with the first point....

    I just disagree that competitive and dramatic = quality
