    Barrett was green when he took on the Wladimir. Here, he had already earned the distinction of "Greatest to never win the title".

    No Bowe-Holyfield? All three of those fights are epic.

    Good list. I've always found Holmes-Cooney overrated,though. Cooney got a few good punches in,but it was virtually all Holmes,imo.

    YES! "Holy-Bowe 1 or 2" could be on my list too, but, inpsite of it all, I never cared for Riddick Bowe's persona or character at all..... Yet, no matter what, the series was great...

    Well I'm about 5 years older than you so the contrast in lists might be interesting..in any event here's mine

    Ali - Frazier III
    Ali - Foreman
    Foreman - Lyle
    Foreman - Stewart
    Holmes - Cooney
    Tyson - Douglas
    Tyson - Ruddock
    Holyfield - Bowe I and II
    Lewis - Klit / Lewis - Briggs was also a good fight

    1- cassius clay vs sonny liston(shock at the world)
    2- george foreman vs joe frazier ( nobody could imagine that anyone could smash frazier like foreman did)
    3_ali vs foreman (shock at the world 2)
    4_joe frazier vs ali 1 ( the best joe frazier ever)
    5_ mike tyson vs trevor berbick( berbick was a decent fighter but he did look like a joke , eclipsed and destroyed like a dummy by tyson).
    6_evander holyfield vs riddick bowe 1-2, (what a wars)/ ali vs frazier 3 (tie)
    7_ jack dempsey vs jess willard( the teeth of willard did fly on the ring)
    8_larry holmes vs spoon / larry holmes vs norton(tie)
    9_george foreman vs michael moorer( the oldest hw champ ever)
    10_sonny liston vs patterson (the real champ exposed to the gentleman)
