    Hopkins-DLH
    DLH-Trinidad
    DLH-Mayweather
    Holyfield-Tyson II (lived up to the hype BUT for an entirely different reason)
    Leonard-Duran III
    Lewis-Tyson (Tyson getting runover didn't help anything)
    Tyson-Spinks (way too quick of an ending)
    Tyson-BoneCLINCHER Smith

    a fight i think should have been the best ever fight was

    Chacon vs Lopez

    these were 2 of the most exciting fighters of there time and when i saw it on boxrec i thought this fight would have been the greatest ever. I havent seen the fight and people say it was good but it dosent live up to what i thought it would be

    Ali vs Frazier II. One big right hand by Ali in round two, a lot of clinching, and not much else.

    Ali-Frazier 2 was a ref's fight ...

    Anything with Hopkins ... have not seen him in one exciting fight. Dramatic, yes. Exciting, zero ...

    Larry Holmes-Muhammad Ali: Holmes beats up a corpse.

    Lennox Lewis-Evander Holyfield: Neither fight was especially exciting, but the first was a real letdown. A one-sided match, and a horrible decision.
