When I mean super fight, I mean a fight that not only gets massive attention from the boxing fans, but also gets massive attention from mainstream media. So that means fights like Hagler-Hearns, Hagler-Leonard, Holyfield-Tyson, Tyson-Spinks, Pacquiao-Cotto (a recent super fight), Lewis-Tyson, the Ali-Frazier trilogy, the Duran-Leonard trilogy, etc. My personal favorite is Ali-Frazier III. What's your favorite?
meldrick taylor vs chavez 1 i rember everyone talking taylor the one to stop chavez lived up to build up an taylor almost pulled it off great superfight
Leonard-Hagler was magical, i could watch that fight everyday for the rest of my life :good Tyson-Holyfield was huge, i remember seeing fight posters evrywhere i looked, tyson will be tyson lmao wouldnt call it a SUPERFIGHT though, just one that attracted evryones attention
:good Ditto others Argullo-Pryor I Hearns-Leonard both fights Hagler-Hearns Duran-Leonard Those are the ones that i lived thru as a boxing fan, however the thrilla Manila is hard to beat but i was only 5 so thats i why didnt mention it.
Was Tyson vs Holyfield I considered at the time a superfight. From memory in the UK it was more along the lines of Tyson chewing up an old, shot cruiserweight in preparation for facing Lennox Lewis. Of course Holyfield had plenty more left in the tank than many people believed and dominated Tyson en route to a late TKO. Watch this - even after the fight the myth of Tyson being unbeatable still stands... [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFlIShL85YY[/ame]
