    Almost every boxer, in at least one point of their careers, has an opponent that will forever be linked with them in history. Ali-Frazier is the prime example of this, two guys whose careers couldn't be talked about without mentioning the other.

    What are some examples of this; Ali-Frazier is obvious, but what are some others?

    of course we must not forget Valuev - Ruiz. They go together like a horse and carriage.

    Is Duran really Leonard's greatest rival? I would've thought it to be Hearns more than anything. . . . .
