This was tougher than putting together a list of the 5 worst.

 

Tyson - Holyfield 1

Really sticks out as the number 1 for me , some other good fights but no great ones !!!!!!!!

As it happens i have just watched Tyson the movie , that **** is so deep i was crying 3 times !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Evander Holyfield-Riddick Bowe 1 and 3
Bowe vs Golota 1-2
David Tua-Ike Ibeabuchi
Tyson vs Douglas
Lennox Lewis vs Vitali Klitschko
Holyfield vs Mike Tyson 1
Lennox Lewis vs Holyfield 1
and Lewis vs M.Grant :nut

 

Holmes vs Spinks I - on the verge of breaking Marciano's record, 15 rounds and a new Champ
Tyson vs Buster Douglas - a huge upset and a great fight in Tokyo Jan 1990
Holyfield Bowe I - undefeated records on the line in a even odds match that lived up
Moorer Cooper - guys going down and getting back up in a battle of bangers
Holyfield Bowe III - Hard fought rubber match with Bowe down for the 1st time & Holy out for the 1st time

 

Simply not true.

Holyfield vs Bowe 1 is in my top 10 fights of all time. It's insane.

Golota vs Bowe 2, Moorer vs Cooper, and Klitschko vs Lewis are all great fights.

 

You are not the only one mate! I cried watching it. Tyson goes deep, deep! Its clear he is still some-what bitter & angry about his time in Prison for a crime he claims he is innocent of!

Imagine it - if you felt you had served prison time for something you have not done! How would one be able to deal with such a thing? Forget his Boxing career, Tyson insists his is innocent of the crime, so when he went to Prison, his feedom being taken away from him, looking back his career was over when he went away! His life would never be the same!

 

Since 1985:

-Tyson/Douglas
-Holyfield/Bowe
-Holyfield/Bowe II
-Tyson/Holyfield
-Tua/Ibeabuchi
-Klitschko/Lewis
-Brewster/Liakhovich

 

Bowe-Golota 1
Bowe-Holyfield 1 & 3
Lewis-Klitschko
Tyson-Holyfield 1

 

the tyson movie was good but his beyond the glory episode i thought was much better

 

GREAT lists guys but c'mon, Holyfield-Cooper is one of my favourite fights EVER and i think it should get a nod here

 

Holyfield-Dokes
Moorer-Cooper
Bowe-Holyfield 1
Bowe-Golota 2
Jefferson-Harris

Tough to narrow it down to 5. Others like Mercer-Cooper, Holyfield-Bowe 2 and 3, Lewis-Klitschko, Liakhvovich-Brewster, and Etienne-Clay Bey were all terrific fights too.
