    This is actually tough one. I know many might pick Bowe vs Holyfield because its holyfield a former crusierweight champion going toe 2 toe with a big dangerous puncher like Bowe. But too me what tua and ike did in that fight was a damn classic. they bot stand in the middle of the ring the whole time in the whole 12 rounds and not 1 fighter really move in both was nailing bombs after bombs.

    Bowe/Holyfield was far more dramatic.


    Tua/Ike is overrated, some nice exchanges but most of the middle/late rounds is them trading jabs.

    I'm a huge Tua fan. Tua got me into the sport but even i'd still have to say holy bowe, easy.

    Tua-Ike was a more competive fight, thats about it.

    Bowe-Holy 1 was FAARRRR more action packed, and dramatic. Even though, Bowe won by a pretty dominate margin.

    Ike vs Tua a damn good fight, but with Bowe at his short time at the top he had a jab only rivaled by Ali's, Holmes, Liston's, and the Klitschkos. Damn punishing jab probably the most brutal jab of any HW besides Listons. All Holy vs Bowe fights were among the best.

    Holyfield-Bowe I. More action, more drama, more skill. Tua-Ibeabuchi is a great HW fight, but not on the same level.

    Holyfield-Bowe and it ain't close. Big Undisputed title fight!

    10th round is one of the best in history.

    Ike/Tua a class fight though.
