    I would guess Dempsey vs Tunney 120,000 people at Soldier Field in Chicago.

    Cooper v Bugner (showing my age now) may not have been BIG in terms of money or audience but the fight is still talked about even now.Everybody expected "Our Enry" to teach the young pretender a lesson,however Bugner ended up getting a very unpopular decision.

    Haye vs Enzo... Ok just kidding, Gotta be Eubank-Benn II at old trafford! I think it was exactly a week after The Bruno-Lewis Match, with Lennox as a summarizer on the ITV telecast. I still recall him wearing shades sat in the studio, n refusing to take them off when asked by Jim Rosenthal.

    Also Frank Bruno Being interviewed amongst the crowd, and having a bogie hanging from his nose, must have been a cold night lol.

    Leonard/Hearns
    Holmes/Cooney
    Haglar/Hearns
