    Tua-Ibeabuchi was in 1997 ppl

    my choices

    David Izon vs Derrick Jefferson: a disturbingly one sided fight with a classic comeback; ended up ruining both fighters
    Liakhovich-Brewster - the last great heavyweight championship fight to date; also ended up ruining both fighters

    Vitali vs Chisora was a cracking fight, bit surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet!!!

    Are you saying that wasn't one of the most entertaining HW title bouts during the referenced time period?

    If you like brawl type of fights then any fight involving Lyacovich, Helenius or Brewster.
    Brewster vs Golota was sick. Also, Vitaly Klitschko vs Briggs was a sadistic fight.

    good answer. it's rare in this heavyweight era to see two big man throw down like that with that type of punch output.it wasn't the most significant matchup at the time but it was a very entertaining and exciting fight nevertheless

    Brewster-Liakhovich was the last great heavyweight fight
    but lewis-vitali was def the heavyweight fight of the decade

    You're criminally underarting Sanders-Vitali.

    For edge of your seat, Tyson vs Danny Williams was a great fight

    Good call. That probably hands onto a top 5 spot.
