    Foreman against Lyle is one of my personal favorites. Incredible display of willpower and heart from both men, start to finish.

    Morales-Barrera I reigns supreme as the greatest fight of all time.

    Biggest shocker for me was Buster Douglas KO'ing Mike Tyson in Tokyo.

    Darn it, I was gonna say this one, lol.

    Corrales-Castillo 1
    Hagler-Hearns
    Ali-Frazier 3
    Douglas-Tyson

    I would say you couldn't go wrong saying any one of these.

    Why are people putting Douglas Tyson as the greatest fight in boxing history....It's not even Top 10...probably not even 20.

    This isn't biggest upset..but greatest fight.

    Really "Great" needs to be defined. Fight with most historical significance?

    There are lots oldschool fights which haven't been mentioned.

    Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran 1 was the best fight between equally matched fighters that I ever saw.

    Hagler-Hearns. I didn't see the older great fights and watching old videos on YouTube don't do it for me.

    Foreman/Lyle and Hagler/Hearns, however, this question really can't be answered as there were so many great fights in boxing history.................

    I liked Leonard-Duran I. A fight that drew incredible worldwide coverage and one that was quite good. IT was also nice seeing Cosell nearly cry...LOL

    Quite a few good fights over the years though.
