    Sorry to be a wet blanket, but Liston-Williams I was in '59. Their second one was one of my fave heavy fights that decade 2.

    Whoops! I lost the script a bit there!
    I think I was thrown by the thread asking if the WBC was the MOST PRESTIGIOUS?

    Right! They are parasites, Boxing survives and thrives despite them. When you have five champions the result is you don’t have a champion at all. Take a look at the thread, what am I missing?

    Some off the top of my head.
    Patterson-Johansson III is enjoyable.
    Liston-Williams
    Frazier-Bonavena 1
    Frazier-Quarry 1
    Quarry-Patterson either one.
