    Where do they rank as far as great heavyweight fights? I think they were damn good fights that were exciting. I enjoy watching them to this day. Where do you rank them?

    Pretty high. I loved all 3 of their fights.

    It was a rare trilogy where all 3 fights were very good.

    I look back now on them as 3 great heavyweight fights, especially the first one. The second was gruelling and the third dramatic. But at the time I only enjoyed fight II- Evander's win. :happy

    Holyfield v Bowe I was one of the greatest heavyweight fights ever. Maybe not quite as good as Ali v Frazier III, but its right up there.
