    ----------

    I'm talking about great, really exciting fights from the last 15 years.

    I think that, obviously, we have to mention Klitschko-Lewis. At the time it was a very exciting fight. Now, after 10 years, it produces a lot of arguments. All that makes it one of the most memorable bouts in heavyweight history, imo.

    Other one that I remember is Brewster-Liakovich (2006). It was only for the WBO belt, but it was a beauty.

    Recently, I read comments about Povetkin-Huck. Will it be remembered as a great fight?

    I also remember Tua-Ibeabuchi. Brewster-Wlad was short but entertaining, although not "great".

    Which are the best HW fights since 1997?

    when you say "best" it gives the perception of quality. You should say which heavyweight fights sucked the less or were not that bad. :bart

    Derrick Jefferson-Maurice Harris was a very entertaining fight.

    Clifford Etienne-Lawrence Clay Bey, Lennox Lewis-Shannon Briggs, and Monte Barrett-Owen Beck were also good.

    Liakhovich-Brewster was the best though, IMO.

    ^ This :good

    Sanders-Klitschko was a one-sided beatdown, although very good, but it can't compete with Brewster-Liakhovic

    Please stop putting "best" with heavyweight past 1997.
