*****. neither mosley nor jmm have come close to being considered the best fighter ever. at times of their defeats, both leonard and ali were.
Douglas v Tyson for me... the indestructable man got taken the **** out by a man that had no chance going into the fight
So, you don´t think a fw moving up four weightclasses to beat the welterweight champ is better than any of this? Especially considering the ww is a consensus Top10-15 p4p atg.
I voted ali foreman but it was a tossup between that and of course douglas beating tyson 101 relplies but only ten votes?
Wtf, "low reward"? It was the single biggest available reward available to Robinson in his entire career up to that point and for some time thereafter. It was massive reward.
In terms of hype it probably is ali foreman But no doubt the greatest has to be tyson douglas, you wont get a better story and more jaw dropping moment like that
I hate to say it because I'm not exactly a fan, but Duran beating Leonard is probably the best win from the list. Leonard is top5, arguably top3 welter of all time in his prime, and top20 p4p of all time. Duran is smaller yet managed to beat him. Of course he was a disgrace in the rematch, but we're just talking a single win here... Followed closely by Frazier vs Ali. I think Ali was still very close to his best and left part of him in that brutal night, just like he would later in Manilla... Frazier is an inspiration. Tyson vs Douglas as well as several others are close as well.
