    I'm not really a big fan of the Heavyweight division, I prefer the mobility and speed of the little guys with their ability to put together frightening combination's, but that's not to say I completely disregard the division. I think some of the most exciting and compelling fights to ever take place in the ring have involved Heavyweight combatants. Here's my list.

    1. Evander Holyfield vs Riddick Bowe I
    2. Muhammad Ali vs Joe Frazier I
    3. Riddick Bowe vs Andrew Golota II
    4. Bert Cooper vs Michael Moorer
    5. Larry Holmes vs Ken Norton
    6. Muhammad Ali vs Joe Frazier III
    7. Evander Holyfield vs Michael Dokes
    8. Joe Frazier vs Jerry Quarry I
    9. Donovan Ruddock vs Mike Tyson II
    0. Vitali Klitschko vs Lennox Lewis

    Lists?

    You think Ali-Frazier 1 is better than their 3rd tussle?

    Absolutely.

    I think people tend to forget just how good the first fight was. It was incredible, every bit as good as the Thriller, only with Frazier being much more competitive and winning it. Watching Ali go down on the end of that left hook is a more dramatic moment than anything we saw in their third fight. I love both of their encounters, no arguments with those who disagree with me, but the FOTC was incredible.

    Frazier vs Quarry? Really? It was just one-sided ass beating, dunno how it was called fight of the year, must have been a shitty year for boxing.All Quarry did was winning the 1st round and quiting after Frazier beat the **** out of him , nothing special IMO. i Would replace it with lets say Brewster-Liakhovicz? Foreman-Lyle Or any Holyfield fight. Also no Tua-Ibeabuchi? Some say its the greatest thing ever.
