I would think that you would have to define "famous" and that boxing would have to be divided into temporal periods given the differences in communication etc. throughout the history of the sport.
However, Louis - Schmelling II and Ali - Foreman are the first two that came to my mind when I read the topic.
Nothing will EVER top Louis vs. Max.... Ever
East vs. West, USA vs. Nazi Germany, Good vs. Evil.
Remember reality is an illusion caused by a lack of alcohol .
Thrilla in Manila.
Rumble in the Jungle.
Very few videos or documentary from earlier than these 2.
TYSON vs Douglas
Ali vs Frazier
Ikariam
I suppose once again it's down to personal opinion, the few that spring to mind are the 'Rumble in the Jungle', 'Thrilla In Manilla' of course the louis Max from years back, but the one i will always remember for the one that had it all was Hagler V Hearns. Ok it didnt last as long as some previously mentioned but for pure excitement and thrills that would get my vote

Surely it has to be the Rumble in the jungle, even my mum has heard of that whereas her answer to Louis-Schmeling would be "Who?".

rumble in the jungle
most of the public know that one, they might not know who fought in it but they heard of it
Ali vs. those other guys.
While most of you can make good arguements for most famous or moreso better fights and likely be correct in the better dept, the overall population on the planet knows "Ali was the greatest" and fought them other guys. What were their names again?
The Rumble in the Jungle, no question. That fight transcended the sport.

Some people say boxing is a matter of life or death, it's not, it's far more important than that.
I'm guessing most famous, meaning most well known all around to the general public and boxing fans?
Ali-Frazier 1,3 or Tyson-Holyfield 2.
