what is the most famous fight in boxing history??

Most famous is def Ali v Foreman no question...

Some of Jack Johnsons victories over white fighters ended in hundreds of race killings right across the US.. though.

Some of his fights (Jeffries) are right up there with the most important for sure ;)

I know this because of this;D

MUST SEE DOCUMENTARY amazing the stuff you can learn from watching this.


Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise And Fall Of Jack Johnson (2005) - Quicksilverscreen Forum!

Going to have to go with Louis-Schmelling. For what was riding on the fight, Hitler was on that whole aryan thing and Joe shut em down. Master race eh? Gave alot of people hope and there were party in the streets after that. Ali-Foreman was more of a personal thing to me not a country vs another country.

For me ..ALI vs FRAZIER 1. :o
.

ALI vs FRAZIER 1:rolleyes:

My pick would be the famous , Calzaghe vs Manfredo , an unbeaten champion pitted against the very best challenger out there , toe to toe action , evenly matched it had the lot.

ha ha. i thought it was calzaghe v tocker fuckpot or whatever his name was

Calzaghe-Tocker Pudwell? Interesting choice. Any votes for the epic Riddick Bowe-Michael Dpkes thriller?

Or Bowe v Ferguson

The most famous would have to be the Rumble in the Jungle

But for me was Tyson v Bruno 11
I was only a kid at the time I can remember I was so excited and could not wait to see the fight,Bruno talked the talk and I was somewot convinced he might cos an upset,How wrong was I Tyson was fantastic and for me his best performance Post Dougles.

Ha - nice comment.

Also, how about:

Dempsey v Carpentier
Burns v Johnson
Johnson v Jeffries

All momentous historic occasions in their own right.

John L Sullivan v Jim Corbett
