Mccline-Peter had its moments..err...:-X
Damn good point. Memorable? Yeah... I'd have to say that was the last one in MY recollection. Over six FRIGGING years!! Another sign of how far down the HW division has plunged.Quote:

You know, Haye gets a lot of flak here, but I can't help rooting for the guy to at least put on a good show. And I'm glad he talks trash. Anything to stir up this sh*tty division right now. I think Haye would have an uphill climb against either Klitschko, but he's fast, can punch, and... we know Wlad can be wobbled. I'm looking forward to those showdowns as well.Quote:

Wlad Vs Ibragamov was memorable, but for the wrong reasons.
Wlad vs. Thompson the most memorable sparring session of all time
When was the last time a heavyweight title fight was also the Fight of the Year? Well that was 1996 (Vander-Tyson) which wasn'y a "great" fight but was a great upset. I hate to say it but it might have been the 1st Bowe-Holyfield fight. Lewis-Klitschko in 2003 wasn't bad.
Yeah it's been a while that's for sure :(

Lamon Brewster vs Sergei Lyakhovich is probably the best Heavyweight title fight, since 2000 i can think of other better Heavyweight fights since 2000, but not title fights. And obviously Lennox Lewis vs Vitali Klitschko is up there aswell.
Here's some others that wern't bad.
Lamon Brewster vs Wladimir Klitschko 1
Wladimir Klitschko vs Samuel Peter
Samuel Peter vs Jameel McCline
Vitali Klitschko vs Corrie Sanders
Hasim Rahman vs Oleg Maskaev 2

The Klitschko's are getting the same press Lennox Lewis got back in the day. Lennox was in his fair share of snoozers but back then everyone would point to how the fights ended and right now it's no different except the trainers for whoever Wlad and Vitali fight are more willing to throw in the towel.
Someone has to bridge the gap from contender to legitimate THREAT for there to be a meaningful fight and if you can't beat journeymen and other contenders in a manner to make you "scary" in the eyes of fight fans and the media then the Klitschko's will continue to have their way and you bums will continue to cry about it.
As an American I really hope Deontay Wilder can keep putting out solid results and improving.
Ali-Norton III in 1976
I'd discount Lewis v Klit, last for me was Lewis v Tyson.
Why do you discount Lewis-Vitali?Quote:

Danny Williams gave us a memorable effort against Mike Tyson.
Lewis Vitali for me.
If it's MEMORABLE you want, and not necessarily the best, I'd have to say Klitschko vs. Brewster 1. I just couldn't believe Wlad punched so much that he couldn't lift his arms anymore. I was just sitting there going "hit him dude, hit him...he sux!!!" I think I pinched myself 3 times after that fight was over.
