Re: ~Undefeated~ The most significant/notable fights between two undefeated fighter..
As a significant fight, one of the Guys had lost one. After the Fight, they had both lost one ;D, great Fight. I realised after reading, that you had missed a Big one , you hadnt ;D
Re: ~Undefeated~ The most significant/notable fights between two undefeated fighter..

Re: ~Undefeated~ The most significant/notable fights between two undefeated fighter..
I was 15 at the time of the Frazier vs Ali 1. Biggest fight in my lifetime by far.
Re: ~Undefeated~ The most significant/notable fights between two undefeated fighter..
Just to clarify one thing that the original rough draft I have on my Desktop had well over 150 fights between 2 undefeated fighters. I just had to cut it off somewhere or else the list would deminish in significance of the fight. I will admit though in retrospect I'd leave out Narvaez-Whitfield as well as Thurman-Chaves.

Paul Gonzalez in only his 5th fight beating an undefeated and future division great in Orlando Canizales? Jeremy Williams vs Danell nicholson, ok I need a slap ;D. Hey..wish we saw undefeated American heavys meet that early NOW.
@Spicoli
Good call on all of those Spicoli... I didn't have Chandler-Solis in my original rough draft. Thanks. LMAO at Williams-Nicholson.

And it didn't get much bigger than

If you included Thurman-Chaves you can include
Paul Williams 29-0 vs Walter Matthysse 25-0
Dmitry Pirog 16-0 vs Daniel Jacobs 20-0
@Violent Demise I agree and as I said in my comment at the top. I had so many fights I just cut off the list right there for some reason... I'd def. see one or two that aren't as significant as others I see on the list that I have.

@gest12645 Thanks...

@iwng100 noted... Again I just cut the list off so it didn't make the cut. Good call on it.

@toe2toe noted but didn't make the cut... He also has one vs. Enoki whom I thought would give John a good fight.

@mrbig1 I think it's general sensus that Ali-Frazier 1 is the most significant fight in the history of the sport.
