    Ron Lyle vs. Earnie Shavers

    Just count the punches {'bombshells'} that landed.

    Wow what a fight! 8 ounce gloves. Mental power and no skill.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I was going to say Toney/Jirov but I believe that was actually cruiserweight.

    Corrie Sanders v Hasim Rahman was fun. Alex Stewart v Ezra Sellers is one of the best heavyweight wars I've ever seen.

    We all know the Vitali vs Lewis and the Bowe vs Holyfield fights were kind of unbeatable in terms of action and excitement.

    Another shout out for what must have been the top of the food chain in this category. Unfortunately no film exists but on a damp foggy evening in France in 1909 the world saw Jeanette vs McVey/McVea 3 in a fight to the finish. In all accounts I have come across, it delivered.

    Round 15... Norton vs. Holmes... June 1978

    One of the best Round 15's of all time... and quite a slugfest with everything on the line.

    Not heavyweight but Holyfield vs Qawi was amazing.

    Ernie Shavers vs Tex Cobb was a doozie.
    Was Bert Cooper vs Ray Mercer mentioned? Mercer won with a balloon jaw....this was a hellatious scrap!!
    Moorer vs Alex Stewart was pretty entertaining among with the Cooper fight called here.


    Bert Cooper is why I made that journeyman thread awhile back. An up and comer had to walk through fire if Cooper was the opponent.
    All's lost! Everything's going to shit!
