Excellent post, TitoFan. You're right—it’s a mix of factors. Was the winner the underdog? How were the fighters perceived going in? Were they among the best in their division or the sport as a whole? Your pick of Leonard over Hearns is one that comes closest to my choice of Ali over Foreman (as does Duran over Leonard). Hearns was in his prime, a devastating puncher, and considered one of the sport’s best at the time. Ali vs. Frazier III remains my all-time favorite fight. Great posting.


ykdadamaja, the second Gatti vs. Ward fight was brilliant, as was the entire trilogy. But for me, it doesn't quite make the cut for greatest wins since neither was viewed as the best in their division or among the P4P elite. That said, from the moment the first fight was signed, everyone knew it was going to be a war.


Primo Carnera, I agree—Ali over Foreman is my pick, but this thread has surfaced many fights worthy of consideration. My closest runners-up are Duran over Leonard and Leonard over Hearns.
