what is the most famous fight in boxing history??

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

Depends of the perspective:

Globally historically talking: Louis vs Schelling: The Übermensch vs the üntermensch, The world vs NAzi Germany, a great fight and revenge for the overlooked black peoples.

Boxing talking: I think that the highest buzz and which did launch the biggest interest for Boxing is the Rumble in the Jungle, Ali vs Foreman. NEver a fight with so much publicity and glamour has been seen before with such staggering purse at the key.

So depending of the perspective, one of these two.

Right,

But we're talking about the most famous fight. The most highly publicized and pumped fight in history is beyond a doubt Ali/Foreman. There has been no bigger event EVER.

Just a for instance...

Take a picture of Joe standing over Max and ask 20 strangers to name both...

...Then take a picture of Ali standing over Foreman and ask them to name both.

Regardless of how old the people are, the image of Ali over Foreman has been seared into the world public's frontal lobes... I understand what Joe and Max meant and how huge an event it was... But it was absolutly not bigger then Ali/Foreman. Looked at objectively this is a fact.
