I feel like it's a very special case in that it's a war between two legendary fighters. If that's enough for most people to feel like it's the be all end all fight, fair enough. But every truly great fight gets compared to it, when a lot of those fights were simply far better fights, just not brawls between two legends. The next brawl between legends should be compared to it, but that's about it.

To me it's a really great fight for about 4 minutes tops. That's personally not enough for me to consider it one of the truly great fights, no matter who the participants were.
