The greatest EPIC fights that lived up to the bill...

[frasd]

I'm not talking about surprise classics like Gatti vs. Ward, but about fights that were billed to be all that and then delivered on the epic of the epic. In order, my collection:

1. Ali vs Frazier 1

2. Hearns vs. Hagler

3. DLH vs Trinidad

4. Bowe vs. Holyfield 1

5. Tyson vs. Holyfield 1

6. Mosely vs. DLH 1

7. Chavez Sr. vs Taylor 1

8. Jones vs Tarver 1

9. Norton vs. Holmes 1

10. Benn vs. Eubank 1

What are yours?

Cotto - Maragarito 1 despite what happened afterwards and 2 - maybe because of what happened previously

I am guessing for a buzz Louis/SchmellingII should be listed.


The Duran/Leonard fights (excluding III) lived up to or above the hype.


Hagler/Leonard I think went above the hype.
