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.
1900 thru 1909
#1 ....... Joe Jeannette vs. Sam McVea 'III'
#2 ....... James J. Jeffries vs. Robert Fitzsimmons 'II'
#3 ....... Sam McVea vs. Denver Ed Martin 'III'
#4 ....... Joe Jeannette vs. Sam McVea 'IV'
#5 ....... James J. Jeffries vs. Jim Corbett 'I'
#6 ....... Jack Johnson vs. Stanley Ketchell
#7 ....... Tommy Burns vs. Bill Lang 'I'
#8 ....... Gus Ruhlin vs. Tom Sharkey 'III'

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.
Your're not with it Slim Trae,
Sometimes the 'Black & White' photographs are 'better', as it leaves more for the imagination.
Of course Stella Stevens was available 'in living color', but don't you think that this is an interesting photograph.
Just look at her.
* What is she thinking ?
* What is she saying with her eyes ?
* What does her body tell you ?
* Has she just finished doing something ?
* Or is she ready to go again ?
