Such a tricky question to answer. I put Ali v Foreman simply because it completed Ali's Legacy in my book. Underdog, so called finished, going in with a young beast that had just Eaten Frazier up to become champion in a manner so brutal it had never been seen before in a World HW title fight. People were even worried for Ali pre-fight that he might get seriously hurt.
and When I say Completed his legacy, the Spinks rematch to be the first 3 time World HW Champ meant nothing to me . Simply because if he hadn't lost his title to a 7 fight novice (albeit a great novice) , he wouldn't have had to regain it!
Former Undisputed 4 belt Prediction champion. Still P4P and People’s Champion.
I think the same as primo, and that frankly it’s not even close. Can you imagine the numbers that fight would have done if it somehow could have happened last year? Mayweather vs pacquiao could have been on the undercard ffs.
The biggest ever fight was Ali v Frazier. Two undefeated heavyweight championship facing each other and at MSG. The world was watching. Stars were out and Sinatra was taking photographs. It was an event. It was simply called The Fight.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Burns v Johnson
If God wanted us to be vegetarians, why are animals made of meat ?
Louis v Schmelling II and it's not even close.
Ali-Frazier wouldn't have been bigger today, they would never even be champ, and Ali's shtick would be seen as boring, cliche rubbish.
Ali today is basically Kingpin Johnson with the looks and sex appeal of David Haye.
Frazier is Del Boy Chisora with the appeal of Bryant Jennings.
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
James Toney versus Sam Peter 1.
Tyson V Spinks , two unbeaten fighters .
Neither dodged the draft either.
Tyson-Spinks is the most iconic for me too. I can still remember as boy all the "Spinks is gonna school him" stuff, and "Ali would have done this, Ali would have done that"... 90 seconds later, Tyson was the most brutal punching machine ever seen.
(That's how I remember those glorious 80s, anyway)
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
^^^ This.
Doesn't matter how each would fare today. Doesn't matter whether you liked either of them or not. Doesn't matter what their records were. The question was plain and simple. Which was the biggest HW title fight ever. It's Ali-Frazier and it's not even close. @Master already spelled out the reasons quite nicely.
Your has a different meaning to the
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
