I think it's Ali over Foreman. Not only did Foreman destroy the guy Ali went tooth and nail with twice and lost once but George was the hardest hitting most physically imposing fighter of all time, and it's just the fashion in which Ali did it. He let the biggest most powerful guy lean all over him and tee off on him and Ali just took it until George couldn't go anymore.
If there is a more spectacular performance out there I haven't seen it. The other two were very good performances, legendary performances but the last one was the stuff of absolute Gods. Hands down it's Zaire imo.
A lot of Ali's legend is overblown to an extent but this is one case where it isn't. Get goosebumps thinking about it really and I would sell 30 years of my life to be ringside that night.
