Greatest MSG Fight

[CutMeMick]

I disagree TitoFan...

Louis vs. Schmeling was USA vs. Germany, I personaly think that is the biggest matchup in boxing history. Not only did it pin 2 fighters but it also pinned 2 entire countries against eachother.

You make a very good point, CMM. And I would personally put that fight in 2nd after Ali-Frazier for the reasons I just posted a minute ago. But yeah... Louis-Schmeling was enormous.

You know... maybe it's not quite that clear cut. Let's say those are the two biggest fights in MSG history. Ali-Frazier because of its implications on boxing's television popularity (and growth after that)... and Louis-Schmeling because of the hugeness of the symbolic USA-Germany confrontation during those times.

I can agree with that...
