nothing compares to ali-frazier I. two undefeated heavyweight champions with one of them being the most famous man on the planet.
leonard-duran: duran already a legend and leonard the golden boy.
leonard-heans: by now leonard was a legend (having defeated duran) but heans, with his freakish body, was considered unbeatable (his chin had not yet been exposed)
odlh-tito: two undefeated welters in their redhot prime. should've been odhl shining moment but he disappointed by not closing the show. but it was hightly anticipated as these guys were better known by the general public than PBF and Pac, especially oscar.
leonard-hagler: very highly anticipated by the general public but they were considered (especially leonard) past their prime. exceeded the hype, though.
holmes-cooney: highly anticipated but mostly b/c of race.
whitaker-chavez: two best of their era, boxer vs brawler.
arguello-pryer
chavez-taylor: the boxing cognoscente were really into this. lived up to the hype.
