    Holyfield vs. Bowe I & II
    Tyson vs. Holyfield
    Foreman vs. Moorer

    That should give you a good start on Heavyweights, you can find a lot of these fights on youtube.

    Nice list. You must be a fan of HWs.. I'd like to add some contemporary greats such as Brewster/Liakhovich and Lewis/Vitali to that list. I can't believe there are only few great HW fights in the last decade.
    I'm a fan of all weight classes, but generally speaking, in the last 100 years of boxing, nothing beats a great HW fight for excitement. I could have included exciting HW fights from the last 20 years, but I figured Tozzer might have seen most of those.

    Lewis - Vitali would have been a good one to add, Lennox was the only fighter I can recall actually holding his own and/or being on an equal par with Vitali. And this was an older, out of shape Lewis in the twilight of his career, it made me think that Lewis was one of the 10 best HW's ever.

    Leonard V Duran 1 'The brawl in Montreal' It's what boxing is all about, the new wave versus the old wave, remember Duran had been fighting for 12 years before this fight. He was the undisputed king of the Lightweight division coming up against new Welter king Leonard who had beaten the great Wilfred Benitez. Duran was awesome this night, he intimidated Leonard, (look closely at the pre fight ref instrcutions, Leonard knew he was in the ring with a monster) The atmosphere of that fight will never leave me. Sadly, we never saw the best of the Hands Of Stone ever again.

    Wladimir Klitschko vs Sultan Ibragimov. Non stop action for the full twelve rounds. I'm actually surprised both men even came out alive.

    On a serious note there are quite a few out there but I think my favourite is still Hagler vs Hearns. Every now and again I change my mind, normally when there is a classic that comes along like Barrera vs Morales 1 and Gatti vs Ward 1. But I always end up going back to that fight. The only problem with it was it didn't last long enough but 2 seriously world class guys brawling like that is just something else. Then the cut and Hagler "supposedly" being told he had a round to finish Hearns and then doing so. AMAZING.

    I'm surprised there has been no Hollywood movie on Hagler, he was a superstar who made it to the top despite being avoided and written off for a long time. That would make a great film for me, BUT it would have to have original footage of his fights like they do in the Greatest. No actor could ever act the scene in the Hagler Hearns war.
