Bigger HW Title fight?

What do you feel was the biggest HW title fight of them all?

[Primo Carnera]

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!

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.

[Ron Swanson]

Louis v Schmelling II and it's not even close.

Johnson v Jeffries was even bigger.

^^^ 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
