Reccently, Brian Minto vs Vinny Maddalone, Beck vs Barrett, Mesi vs Jirov,
Going a bit farther back: Lewis vs Vitali, Tua vs Ibeabucchi, Grant vs Golota, Rahman vs Sanders
90's: Tyson Holyfield, Lewis Mercer, Mercer Holyfield, Morrison Ruddock,
The list goes on.
Bottom line: the title of this thread is ridiculous, and there have been a ton of better fights since the 1st Bowe Holyfield fight.
when i was watching that on espn 2 when it came on. i wasnt expecting much but the fight was awesome. big shots and it ending with a ko ,topped it all off.
I'd say Beck v.s. Barrett was about equal to this fight in discussion. Similar circumstances, highly entertaining, both guys faced adversity.
I think since alot of us were starving for a real heavyweight fight we began to savor it a little too much.

I backed off that statement like 3 posts later you sore pussy. :bottle: You're just mad because you were wrong as usual.

Name some heavyweight fights that were better in recent history.

No way was it the best ever. But I'd say the best since Bowe-Holyfield 1 which says a lot.
What have you been smoking?
This was good, but some of you are making way too much of it.
That was the greatest heavy weight fight I ever saw! Congratulations Sergei! Brewster has the greatest heart ever as well! Wow, what a fight!

I think it is just because Sergei and Brewster were not as significant. This fight caught me by surprise. I was like, "oh shit, they are fighting." Both were getting hit hard. Nevertheless, this fight, if it were bigger names, would be an instant classic. It was that good.
Bowe was not that big a name at heavyweight when they fought. He was a former sparring partner of Evander's and Holy was expected to walk right though him.
Anyways....back to the topic.
The fight itself was better than Liakahovic v.s. Brewster because there was even more drama, and the punches landed were so furious and at such an astonishing pace for heavyweights it was unreal.

Great fight but lets get real.
Bowe v.s. Holyfield 1 made this look like a school play.

i agree they both took real good shots there were times were i thought the fight was going to be over for one of them....the hw div. has not had a good fight like this in a long, long, long time probablly since tua vs. ike .....this is def. the front runner for foy so far ..
fought at a slower pace...maybe Lewis vs Vitali...yes Lewis was out of shape and both men are just large and pretty slow...but it was very good for their size...both men were holding on...I had it even while most had Vitali by a round
