My top 5
1. Lennox vs Vitali Klitschko
2. Lennox vs Rahman II
3. Lamon Brewster vs Wladimir Klitschko
4. Corrie Sanders vs Wladimir Klitschko
5. Chris Byrd vs Vitali Klitscko
Corrie Sanders-Hasim Rahman is an underrated war.
:boxing:
Yeah that was a good fight for some reason i though it was in 1999 but i just boxrec it and it was in 2000.
Brewster was in quite a few entertaining fights but nothing in the last ten years has been 'great'
Lewis-VK was good but it was a young hungry fighter against an old unmotivated fighter which took away from how much better it could have been
Boytsov-Gavern. :p
Nah, seriously, I'll say Vitali-Sanders or Vitali-Lennox. I agree with whoever mentioned Wladimir-Brewster I - it was a great slugfest for those 5 rounds. Arreola-Minto was quite good, too.
Brewster is THE most entertaining heavyweight fighter of the last 10 years. his fights against Liakhovich, Wladimir, Krasniqi, and Kali Meehan were all great action fights.
its amazing that Liakhovich was so boring in his next fight against Briggs and then stopped training entirely and turned into a fatty.
speaking of Wlad-Brewster I, that might be the third best heavyweight fight of the 2000s. only 5 rounds, but holy crap what a turnaround.
Brewster was in some very good fights, Danny Williams fights could be in some intresting fights. Vitali vs Sanders was good for the first few rounds but Sanders dreadfull conditioning let the fight down.
Sanders-Vitali was one sided,but even when Vitali was kicking his arse it was so damn entertaining.Lewis-Klitschko was more competitive,but I always enjoyed Sanders-Vitali more.
I love exciting fights at the Staples center
I'd like to thank the topic starter for showing the VK-Lewis fight. I'd almost forgotten how much punishment they both dealt out to each other, by far the most that either has taken in any other fight, and for VK, probably in all his other fights put together. I have the fight, but haven't watched it for a long time.
As for the Brewster-Liakhovitch fight, I have not seen it until now, and I'm amazed that both were able to stand up after each round. I believe that this fight finished both of them as top fighters. They nearly killed each other, and in the 6th rd. Brewster was staggered many times, but kept going.
Micky Ward-Gatti #1 redivivus..........
I vote for this fight - Brewster-Liakhovitch, as the #1. Thank you again for the treat.
Possibly. Brewster suffered a detached retina from this fight. He took a lot of punishment in general. I hear he's still fighting, but I hope for his health he retires soon.
I liked Liakhovich's right hand to the body. Not a common punch, but it was extremely effective in this bout.

Yeah, Brewster made for some good fights due to his toughness and tendency to block punches with his face and body.
Another good HW fight I forgot to mention was Monte Barrett-Owen Beck. Clifford Etienne-Lawrence Clay Bey was good too, definitely outshined the main event of that card in Lennox Lewis-David Tua.
