      As much as it hurts me to say, Douglas vs. Tyson was probably the most dramatic which made it exciting in itself. I am and always will be a Tyson fan, and that is one reason this fight was so incredible. Anytime a 42:1 underdog wins, you know it has to be exciting albeit sad for us Tyson fans, and who didn't jump for joy when Tyson dropped Douglas in a last ditch effort only to realize that it was too little too late.

          Thrilling? Tyson - Douglas hands down.

            Douglas vs. Tyson by far the most exciting

            Hollyfield vs. Ruiz 1 & 2 by far the most boring & unwatchable

              I didn't think it was the most thrilling fight, but it was certainly the most thrilling conclussion.

                Most Boring would have to be Ruiz vs. Rahman...

                  No title on the line but Ibeabuchi Vs. Tua. If you haven't seen it I still think it's available on the video download thread. Two Heavyweights throwing punches like Featherweights!

                  Other good ones:

                  Jefferson Vs. Harris
                  Holyfield Vs. Bowe I & II
                  Tyson Vs. Ruddock I & II
                  Bruno Vs. McCall
                  Grant Vs. Golota
                  Holmes Vs. Mercer
                  Holyfield Vs. Foreman
