Some good fights there Sonny, not arguing as that would certainly form the bulk of my list. The Brewster v Liakhovich is not ringing any bells with me, but no Ali v Foreman or Marciano v Walcott?

[Schmerzen]

1. ali vs liston 1
2. louis vs schmelling 1
3. ali vs frazier 1 & 3
5. ali vs foreman
6. holmes vs norton
7. liston vs williams 2
8. lewis vs mercer
9. tyson vs berbick
10. lewis vs v. klitschko

i also liked the first fight between holyfield and bowe, or tyson vs douglas..
could easily make a longer list.

Kind of the wrong thread to post that in.
Will say that I doubt you'll get a lot of support for Archie Moore being a top 10 HW.
Not many bigger fans of Moore than me but his record at HW apart from the odd win (Valdes) wasn't too clever.

My favorite top ten heavyweight fights have already been mentioned by one or another. Sonnyboyx2 managed to name five of mine with the thread starter.

But heres ten of my favorites that might be a little less obvious:

1) Walcott vs Louis 2
2) Louis vs Conn
3) Holyfield vs Foreman
4) Dempsey vs Firpo
5) Patterson vs Johannson 2
6) Holmes vs Cooney
7) Toney vs Holyfield ( I quite enjoyed this )
8) Young vs Foreman
9) Tunney vs Dempsey 2
10) Holyfield vs Lewis 2 ( both post prime, but fairly entertaining )

Joey beat me to Baer vs Schmelling ( the last round was savage! ).

Honourable mentions go to Scott Welch vs James Oyabola 2 (for a great British scrap), Tyson vs Ruddock 2 and Ibeabuchi vs Byrd.

GJC... dont know if you have seen the Brewster v Liakhovich fight or not but if you haven`t then you missed a fantastic fight my friend... it is certainly one of the best ive seen and was so brutal that it finished both fighters as neither was ever the same again... here is short highlights of the fight tho i would recommend you watch the Full Fight:
