    Frazier (and everybody else) expected Foreman to be an easy fight. He didn't train properly. He was prime though. Definetely.

      I guess I'll just have to disagree.

        Frazier did say himself that he underestimated Big George, so he trained his butt off for their second fight. That resulted in Frazier improving his performance by some 10 minutes.... and in that fight Frazier was all but washed up.

          He also changed his style a bit for that fight. He was a little less Smokin'.

              Greb-Tunney series.

              Langford-Ketchel
              Good choices, I know Zale was towards the latter end of his career, but he was still great. So I have say Zale/Graziano Trilogy. Tszyu Vs Mitchell were two fights between two boxers at a similar stage of their creers. Also the Leonard--Hagler--Duran--Hearns Series were between fighters at a similar stage, Duran of course was past his best after 1981 but that was a series............ another that I wish was on film was Beau Jack Vs Bob Montgomery series,,,,... they were legendary.

                The best example of two fighters each at their absolute best, meeting in a legendary fight was Barrera vs Moralles 1.

                Chris Eubank vs Nigel Benn 1 was well matched close to the prime's of each.
