    The greatest series of fights Ever?

    Boxing has seen some classic rivalries and some amazing series of fights, Ali/Frazier, Barrera/Morales, Holyfield/Bowe, Robinson/LaMotta and the list goes on.

    Which one of those mentioned or any others, are your favourites and why?

    The greatest in a historical sense, and my favourite, would be Ali-Frazier.

      For me, the greatest series' of fights will never be seen.

      Charles-Moore, and Tunney-Greb.

      As for series' that I've seen, my favorite would be Pep-Saddler.

        No doubt: Zale\Graziano Non stop action, all three fights. These guys didn't know the words "No Mas".

          Ah class pic, there was some brutality in the ring every time those two met.

            I'd agree, not only were 2 of them great fight and one decent, they were instrumental in putting boxing at the forefront of the public conscience. Has there ever been a fight as important as The Fight of the Century?
