Come on, The rumble in the Jungle, brought together everyone as far as I've heard from me dad, wasn't born then.

holyfield-tyson 2
roy jones-john ruiz

I definitely think it's important to have a Tyson fight to pay tribute to that particular era as it was so big in pop culture as a whole. However I think the Douglas fight would be the best representative as it is also involves one of the greatest upsets and is generally considered the better fight. Berbick just got blasted.

I was thinking Rumble in the Jungle, except a lot of the underlying and important themes of Rumble in the Jungle are exactly the same as Ali-Frazier..

[Mr. Fantastic]

Tito vs DLH
Salvador Sanchez vs Wilfredo Gomez


I think these 2 fights should be in the top 10.

Maybe it is Rumble in the Jungle.. But what do people think about and I realize it didn't live up to the hype. Mayweather/DLH. It introduced documentary buildups as a fixture and also did great PPV for a non Heavies bout.

It might be good to include a fight to represent the Mexico/PR rivalry.

Jim Jeffries vs Jack Johnson

The fight itself was a bit of a farce, with the washed up Jeffries being no match for Johnson, but it certainly received hype and was surrounded by controversy.

Well there are definitely a lot of exciting fights not included but i only wanna go with fights that have some historical significance. Jack Johnson becoming first Black HW champ is a good candidate. I was also thinking a Sugar Ray Robinson fight needs to be included. Gatti-Gamache might need to go.
