    Thrilla. But Rumble had the better ending and more iconic moment.

    Thrilla was probably the greatest Championship fight in HW history.

      I love the rumble. Great story and for what Ali pulled off.
      Thrilla is of THE Heavyweights though. It gets my vote.

      EDIT: Crazy how this thread is a decade old and got bumped by a guy trying to sell VPNs

            Well, I'd vote "equally great", watched both fights in awe. But I've heard that:
            - the ropes in Kinshasa were illegal (too loose) so that Ali could defend easier;
            - Ali did not want to give Foreman the rematch (which Foreman IMO would win).
            I don't know if it is true, but if yes, I prefer the Manilla fight.
