Tyson-Douglas is probably the biggest. One that doesn't get mentioned is Foreman-Moorer. That a 45yr old could win the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world was unbelievable(yes it was the undisputed title, no matter what the alphabet boys say, he beat the man who beat the man)
Floyd Patterson being the first to regain the title. Many had tried before him and failed. Plus he had to beat Ingo, who had taken the title from him. Floyd and Ingo don't get much ink these days.
Tyson V Douglas no doubt. Tyson was thought to be unbeatable at that time. The question was not who he fought next, but who he would destroy next.
It really shocked the word and was on all the news channels.
Tyson-Douglas wasnt as big as Ali-Foreman!! Many people didn't even watch Tyson-Douglas. The 'world' didnt even know who Douglas was. Ali-Foreman was a world wide EVENT. The world WACTHED the fight and the anticipation was HUGE for it. I mean, MOVIES have been made about the fight 20 years later. Do you think a movie or documentary or ANYTHING will ever be made about Tyson-Douglas? (NO!)
