    I've only been a fan for 3 years, 3 months and haven't got to see a lot of old hw fights yet.Some of the best hw fights I've ever seen were Lewis-Klitschko and Brewster-Liakhovich.I have Tua-Ibeabuchi on video but have never watched it.

      I watched Ali-Frazier III today after a long time, and that fight was amazing...

      It was just amazing how Frazier was just POUNDING Ali in the ribs and then all of a sudden Ali has him hurt...

      That fight made me a fan of Ali....Still like Joe Louis and Joe Frazier better though...

        He ducked Lewis, so i'd hardly say he reached the pinnacle of the sport.

                  Don't know if anyone mentioned it but Larry Holmes vs. Ken Norton was one of my favorite hw bouts. The best 15th round I've ever seen between 2 evenly matched heavies.

                    I'm finally ready to tank them.

                    1) Tua-Ibeabuchi

                    We all know how hard both of these guys hit, and they traded flush shots for pretty much 10 straight rounds of a 12 round fight. It was also extremely competitive and could have gone either way. Great, great fight that everyone needs to watch.

                    2) Holyfield-Bowe I

                    Easily the greatest heavyweight round of all time was round 10 of this fight where Holyfield is almost knocked out and comes back to almost knock Bowe out, before Bowe takes over again. Amazing fight that showed Evander's heart and how good Bowe should have been (the greatest American heavyweight since Tyson in the late 80's).

                    3) Tyson-Holyfield I

                    A huge upset in the boxing world and as dramatic a heavyweight fight as you'll ever see. This fight had more hype building up to it than anything within a decade of it taking place and only the Lewis-Tyson fight got as much press. It was classic good guy in Holyfield vs. bad guy in Tyson, a fight people had been waiting for for about 4-5 years since Holyfield knocked out Douglas and Tyson went to prison. This is the fight that got me into boxing.

                      Since Tua vs. Ibeabuchi, the best heavyweight fight I've seen was the Brewster-Liakhovich fight from last week.
