    kids who started watching boxing last week use the phrase "best fight ever" left and right.

    Learn the history of boxing and then you can talk.
    Dempsey-Firpo.
    Ali-Frazier.
    Holyfield-Bowe.
    Holmes-Norton.
    etc.etc.

    And there were tons of amazing HW fights on a non-championship level.

      Ali vs Frazier I and III was leagues above that. Those two were on the brink of death in that 3rd fight

      Extreme drama last night with the KD's but lots of the rounds were pretty quiet. When you watch it back without the adrenaline those rounds feel a lot less dramatic
      yeah it was a good fight for sure best heavyweight for awhile but not anywhere near the level of many many more truly great heavyweight fights

        Foreman and Lyle For Moi. And Evander was involved in at least Half a Dozen.

        Great fight though, You're right.

          White Wolf vs Brewster was just as thrilling as this fight but the championship profile was lower. For basically the undisputed title this was the greatest since Bowe vs Holyfield.

              Let me say this as clearly as it should be said: Anthony Joshua vs. Wladimir Klitschko was probably the best HW fight ever. All of that excitement, with their trading of brutal knockdowns and jelly legs, and the great heart and patience that both of them showed. It simply doesn't get any more entertaining. I prefer to watch the big lions fight, even if the small cats can be cool too. And these were truly two lions going at it. Klitschko had an amazing last stand, surviving the two knockdowns and still fighting on. It was beautiful to watch. Notice how you could see Joshua maturing as a fighter during the match. He had trouble with Wladimir's experience, but he fought patiently and stayed focused and took his chance, as late as the chance came. A well deserved victory.

              And both of them are true gentleman, respecting themselves, each other and the fans. They are great for the sport.
              it was alright....
