I think fights 1 and 2 have to be up there...probably as highly anticipated as any 2 fights out there

Ali frazier 1 is prolly the no 1 that or joe Louis max schmeling 2 or money vs pac imo . Doesnt get much bigger than those .

Tyson/Spinks off the top of my head.

Yes Ali-Frazier were huge...as was Ali-Foreman.

Just curious as to why you feel fight 2 between Louis and Schmelling wast the bigger one? Wasn't fight 1 huge as well? Genuine question.

They were both huge in the promotional aspect ( not saying either wasnt an big fight ), Super political with the US vs **** party angle . But the second fight was the year before the war popped off and Germany had just taken over Austria and was having alot of tension with the west , so the promotion was even more powerful ( albeit rediculous ) the second time . In fight 2 the world heavyweight championship was on the line aswell . Iam sure not many truly anticipated louis schmeling 1 except boxing fans . It was the promotion of that which kicked it all off and made such a big fight . In the rematch joe was the champ and seemed invincible but he wouldnt be perceived as just that until he beat schmeling . That's why the fight fans highly anticipated that one . Everyone wanted to see it before it was signed . Everyone in the world wanted.to see the rematch

Louis Schmelling most likely because of the social and political aspects.

Haye klitchsko is a great one . The anticipation of that was WAY better than the fight haha but it was crazy. It was the only real fight for wlad at the time that presented what seemed like a reasonable challenge,unless he fought vitali

[NORMNEALON]

Tank Davis vs Vasyl Lomachenko
Ryan Garcia vs Devin Haney

These 2 are **** on . Those and formerly joshua wilder were the most anticipated fights in world boxing currently. Maybe add spence Crawford and AJ fury to the list
