I think:

Joe Louis vs Max Schmelling
Salvador Sanchez vs Wilfredo Gomez

�Others?

I can understand Louis vs Schmelling but why Sanchez vs Gomez is symbolic?

I think Tarver over Jones. Not just for the win, but by knocking out Mr. Unknockoutable. **** was shocking.

Most anticipated fight in a long time....and it becomes the most lackluster fight of the year. Everyone, including me, was expecting a Tommy Hearns/Ray Leonard type of fight.

Anyway....Gomez/Sanchez was more significant as this began the era of Mexican fighters to come.

For me I always refer back to Bowe v. Ferguson...after this one was over you knew we were watching something special in the Big Daddy.

It was almost like Elway and the DRIVE...almost.

Symbolic victories in the boxing history.
