    Ali vs Foreman was more significant for Ali than it was for boxing, though from an upset stand-point, it's up there.

        Although most people will never know it happened, Rahman vs Maskaev was very symbolic.

            I'm surprised no one mentioned Ezzard Mack Charles vs Joe Louis, beating 'The Brown Bomber' made Charles only the third African/American to hold the legitimate heavy world title, following Jack Johnson and Joe Louis.

            Roy Jones beating John Ruiz for the WBA world heavy title. Regardless of what people's opinions are about his choice of opponent, this made Jones the first Light-Heavy in 106 years to win a part of the heavy weight title since Bob Fitzimmons.

              On the Charles thing, well, by the time you get to third......well, you know....nobody cares.

              On Jones, I thought about it; but because it wasn't lineal, it just didn't mean as much.

                Foreman vs Moorer, older beating younger fighter.

                Michael Carbajal vs Chiquita Gonzales. 1st fighters to get million dollars pay day at the lower divisions at 112-108 pounds.

                    Hey Pinoy hater, who said i overrate Pinoy fighters? Not me u damn ******ed fool.

                    Here u go again, getting upset because there is a Mexican boxer involved, just a simple question why that fight was symbollic to the thread starter. Did the thread starter went berzerk to my question, oh i forgot, the thread starter is not a racist, Pinoy hater, and ****** like. The thread starter has common sense.

                    Now go on and watch JMM, your most symbollic fighter and his most symbollic fight ever , his DRAW(cough, judger error) against Pacquiao. Its turns u on just watching JMM u freaking ******.

                      Thanx for the answer. I know both of them are Latinos but didn't know their nationalities. Haven't seen the fight yet, gonna try to dowload it somewhere in the internet.
