I can see the arguably part there. I thought that Tyson-Ruddock 2 was great, but not everyone did. A lot of people would put down Holyfield 1 as a great fight but I think that maybe more because of Holyfield winning.
Exactly. Same goes of the Buster Douglas fight...some would say it was great, mostly because it was a tremendous upset.
Lennox Lewis. I mean his very last fight was his most exciting...but it still fell short of great. Most of his other fights were either shocking upsets, quick/one sided beatdowns or drawn out borefests.
Hmmm....I thought of that one. I'm not sure I'd classify it as great, personally, but I see what you mean. When I watched it I saw it as a bruising fight...but I didn't find it exciting.
Wlad vs brewster was a classic. Wlad cowardice made it a bit less memorable than it should have been, but it was a tremendously exciting fight live.
