    Name some bouts where there has been a clear good guy vs bad guy situation beforehand.

    Some fighters have made a career of being the bad guy (Tyson, Mayweather etc) but which of their opponents have been popular good guys? Or vice versa.

    Riddick Bowe vs Jorge Luiz Gonzalez, Holy vs Tyson and Leonard vs Duran could be such examples

    In quebec hilton-ouellet fitted the bill. Anglo vs frenchy
    Jailbird vs poet

    Was great seeing the nation go into a collective depression once hilton stopped him, trailing on the cards, with a few seconds left in the fight

    No its not. Like I just said, Ali-Foreman is THE example.

    Holy was never loved by the public like Ali was. And Tyson has ALWAYS had a bigger fanbase than Foreman.

    To be fair I don't know much about the Ali /Foreman build up etc. so maybe you're right

    Louis-Schmeling II is probably the best example ever, despite Schmeling being totally misrepresented.

    Ali-Foreman number 1 for sure.

    Ali-Frazier 1 also where it was Ali who was hated by many.

    More recent examples are...

    May-Pac
    Cotto vs Margarito 2
