    Lewis vs Klitschko?
    Joshua vs Klitschko?
    Maskaev vs Rahman?
    Lyakhovitch vs Brewster?

    Action-wise Brewster vs Liakovich is a legit contender, but because of its significance Joshua vs Klitshko takes it. Imo it is a top-5 heavyweight fight in the history, right up there after Bowe-Holy I and Holmes-Norton

    I found Bowe holyfield 1 to be too one-sided to warrant mention as one of the best. Evander won no more than 3 rounds.

    Excitement-wise I liked Lewis-Klit even though the ending sucked.

    Who would've thought Wlad would end up involved in one of the best heavyweight fights in the last 20 years? Amazing. It is the least he could've done after all the boring hold-fests he subjected us to. Almost single-handedly made heavyweight division irrelevant.

    Good call on Lya/Brewster. Saw it live! It was like watching a middleweight fight. Great fight.

    Liakhovich-Brewster was my top one for its consistent action.

    Another vote for Liakhovich-Brewster, and the irony is Liakhovich's next fight was quite possibly the most boring final round KO fight of all-time
