    Wilfredo Benitez, unless you count the drunk version that showed up against Don Curry's brother Bruce as a great fight

    Holyfield vs Qawi 1 is widely regarded as the best CW fight ever. That fight was nonstop action from start to finish.

    I don’t think Bernard Hopkins was ever involved in a truly great fight.

    Carlos Ortiz wasn’t in any grueling battles.

    Good point. Bernard was a great champion but imo not an exciting champion. Very crafty and very methotical. But his fights don't have a high rewatchability factor. After a Bernard fight youre left with a "I'm glad this snoozefest is over" feeling. He was a great fighter though.
