    Reed-- I agreed with this initially, but the more I thought about it, I think I'd choose a fight that happened before I was born.

    How about watching Dempsey-Carpentier with 80,000 fans in New Jersey back in 1921?

    He was also the incumbent champion, though in retrospect, Ali did win the trilogy, so...

    Frazier-Ali I
    Ali-Frazier II
    Ali-Frazier III

    ...doesn't quite flow.

    I would like to have watched one of those 100 round fights. That must have been epic.

    Good call... does dmille post anywhere these days?

    I amend my answer to Frazier-Ali 1... or actually let's just call it what it really is:
