with the passing of the great smoking joe fraizer who was involved in probably with the greatest ever heavyweight championship fight "the thriller in manilla".

i thought it would be good to discuss any other great fights over the years. another personal favourite of mine was the micky ward v gatti fights 

The first Danny Williams / Matt Skelton fight in 2006 was an epic. 12 rounds, matching eachother blow for blow. Williams won on a split decision. Was an epic that forced a rematch which also went 12 rounds, with Skelton winning the rematch. British Heavy Weight Boxing at its finest.

You said it Brick-top the thriller in manila, dub the fight of thee fight of century between two greats in their prime,

which had probably the best build up to any boxing match ever.

also.... Rumble in the Jungle Ali vs Foreman have to be fairly close, most recently Tyson vs Holyfield more for the conversely dirty play and ear biting Tyson.
