Joe Louis vs Buddy Baer II. Not one of the greatest or most discussed fights, but Joe was so textbook and amazing I never tire of watching it. I also like that Joe gave his entire purse to the Navy Relief Fund. A true gentleman and patriot. A close second is Dempsey-Willard for the sheer brutality and savagery, and the entrance into the Golden Age of sports.

People always talk about Ali-Frazier III, but I have to say my all-time favourite is their first fight --- The Fight Of The Century. For both men, their skills & reflexes were visibly sharper, & their conditioning apparently stronger, here than what it would be a few years later. Overall, it was the best fight, & also the closest. I had Ali jumping well out in front, & it took all of fifteen rounds on my card (I had it a little closer than the officials) for Frazier to reel Ali in, which he did in thrilling & dogged fashion, despite Ali's formidable protests, in the form of snappy, accurate flurries, a spearing jab, & holding tactics.
A brilliant fight, & I have seen none better at HW.

There are other great fights, but none better than the FOTC.
He was reduced to stroking lennoxs face at the end of being brutally KOed and saying sorry like a bully B!TCH..it was truly epic !
Watching Tyson being beat in to such a humble fashion will forever be cemented in my mind...Tyson new how good lewis is...even at an after dinner speech he declared Lewis as his toughest foe !

I also enjoy Frazier vs Quarry (1) a Forgotten Classic.. The over-hand right that Frazier hits Quarry with at the start of the 3rd round is brutal.. This version of Frazier beats almost every heavyweight who ever lived.
