Most Exciting HW Legends Clash --- Per Fighter...

[Wild Blue Yonda]

Big S-Type's remark about the excitement in a Dempsey-Holyfield fight got me thinking. I will use HW as the template for this thread, as it is the most familiar division.

Name an all-time great Heavy, & which opponent you think would provide the single most enthralling fight they could participate in involving a fellow all-timer. Put another way, the fight for which Golden Boy could charge the most obscene PPV rate, if they could somehow make the fight happen

Here are some choices from myself...

Dempsey: Frazier

Foreman: Liston

Frazier: Holyfield

Marciano: Frazier

Louis: Dempsey

[CarlosG815]

Dempsey: Muhammad Ali

Foreman: Jack Dempsey

Frazier: Rocky Marciano

Marciano: Joe Louis

Louis: Mike Tyson

Louis vs. Dempsey is the best one, but Marciano-Frazier is up there too.

Foreman-Tua is one that springs to mind. Tua's not an all time great, but those two would go at it like dogs.

Demspey vs Frazier would be like two high speed trains colliding. I'm unsure as to who would win it, depends if Dempsey falls back on his highly under-rated boxing skills or not in my opinion. Dempsey could win by boxing or by fighting it out, but, for the latter I would probabaly have to give it to Joe.

Tua v Foreman would not sell a million buys
