Cats51 Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 In your opinion, which heavyweight stands out in your mind as the best you ever saw. Mine would have to be Foreman-Frazier. Cosell made this fight a great one with his ringside commentary. Down goes Frazier! Down goes Frazier! Down goes Frazier! Howard was the heart and soul of boxing.............................

Guest CNOrtega Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Ali vs. Foreman is the greatest heavyweight fight ever, followed closely by Ali vs. Frazier III "The Thrilla in Manilla". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachw16 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 There are really two that stick in my mind. I rember as a kids watching Larry Holmes destroy Micheal Spinks only to have the title taken away by the judges. He had Spinks spitting blood in the corner between rounds. I also think you have to put Tyson-Douglas in there. On that night, a 50-1 underdog fought as though he was a top ten heavy weight of all time. You just can't beat something like that.

shoelessjoelives Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Foreman and Ali from Zaire was my favorite because I watched it on a closed-circuit broadcast as it was happening. But the Cosell rant ........"And down goes Frazya" is the best call to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RETIREDFAN1 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Foreman and Ali from Zaire was my favorite because I watched it on a closed-circuit broadcast as it was happening. But the Cosell rant ........"And down goes Frazya" is the best call to me. Wasn't that one known as "The Rumble in the Jungle" ??? Howard was the heart and soul of boxing............................. Yes he was. I'm sitting here watching the Olympic boxing and wishing that Howard was calling the matches...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
