George Foreman vs Ron Lyle (1976) was the GOAT heavyweight fight.

It's up there...but i think i'm taking Holmes-Norton, Ali-Frazier I & III and Bowe-Holyfield I over this...

Probably top 5 though

Thrilla In Manilla and Bowe/Holyfield 1 might be better.

No love for the two slugfests between Tyson/Ruddock?

My personal favorite HW fight but then again I was born in the early 90s so most of these fights mentioned prior was before my time.



I was deadass about to make a thread saying Lennox Lewis vs the Russian is the GOAT HW fight but I kept putting it off will watch these other fights when I get the chance.

Razor was a game as they come and Tyson showed incredible toughness(mentally and physically) to dig down and win those fight despite taking some hellacious shots. Fights are glossed over due to Mike getting the bs charges not long after and then Razor getting annihilated by Lennox. By that time, Razor was damaged goods as a direct result of his two wars with Iron Mike

One of the main reasons I feel prime Tyson would have no problem with prime George
