12 Heavyweights - What Would Be The Most Exciting Card?

[keithmoonhangover]

Match the below fighters to make a 6 fight dream card. Which one of us can make the most exciting card?

Ali, Frazier, Louis, Lewis, Bowe, Holyfield, Norton, 70's Foreman, Holmes, Tyson, Liston and Marciano.

Match them anyway you like. They are all in their primes and injury free.

For me, it's.........

Tyson - Liston
Lewis - Bowe
Holyfield - Frazier
Holmes - Foreman
Norton - Marciano
Louis - Ali

[gilgamesh]

Liston vs Marciano
Holyfield vs Norton
Frazier vs Tyson
Holmes vs Ali
Foreman vs Bowe
Louis vs Lewis

...I accidentally pitted Holyfield in two bouts at first as I figure Holyfield vs Ali would be really interesting as well. But Holmes vs Ali presuming they still went in with a bit of a personal rivalry and Holmes was his old sparring partner and all that, except this time Ali was in his prime. I think it would make things very interesting, and winning would mean a lot to both guys.

[witherspoon]

Bowe v Foreman
Holmes v Lewis
Louis v Liston
Holyfield v Frazier (no-brainer)
Marciano v Norton
Ali v Tyson


If I was told right now that I could see this card live, but would have to forfeit my life at the end of it...............……I would seriously consider it.

I think clearly the most fireworks is Joe Frazier vs Evander Holyfield.

It hurts to think about it.

[Controversial]

Ali v Marciano
Tyson v Foreman
Holyfield v Frazier
Liston v Holmes
Lewis v Bowe
Norton v Louis

[witherspoon]

Ali v Marciano
Tyson v Foreman
Holyfield v Frazier
Liston v Holmes
Lewis v Bowe
Norton v Louis

Interesting matchmaking. I like Holmes v Liston. I like Holmes H2H against anyone, but this one gives me pause for thought.
Edit: probably deserves a thread.

There would have to be a few fighters on this night of boxing:

Rocky Marciano, Joe Frazier, Jack Dempsey & Mike Tyson - just for their styles of fighting.

I would also include Jack Johnson, George Foreman and the two greatest, Joe Louis & Muhammad Ali.

The other four slots are up for discussion, but I think that Earnie Shavers, Henry Cooper, Archie Moore and Jersey Joe Walcott would make for interesting additions.

[Crease]

My card would like something like this:

1. Marciano vs Cooper
2. Moore vs Frazier
3. Shavers vs Foreman
4. Johnson vs Walcott
5. Dempsey vs Tyson
6. Louis vs Ali

Something like that anyway.

Ali v Marciano
Tyson v Foreman
Holyfield v Frazier
Liston v Holmes
Lewis v Bowe
