Ali-Frazier

Second fight was dull. Third fight, they were shadows.

Bowe-Holyfied. It had pretty much everything, skills, action, drama, high level of competition, etc.

Ali-Frazier runs short. The second one was frustrating for its status.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Ruiz-Holyfield.

Maybe not heavyweight but Norris - Santana trilogy, Santana scoring 2 great DQ wins

Sorry. It was competitive because they were still at the same level (with the classical style contrast), and stubborn
