Sorry, I saw you posted and expected a list from you. That was the most pathetic fight of Duran's career. I think it was on the undercard of Tyson/Ruddock 1.

No harm, no foul
Even if you do continue to falsely peg me as a Duran hater.

Can't be bothered thinking up 10, but the number 1 has always been
Ali-Foreman
It made history, it was a huge upset, it was a great fight, but more than that, what an amazing and surreal setting and background to the fight.
Give me the Mai 20 Stadium in Kinshasa over MSG or the MGM any day!

Nice, but...
Going back in time 80 years or more has to beat that.

Ezzard. Dempsey vs Firpo would have been amazing to watch and/or paint.
