    For me, there is a difference between "Greatest" and "Most significant" when it comes to these conversations. I'll 100% agree with Teddy about Max Schmeling vs Joe Louis at Yankee Stadium on the eve of WW2 as the most significant boxing match of all time. The greatest match, I would argue, is "The Thrilla in Manilla" Mohammed Ali vs Joe Frazier part 3.

      The pelicans can be serious championship contenders in 2 years. Ingram already an all star at 22, I can see him being at least on the level of player like Paul George or better. Zion can be one of the best in the league, and lonzo at the point, he’s never going to average 25 a game but I can see lonzo being an all star with averages like 16/18ppg, 10 assist and 7/8 rebounds. Along with players like Josh Hart, Favors, Hayes, and maybe even JJ Reddick altogether can be a great team.

    Gotta go with Ali vs Frazier 1 cause like Max said it was a combination of significance and action. Few fights exceeded the hype that it drew and this was one of them witn two of the greatest boxers of all time.

      @@GangGreen80 I think the ref did a good job of stopping it. Taylor looked finished. He probably should have been more conservative in the final round since he was up in the score cards but that wasnt his style I guess. It cost him big time though

    I was born in 1980 and started watching boxing with my uncles around 1990. The 2 greatest fights I remember watching and have never forgotten till this day are Mayweather vs Castillo 1 and Corrales vs Castillo 1. Mayweather fight is unforgettable to me because I was a huge Mayweather fan and I was sure I had just watched Castillo hand him his first loss. Corrales fight was just 2 beasts displaying pure heart to the very end! Greatest fights of my lifetime in my opinion!
