That was impressive, but in the world of boxing it's probably not top 10. While amazing at the time, in retrospect, it looses a bit of it's shine.
Clay/Liston and Ali/Frazier 3 were more special as was Foreman/Moorer. I'd say Tyson/Douglas was similar in scope, but again, in retrospect, you can see it coming.
Let's talk racing cars for a second. This is the best battle I've ever seen. Backstory is that Gilles Villenueve's tires were shot and Rene Arnoux had a big power advantage, but fuel pickup problems. Keep in mind, they were fighting for second. It gets spicy about a minute in.
