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.

Hagler Vs Duran is one of my favorite fights to study. Its one of the greatest displays of pure skill in its perfect element. For Duran to go up that many classes; against that quality of opponent, with the same set of skills and a completely unique bag of tricks..... and make it competitive for that many rounds, is unheard of.

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!
