Seriously, if we're doing Boxing you're really not going to do better than O'Sullivan's unification tour.
Leo Peterson
the first time around, schmeling brutalized louis. it set black confidence back a long time.
Brayden Rodriguez
...
Brayden Richardson
None of those reflected the times as much as Louis vs. Schmeling.
Aiden Garcia
18-1 easily. It shook the world so hard it created /sp/.
Ryder Cook
>reflected the times
This is sports writing for "easy to meme about."
Matthew Bell
They're incredibly relevant on the story of their respective sports though.
As much as Louis and Schmeling were incredibly significant and probably reflected the times, Ali vs Frazier is clearly the most talked rivalry ever.
Jonathan Russell
>Implying Ali-Fraser wasn't significant
William Ward
...
Jose Morales
Honestly, if we're meming about reflecting the times, shouldn't it be Louis vs. Carnera?
Benjamin Miller
>Mfw calling my cousin in Boston to rub it in afterwards
I swore I heard some glass break on the other end of the line.
Evan Russell
The Rumble in the Jungle was much more significant than the Manilla match though.
Mobutu used it to mask the political dealings he was making behind the scenes and used brutal force to suppress overly zealous revelers.
Jordan Williams
The first Ali Fraizer was more significant than The Rumble in the Jungle.
Grayson Morris
Ali Fraizer 1*
Ryder Reyes
The Massacre of the Israeli Team in the Munich Olympics :DDDD
Isaac Clark
It put a big spotlight on Congo.
