    imo he started winning because coked up Nunn slowed down considerably after about 7-8 rounds and got sloppy as hell, thus the right hands started landing.


    Nunn was a sloppy let down as THE champion., post-kalambay.

    As far as I remember, Toney's pressure and occasional body punches were one of the reasons Nunn slowed down too.

    Archie Moore against Yvon Durelle was pretty amazing - god knows how he got up from that 3rd knockdown in the first round?? Could also say the Dempsey coming back from near oblivion after being pushed/punched out of the ring (which was also a mammoth comeback of sorts by Firpo too) haha so that was a comeback from a great comeback - another one I'd say is Gatti-Ward

    "occasional" being the key word there.Toney mostly headhunted and that's where his late success came from.Nunn didn't actually move much until later, he just wasn't in shape or focused.That's not to say anyone would have beaten him that night, of course not(he probably fought better in the first half of the bout than he did in his last 3 fights)but as the cordoba bouts following it showed, it likely wasn't going to be long until he was outhustled, shaken up and upset either.

    It happened really quickly, but Hearns was flat out destroying Barkley in their first fight- busted and cut him up, was nearly folding him in half with body shots- and then all the sudden Barkley almost killed Hearns. Didn't see that one coming at all.

    A top 10, not necessarily in any order.

    Corrales-Castillo
    Pacquiao-Marquez I
    Benn-McClellan (Despite the tragic results)
    Eubank-Watson (Despite the tragic results)
    Robinson-Turpin II
    Chavez-Taylor
    Foreman-Moorer
    Duran-Barkley
    Moore-Durelle
    Marciano-Walcott I

    Honorable mentions: Jackson-Graham (for the memorability of the KO and the fact that Jackson was practically fighting blind) Castro-Jackson, Whitaker-Hurtado, Gatti-Ward I, Maidana-Ortiz and Foreman-Lyle were back and forth slugfests where things were always in the balance, but they're both worth a mention, Ward-Sanchez

    Those who mentioned the Benn-McClellan fight,did anyone actual get an actual punch total of how many shots that Benn threw to the back Gerald's head. Maybe that's the reason for the aftermath. Ref shouldve been investigated for not diqualifying Benn. I mean Benn was knocking the **** out of the back of Geralds head.
