    Lewis-Bruno
    Tucker-Douglas
    Jones-Lucas
    Louis-Conn
    Hamed-Kelley
    Clay-Cooper
    Tyson-Botha


    Hard to pick really, as stoppages don't come by accident. Generally you have to do something good at some point to force the stoppage.

    Hamed-Kelley was a mutual shootout. No one ha a 'bad' showing in that fight IMO. Some good shouts though :good

    I think it depends on what you consider Hamed's level to be. At his best and fighting up to his talent, I don't think he should have had too much trouble with Kelley. Certainly not 3 knockdown's worth of trouble. I think Hamed underestimated Kelley, got dumped in the first round after he had backed Kelley into a corner, and after that point just got dragged into the shootout.

    Roy obviously had no trouble at all, but it was a very uninspired performance compared to what he was capable of at that point in his career.

    Eder vs Fukuyama.....it is a war apparently......and the way he puts a end in the bout is great ! But that Jofre´s performance wasn´t too good....Not sure what you guys think but Eder was too hittable there, certainly one of his worse on film (only a clip avaliable though).....

    It is the only way he is ever going to get mentioned in this forum, but a fight of very recent vintage Harrison/SprottII...

    Jerry Quarry-Lorenzo Zanon. Jerry lost all of the first seven completed rounds and looked dreadful. Fortunately for him, Zanon couldn't take a punch.

    I'll throw in Mercer-Damiani. The Italian was a cutie who was giving Mercer a pretty good schooling, when a freak light uppercut grazed and shattered his nose. But what Holmes later did to Ray was not surprising in light of this one (which should have been a flashing red light to Mercer).

    Hamed was at his best. Kelley was the one who was past it by the time of that fight.

    I agree, and that was my point. Hamed was at his physical prime, Kelley was past his, and Hamed was the better fighter overall irrespective of primes.

    The fact that Hamed was dropped, hurt, and had to be rescued by his power indicates that it was a subpar performance. It was one of the best fights of the decade, but that shouldn't obscure that Hamed didn't perform to the level he could.
