Biggest Wins Of the 20th Century? Post Some!

I was reading an old Ring Mag and they were doing a section on Hopkins/Trinidad and it got me thinking about how big that win was for Hopkins' career...

So, what were your most significant wins of the last 100 years? In terms of history and for that fighter's career.

I'll throw a quick top 10, kind of in order.

1. Ray Leonard over Marvin Hagler
2. Muhammad Ali over Big George
3.. Joe Louis over Max Schmeling
4. Henry Armstrong over Barney Ross (126 lb champ beating the 147 lb champ to unify 2 weights)
5. Harry Greb over Gene Tunney
6. Cassius Clay over Sonny Liston
7. Buster Douglas over Mike Tyson
8. Roberto Duran over Ray Leonard
9. Joe Frazier over Muhammad Ali
10. Jake Lamotta over Ray Robinson
11. George Foreman over Michael Moorer
12. JC Chavez Sr. Over Meldrick Taylor
13. Ray Leonard over Thomas Hearns
14. Ray Robinson over Gene Fullmer (best KO in history IMO)
15. Fritzie Zivic over Henry Armstrong
16. Salvador Sanchez over Wilfredo Gomez
17. Ezzard Charles over Archie Moore
18. Jimmy McLarnin over Barney Ross
19. Sam Langford over Joe Gans
20. George Foreman over Joe Frazier

Yeah I actually moved it down before I posted it It just didn't do a lot in the grand scheme. But still huge.

And yes to the other responses. I'm adding them in there. Can't believe I forgot the Duran/Leonard fight atsch

I like Johnson over Jim so much more than over Burns. Burns was just too small for such a great heavyweight like Jack.

 

The drama of it, Taylor was a top fighter beating Chavez, Chavez wore him down, and like the stoppage or hate it, he got the finish and really cemented his claim as THE top mexican fighter ever because of it, and preserved his 0, IMO.
