    Pavlik over Taylor I - devastating stoppage against a prime undisputed champ. considering how pavlik was able to come off the canvas and just bulldoze Taylor, it's hard not to be impressed.

    runner up: Peter-Long

    I voted PBF over chico and then comes PAc over MAB.

    really Chico was the betting favorite and was a monster at 130 he was KOing guy left and right.

    i remeber b4 the fight they were saying it was a lighter version of LEnord hearns. but pbf didn't have any of that **** and just completely dominated Chico something that no one seen coming every one either picked chico by ko or pbf by close decison . know saw pbf puting on a display like that .

    Mosley over DLH as they were both prime and seemingly unstoppable at the time. DLH even considered it his first loss.

    I would say either Hopkins over Trinidad just because no one really expected it, and the whole thing was perfectly planned out, from weeks before the fight!

    But really I think the most impressive was Mayweather's win over Corrales. Newer boxing fans will not know that at the time, Corrales was just knocking everyone out at 130 lbs... and many fans were looking forward to him exposing Pretty Boy Floyd as just a flashy boxer with no real FIGHT in him. But of course Floyd just completely destroyed Chico. I don't think Corrales landed a single effective punch in the entire fight... and Floyd was hitting him at will with everything from lead left hooks, straight rights, jabs to the body... it was just incredibly to see that fight live on TV.

    To whoever said Jones-Hopkins, I just don't see how thats very impressive. First of all it wasn't as one sided as many seem to remember.. and also it was a real stinker. Almost like a sparring match, very few meaningful punches landed.

    But if you want 'total annihilation' as someone else in this thread said... come on, Gatti-Mayweather!!

    RJJ over Toney.

    I think because he made it look so easy, some people tend to underestimate the magnitude of this win. Wasn't Toney considered by some to be the best P4P at the time? And wasn't Toney undefeated also?
