Most Impressive Surgical Performances

Ah, got it!

Also, not directed to you, Seamus, but in general:

A win is the more "impressive" the better the opponent. That's what I was driving at when I joked that Cleveland Williams circa the Ali fight referenced was a "cadaver." So a "surgical" performance - which I assume means a performance that displays technical virtuosity - is most impressive when it is against another superlative technician.

In this context, I would point to Chan-hee Park's win over Miguel Canto as an example. Canto is universally considered the greatest technician at the flyweight; and though a bit past his prime, Canto had an economical style that aged well. Against this, Park arguably scored a shutout. That is a "most impressive surgical performance."

 

Even except that being the second quip of that joke, it's a bit overstated. Williams was past it, but that "corpse" would still beat one of Frazier's so called contenders many years later.

But back to the topic - I don't think Benitez-Duran has been mentioned yet. Or Whitaker-Chavez.

 

My joke was better.

Yes, Chavez neutralized a prime Whitaker. Good call.

 

Mike McCallum vs Michael Watson

 

Williams was literally SHOT....

 

Ali gave both Williams and Zora Foley paydays out of the goodness
of his heart.

 

this was the one I thought off the top of my head.

 

Wnky-Tito
Alexander-Maidana

John Michael Johnson v Junior Jones

 

did you ever box in your life? because you have no clue about what is a finisher or anything

 

Yeah, about as much as Ali destroyed a fighter as good as prime Louis in the form of Williams.

 

No one done a Randall pun yet!

As Chavez/Rosario and McCallum/Watson have been mentioned I throw in Curry/Jones

 

Rigo was perfect against Teon. But the Tyson vs Douglas is a good ****ogy with the suprise knockdown just making the beating worse for the loser. Qawi was a butcher at LHW would love to have seen him and Toney go at it.

 

He was awesome that night.
