Great performances from a fighter that you would describe as a "force of nature"

    I also thought Nelson was more competitive than was credited by most at the time. It’s like ‘well his back was on the ropes in that round so he lost.’ But if you watch what’s happening he did some decent work.

    And he blew that typhoon back out to sea in spectacular fashion in the rematch.

    Sonny Liston was the epitome of the thread.

    Lewis vs Golata. Golata was looking great against Bowe despite the 2 DQ's, but Lewis just completely overwhelmed him and happened so fast. Was like a hurricane against a fishing boat

    Well, it was more like a measured hurricane against a fishing boat. Lewis had Andrew completely figured out in a minute, then disposed of him. By far his best performance imo, against an underrated opponent, who was viewed as the best in the division at the time.

    Foreman vs Norton. Foreman was like a wall that was closing in on Norton and was going to inevitably crush him.
    Hearns vs Duran. He blitzed one of the best fighters ever in 2 rounds and ended it dramatically with a huge punch.
    Marciano-Moore. Rocky's attack in the last 3 rounds was continuous and straight up brutal.

    Funny enough I thought Andy Ruiz’s performance was like a typhoon when he stopped Joshua in the first fight. Sadly that typhoon subsided in the rematch...

    The 6th round is just bloodcurdling, im shocked that the ref didnt stop the fight after the 2nd knockdown

    Cotto vs MARGARITO 2: this fight flowed with some great Fung shei. Margo the villian, dressed in corn rows, sporting new tattoos on his huge body just eating punches like Eminems, while cotto, the professor doing a surgery on cheatos right eye. In fact his stablemate, Manny Pacquiao, had previously bludgeoned that eye to make it super vunerable while the previous opponent great Mosley figured out the myth of the loaded handwraps that brother nazim found plaster of Paris in it! Cotto won the best fight of his career and was vindicated. The doctor who stopped the fight said he was worried for margarito s health as his peripheral vision was gone. How satisfying as he stared like a badd ass to Tony which seemed like forever!

    Also toney- jirov. Toney, what a bad man. With all the cardio and muscle in the world, he took every grinding shot from the volume puncher jirov on all over the place: arms, head, body, gloves. Toney closed the show with something memorable in the last round wich was already a memorable night! Toney= best cruiserweight in the world that night.

    Floyd vs bruseles= a virtuoso performance over poor Henry, did to him what he would do to a young cotto, that night he was the best fighter in the world under 154 pounds!
