    For me, it’s James Toney dodging two punches from Roy Jones while he was going down at 29:15

    Usyk, for exposing all of the fans who relentlessly hype slickness and hyper defensive fighters, who love saying skills pay the bills, many of whom are now left slack jawed and utterly perplexed, by how successful he is in the sport, who miss all of the subtleties that make him a great fighter. He leaves them in a state of YDKSAB. So... anyone who exposes the snobbish wannabe elitists as know nothings and frauds. Nothing is lovelier.:sisi1 But for the people who do get Usyk, who hyped defensive slick fighters, congrats, you're the real deal.:deal:

    Jersey Joe Walcott setting up the knockdown on Joe Louis. Here is a video showing it in real time, and then slowed down as a technical breakdown:

    Fury dropping his hands after getting rocked at the end of round 10 rebounding off the ropes then walking head first towards Wilder hitting himself in the head as if to tell him GIVE ME MORE

    Tyson Fury is the GOAT. He gets stronger the more you hurt him. Which is why Usyk stands a chance because he couldn't crack an egg.

    That & he actually does it in his own original way without clinching excessively, running around, illegally ducking below his waist, needing to consistently probe all while showing "others"(Including Boxing Journalist/Writers) what being evasive & defensive actually means.

    :deal: To not run, but to stand right in front of massive puncher's and truly swim without getting wet. True slickness, in its most unadulterated form.:deal:

    Wilder could no longer stand. His strikes had to be 60% of their normal force.

    About as subtle as a nuclear warhead being detonated.

    I have seen that clip 100 times and never appreciated that until you pointed it out. Youre right that is awesome.

    Unique thread too, nice topic.

    Not even that much, like 40%. Hes just fatigue swinging at that point.

    It was subtle and classy that Ali held his punch as Big George took his fateful tumble to the canvas at the end of their Rumble in the Jungle.

    I always thought George's pirouetting descent was ruggedly beautiful.

    Not very subtle though. :lol:
