    1 in particular stands out to me. Erik Morales was a little shopworn against Pacquaio. The legs didnt have the same bounce they used to. Reflexes not quite what they used to be. He wasnt as good as he once was, but on that night he was better once than he ever was. And he authored once of the greatest in ring performances in boxing history and gave the most complete performance of his career.

    Mosley vs Margarito springs to mind for me.

    There probably are better examples and the gloves issue obviously effected the psyche of AM, but Shane let his hands go and put a beating on him. Really enjoyed that fight.

    Yea, the crazy part about that, was Duran wasn't just shopworn in this fight, he was pretty much shot.
