    Tyson vs. Berbick.

    Pacquiao vs. Marquez.

    I have no idea who put Ferdie Pacheco's own words into his ears.

    Duran vs. Barkley

    No clue.

    Moorer v. Foreman. At the exact moment where the announcers were saying that Foreman was losing but had the ability to turn it around with one good punch, Foreman knocks out Moorer, and that line was then said.

    "The official time will be 2:58 of the 12th round -- he knocked him out with TWO SECONDS LEFT!" - Jim Lampley calling Chavez-Taylor I

    "I would be willing to say it's the greatest upset in boxing history. In Las Vegas, they wouldn't even put any odds on this fight. And suddenly, Mike Tyson -- perceived as this giant monolith -- has been reduced to being just another heavyweight champion who got defeated." - Larry Merchant calling Tyson-Douglas

    "How do you like it?! HOW DO YOU LIKE IT?!" - Barry Tompkins calling the end of Hagler-Leonard

    "OH, DOWN GOES CHAVEZ FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HIS CAREER!" - Steve Albert calling Chavez-Randall I

    "I can't believe it. I can't believe it. Here is a guy who we said---who İ said was a clubber.."

    "IT HAPPENED! IT HAPPENED!"

    "You know, this is a two to one fight, but in my mind it was a gazillion to one that George Foreman could ever win the heavyweight championship again."

    Louis-Schmeling 1, Clem McCarthy:

    "Schmeling got over two more hard rights to Louis's jaw and made Louis give ground. And there Schmeling straightened up Louis with hard rights and lefts to the jaw. He has puffed up Louis' left cheek, and ...

    "... Louis is down! Louis is down! Hanging to the ropes, hanging badly! He is a very tired fighter, he is blinking his eyes, shaking his head. The count is done! The fight is over! The fight is over! And Schmeling is the winner! Louis is completely out! "

    "YOU LOSING TO A N*GG* WITH T*TTIES !!!"

    This iconic quote came from Bruce Seldon's trainer during his failed comeback attempt vs Gerald Nobles, I believe back in 2004.

    Unfortunately I can't find any clips of it but I watched it live and remember it well
