Most satisfying win as a boxing fan?

Nothing trumps Povektin's KTFO of Whyte.

Maidana/Broner is a distant 2nd.

 

Fury-wilder 2

 

Mosley vs Margarito (this one more than any other. What Margarito did is against the sport, truly disgusting).

Others include:

Castro vs Jackson 1

Lopez vs Alvarez 2

Johnson vs Tarver 1

Castillejo vs Sturm 1

De La Hoya vs Mayorga

Marquez vs Pacquiao 4 (I love Manny, but it wasn't fair that Marquez had two losses and a draw after his first three fights)

 

Hamed vs Barrera is the gold standard for me. The first and only actual elite name he fought, someone he couldn't weight-bully or intimidate, and got absolutely schooled.

Special mentions for Mosley vs Margarito and Broner vs Maidana.

Personal favourites:

Scott Fitzgerald vs Anthony Fowler
Michael Gomez vs Alex Arthur
Calzaghe vs Lacy

 

Your second line hit both of my picks.. One being my profile pic here.

 

Definitely Usyk-Dubois 2.

If Hrgovic could pull off the upset vs Itauma, then I'll have to include that one too.

 

Sanders / Wlad Klitschko for me. I knew Sanders was champion material, but he'd struggled to get the fights that mattered, and when he did, like against Rahman, he was plagued by injury. I had that feeling going into the fight that Sanders would pull out all the stops and show what he could do, and he delivered.

 

Satisfyimg makes this an interesting question. For me, there are three.


Ali over Foreman in 1974
Chacon over Limon in 1982
and of course, Maidana over Broner in 2013

 

So are you actually able to pick one as your most satisfying win from all that?

 

Wilder vs Fury 2 and 3.
Maidana vs Broner.
Martinez vs Williams (nothing against pwill, but that's how you take it out of the hand of the judges)

Wilder is still so bitter about it. He hasn't accepted those losses yet.

 

Smith vs Hopkins was very satisfying. Bhop is an ATG, but dirty as hell.

 

Horn & Manny.

 

Judah looked like he was disappearing up his own jacksie as he dropped for the second time.
