    The idea here is to pick the fight what you think is the greatest performance in boxing history, you can pick for multiple reason wheather it based on the heart, skill , power or the dominace showed in the fight, its up to you.

    {you can pick any fight you want it doe'st have to be in the list it can be any fight in history , so pick whatever fight you want and give the reason for your choice}

    A past his prime Ali dominating a Foreman who had been blowing everyone out. Even though he had lost to Frazier and Norton, and barely squeaked by them in rematches, there was no doubt in Ali's mind that he would toy with Foreman before KO'ing him.

    Foreman Vs Frazier I was pretty stunning.

    How about Foreman Vs Moorer anyone??

    Jones Vs Toney was destruction.

    Spinks Vs Holmes I should not be underestimated.

    Tyson Vs Spinks

    Duran Vs Hagler (depite losing, for a LW to do that top a top 3 MW in history is unreal).

    SRR Vs LaMotta VI

    Robinson LaMotta VI. A backfoot punching performance against a fighter with a size and style advantage who also happens to be one of the greatest MW's of all time. A unique performance.

    Controversial but.....

    Leonard vs Hagler must be up there. Leonard coming off a long lay off with no tune up fight having looked less than spectacular against Kevin Howard and even getting dropped in the fight, then coming back to face a full blown MW who was one of the best MW's of all time and defeating him to seal his legacy.

    Douglas vs Tyson for me. Douglas fought a guy that was so destructive that he was just blowing out everyone that he fought. THe odds were 40-1 against him and the over under on the fight was one round, that just gives you an idea of what he was up against.

    He not only one but dominated and stopped Tyson.

    Er, Tyson knocked him down in the 8th...and there is an argument that there was a long count which saved Douglas's ass.

    But, yeah, it was a dominant performance, bar that almost being counted out bit.

    RJJ vs Ruiz for the potential that Ruiz could hit Jones even once on the chin in the 12 rounds and end it. Ok, maybe not.

    Marquez getting up from the ground 3 times only to show the world that his opponent learned how to box from a cereal box carton was amazing.
