What's the single most mindblowing performance you've ever witnessed.

Chacon against bazooka limon really blew me away

 

**** sake i'm split between 2 as well!!!

I'll go for Robinson against LaMotta then. I love the way that robinson paces himself in this fight, keeps it tight for the 1st 8 or 9 rounds. The footwork he shows is probably the best i've ever seen, keeps the distance exactly where he wants it, always able to throw punches, with leverage whether on the back front or on the offensive.

Then the way when LaMotta starts to get tired it like sugar flicks a switch, instead of playing the matador he becomes the destroyer. And he shows why i believe he has the best offense ever, power shots, thrown in all sorts of combinations, head and body and at every angle. A joy to watch the way he sits down on the punches and jake a horrendous beating. An all round complete performance in my opinion

Duran v Leonard was my 2nd choice

 

There's many but I'll go with

Sugar Ray Robinson's 13 Rd Stoppage of Jake LaMotta that's one of the fights that blow me away when ever I watch it.

 

The Jim Driscoll clip on yt.

Just kidding, really though i was impressed to be honest.

 

Duran v Leonard

 

I think... Duran-Palomino. Palomino was a good welterweight and is actually in the Hall of Fame. Some great fighters have retired after a long championship reign, but Duran came out of his, stepped up in weight, and won every round (maybe 9 to 1) against a very good opponent. With Duran's style, there were a lot of subtle things that the casual observer may not notice. Any others here who've watched the fight as often as I have can vouch for me, that Duran's performance here was near enough flawless. He looked as light on his feet as a bantamweight, his hands were as quick, and he swarmed, grappled, punched the body, retreated and threw combination punches as good as anyone in history.

Honourable ****ing mention #1: Louis-Schmeling II.

Honourable ****ing mention #2: Whitaker-Ramirez II.

 

benn vs mclelland...brutal, enthraling, tragic..it was like watching a car crash..you knew you shouldnt but you couldnt take your eyes off the sheer spectacle and violence of the occasion...almost feral savagery

 

It's one of my faves. what right hands from distance, savage but awe inspiring.

I'm trying to think.

 

Ayub Kalule vs Ho Joo

 

Miguel Lora vs Daniel Zaragoza is the one I'm stuck on at the moment. Lora put on a masterclass in this fight, with defensive intuitiveness I've only seen rivaled by Locche.

 

I've mentioned it before i think, but if you want a good laugh and ain't a rabid morales fan it's always worth watching that fight and then his fight with Morales, where he's an old faded fighter that can barely even throw a straight punch anymore.

Can't knock Erik too much given all the entertainment he's given us over the years, but his defence has to be the worst of any near elite boxer-puncher.
