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

Well this fight took place long before i existed, Salvador Sanchez vs. Wilfredo Gomez. I was around 12 years old, when i went to the Escondido Swap Meet, there i bought i bootleg VHS tape, it had several fights, including Salvador Sanchez vs. Wilfredo Gomez, no one i knew at the time was a serious Boxing fan, so i knew nothing about them, i watched it, and i was shocked, loved every single minute of it, will never forget the day i saw that fight. I was obviously rutting for Sanchez simply because he was Mexican, after watching this i started checking out a fights from the pest by any means necessary(at the time i didn't even have a computer let alone Internet) so it was difficult, Sachez boxed superbly, and Gomez was a warrior.

now a when alive, Marquez vs Pacquiao 1, i was a Marquez fan, i was thinking Marquez can win this, i know it, when it started, it was lovely, .... but then manny dropped Marquez once... i was like ****! then again! i was like nooo!!! then the 3rd time and i was crushed, Pacman had KO'd Marquez in the 1st, and i had hoped he could somewhat avenge my current favorite fighter's(MAB) defeat, .... but Marquez got up!... i was sure Manny would KO Marquez in the next few rounds, but then Marquez started winning rounds and i came back to life. you guys know what happened next, since then i became i huge Marquez fan.

others:

Barrera vs Hamed (loved when people were throwing their drinks at Hamed, while he was flying :rofl)

 

I hope JMM gets his props after he's retired, a truly great boxer & it's just a pity that he had to live in the shadow of MAB & Eric. I think his trouble started when he turned down what arum offered him for a fight way back & he ended up getting stripped of his title as arum said he could'nt sell the fight & hence no other purse offers so he lost his belt, something like that i think, then he had to go east & fight chris john.

A master boxer indeed & one of the best counterpunchers i've seen in a long while, he had manny's number for me, there's always one out there that has someone's. Pity he had to go up & fight Mayweather but it's a biz after all & they all fight for pay at the end of the day:smoke

 

An admirable quality :good

 

How about Archie Moore at the age of 46, being dropped 3 times in the 1st round and once in the 4th,by thunderous punching Yvonne Durelle, then coming back to drop Durelle 4 times for an 11th rd ko?

 

I was around at the time and I actually had Foreman going into this fight. I had made a point of following George's career after he turned pro and with each fight I was more impressed with him. I loved Frazier, but I really thought that Foreman represented something new in the heavyweight division. Still, the utter destruction of Frazier was shocking. The fight couldn't have been more one-sided. After that pummeling, and the equally one-sided blitz of Norton, I thought that no one alive could beat Foreman. Of course, I soon learned that the moment you believe a fighter is unbeatable that is just about the time that someone else comes along to beat him. It's inevitable.

 

Great read.

 

very wrong to rate JMM over both EM and MAB, so continue to enlighten those CBs.

 

Obviously i should have structured the poste " As in getting his props with regard too MAB & Eric" regardless of any P4P ranking he's never been fully on the radar, always on the outside looking in & is only really talked about as in regard to the 1st Pac fight, always 2nd fiddle & never a main liner in the public conciousness more's the pity.

 

Ali vs Cleveland williams. Brilliant display of boxing.

 

Buster Douglas vs Tyson.

For one night Buster fought like a true great and showed everything; hand speed, combinations, power and above all grit and determination.

Makes you wonder what might have been?

 

Hearns demolition of Duran, two all time greats and Duran is knocked from pillar to post no one had done this before.

 

Despite my old timer bias, this might just be my favourite fight.

 

another great aweinspiring night was Gomez' asskicking against LaPorte. Before the fight Juan said the cfight could never be held in PR, because it would tear the island apart. HOW WRONG HE WAS. They were all for Gomez. One more laPorte gets hit early and fights defensive to last the distance. And with a cup up around his tits. W'out the cup so high, Gomez and McGigan might have stopped him. But LaPorte was easily cowed in fights. Pedroza did it two yeaqrs earlier. Gomez performance against Zarate of course was the best performance I'd seen besides Duran-Paliomino and Hagler-Sibson.:bbb
