As my favorite fighters are still listed as Pavlik and Dawson, their fights versus Adamek and Taylor were their crowning achievements. I certainly hope Dawson will be back in form with Pascal next week. Pavlik...well, Bika's suddenly available.
So many: Rafael Ruelas coming from behind to beat Pendleton(fight that made me a hardcore fan) Holyfield beating Tyson Barrera schooling the trash-talking Hamed Margarito demolishing Cotto(although I'm a Cotto fan too) Marquez getting up from 3 knock-downs and beating Pac(IMO) Sanchez stopping trash-talking Gomez......wow DLH stopping the trash-talking Vargas Chavez punishing the hell out of the trash-talking "macho" Camacho!
hatton staggering floyd in round 1, i have never seen a pub make so much noise in a boxinf fight. froch come from behind to stop jermain taylor. bruno outpointing oliver mccall. lewis standing toe to toe with vitali, and coming out on top. khan kayoing salita in round 1
Calzaghe dismantling the big hype job that was supposed to destroy him. A lot of people looked stupid that night. I wish the posts from this forum with the predictions for that fight were available. [yt]ttfnUbMmGTs[/yt]
Yeah an already beaten exposed version atsch whilst illegally using the head. Back to the thread. A great moment of a fighter I like was when Danny Williams beat Mike Tyson against the odds
Gonzarelli picked a few of mine - Holyfield against Tyson in their first fight and Margarito against Cotto, although I'm a fan of Cotto. Add: * Williams-Martinez, fans of both and both fought great against each other that night * Sanders over Wlad, making Sanders a favorite for a while * Calzaghe against Mitchell, coming off the canvas to end it * Frazier over Ali * Ali over Foreman * Foreman over Moorer * Mosley over Margarito (I know, already mentioned) * Dawson over Glen Johnson in their 2nd fight (some nice comeuppance for Chad after their first close fight) * Pavlik over KO Taylor (whom I like) after coming off the canvas in the 2nd * Toney over Ruiz (until you know what)
Yo you right on the money! This is my favorite too. I was crushed when Titio lost, but I haven't seen a performance that nice yet. B.Hop looked untouchable after that night.
This is a good one too. i must admit i was going for Lacy. Calzaghe put a whipping on his ass. Lacy kept on going though...I'll always give him that.
Sorry, I shouldn't talk. Vargas had roids for 1 fight. I just hate Margo. Wraps like that can kill or seriously injure people.
When Tommy beat Virgil Hill in 1991. It capped off a great career I thought. Beating Cuevas to win the welt title, Benitez jr middleweight, Duran defense, 5 titles in 5 divisions, superfights and then after some losses and the Leonard draw to beat a champ who was 5 years younger and undefeated and had 10 title defenses was unheard of. To this day Tommy does not get the credit he deserves.
