When Roberto Duran himself tells you you're insane for wanting to fight him then that should tell you something
Pacquiao vs. Morales III That final knockdown where Morales realises he has absolutely nothing to give Pacquiao, and that it's over. One of the saddest images in boxing. Sadder than De La Hoya on his stool imo. This content is protected
I still remember that night. I was so upset. Morales is the guy who got me into boxing. Wathing Morales-MAB made me the obsessed boxing fan i am now. I remember i went outside and even had a smoke.
Lol. Hell yeah Morales got me into boxing too man. He was my first favorite fighter. I was the only one in the room rooting for Morales during all of those Pacman fights. Everyone looked at me when he quit. Oh well. I still love the guy.
:good Favorite... geez, it's usually the last one I saw. But since the Suzie Q got mentioned, let's not forget this one. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmojnJNIyA8[/ame]
Just now rewatched that round. Even today it makes me sad to see Morales go down like that. He just looked so utterly beat after showing so much heart after the first two knockdowns.
Sorry to break it to you but hearns is 6'1 and duran is 5'6 and a career light weight at that. When hearns stepped up to someone his size he got KTFO, in hagler and leaonard.
I liked the first knockdown when he leans over the ropes and says "****" meaning "I really ****ed up by taking this one".
This isn't my favourite but I saw it earlier today, was pretty impressed, and figured I'd Pump Paul McCloskey's tires seen as he I feel he's the best kept secrete in the Junior Welterweight division. And because he has a big fight coming up with Khan. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FbpLu5MtMk[/ame]
Just for the record: Being KO'ed and being stopped are totally different from each other. I am not a very big fan of the KO due to the damage it might incur. Just look at Pettiway vs Simon Brown to see horror. At the same time, it is exciting when you see someone like Corrales losing and then takes out someone like Castillo or Lewis vs Bruno. Menacing KO artist are guys like Hearns and Julian Jackson.
Requirements: - single shot ko - ko of an all time great chin - coming from behind on the cards = Robinson - Fullmer
