    1.Frazier beating Ali in the first fight, that left hook will forever be remembered.

    2.Duran moving to 147 and beating one of the greatest WW of all time in Sugar Ray Leonard

    3. When Morales beat Pacquiao. I still remember the 12th round, Morales turns southpaw and trades with pac. Morales gets hurt twice but continues to brawl with Pac despite being clearly ahead on the judges scorecards. Balls.

    Didn't his corner pull him out against mcbride and tell him not to go out for the next round?

    I believe he quit against holy in the rematch, I think he knew he wasn't overcoming holy that night.

    What was unbelievable to me was that Ali didn't beat Foreman w/ his skills. He beat Foreman by outsmarting him. Foreman fell for Ali's rope a dope trick hook, line and sinker. Frazier once said that Foreman fought a stupid fight.

    But Ali was out-punching Foreman all night. He completely outclassed him, as well as outsmarted him.

    It was Duran - Pedro Mebdoza in Nicaragua. Apparently the Nicaraguan President met Duran the week before and asked him to take it easy on their national champion. Within a round, Duran lost his temper and knocked Mendoza spark out. Mendoza's wife then jumps in and booby Goodman (who worked for Don King said 'He (Duran) just whirled around and flattened the broad with a right hand, better than the one he has starched her husband with.' Brilliant!

    nice pull, my friend. That was terrific. Morales last, best, stand. He didn't need to do it, but did it anyway. I wish I would have known more of Morales as I was growing up and he was in his prime. Hell, even in his third fight with Pacquaio, his little nod to his corner saying "eff this, i'm not getting up" was done with class and intelligence. Long live El Terrible!

    Probably Sanchez's 8th-round TKO of the favored Gomez. Besides being the opponent that truly put him in the spotlight, with Gomez being touted as the best pound for pound and all, it meant a lot to him as well because it was a Mexico-Puerto Rico thing. The whole thing was full of win.
