My favourite probably comes from Duran in the rematch with De Jesus, from 2:42 to 2:47. What an animal. Best representation of Duran I can think of. That last big punch especially. Nobody could do that kinda stuff like him. [yt]CWjSy-Frlug[/yt]
It was something from the Dokes-Ocasio II fight, Michael could flow with that handspeed of his, and 90 seconds later and three knockdowns later, proved it.
Most will be aware of this, but I love watching this in slo' mo' :yep 6:39 [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nrwl0kvoCqg[/ame] Not even the best of Louis, he put together some of the best combinations I've ever seen against better opponents than this past prime Conn (some of the ferocious shots he put together in the shootout with Baer are awe inspiring for instance). But there's something about the savagery of this finish....and the way Louis turns into the last left hook and stays in that position, only peering over his shoulder to see what Conn looks like splattered over the canvas.
Love that under and over Arguello did in round 10 against Pryor. Right uppercut to the body then a wicked overhand right to the chin. And as Larry Merchant put it, 'It was a sign of greatness of both the thrower and the throwee'

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrYAljEhqy8[/ame] Not the best, but god damnit if I don't get confused every time Bradley makes his way up. 4:40ish
:thumbsupExactly what I thought it was gonna be. That whole fight is really something. What a display from Patterson. Grant looked like the goods, too. You can see why he was a highly touted prospect. Great clean in-fighting from both men early on before Floyd just started to take it up a few gears as the fight progressed. Just a great, great watch that fight.
Napoles butchered Adolph Pruitt with some of most savage combinations ever thrown. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GR-kuFNSXrA[/ame] 5:00 Napoles doubling up on the right hand really did him in. You have to appreciate that 3 punch combination on Urbina at 0:30 as well. Ezzard Charles during the later part of his career was sometimes reduced to pot-shotting his opponents but he unleashed the fury on poor Bernie Reynolds here: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2PutDflPYo[/ame] 1:55
:happy [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vS1rUHK30as[/ame] 2:40 I remember watching this fight live like it was yesterday!
