    Gainer vs Kevin Kelly is probably the fight that got me into boxing the most.

    Tarver/Jones.

    What people forget is that Jones had one of his best rounds against Tarver in the first round of that fight.

    Meanwhile, Pac had already been dropped and hurt against Marquez earlier in the fight.

    Has to be Roy. The greatest fighter of his generation, the untouchable superman dropped like a sack of **** just like that. Unreal.

    1st fight - Jones wins decision, tough fight
    2nd fight - Jones gets KO'd (after looking excellent the first round. He looked better in the first round in the rematch then he did any round of their first fight. Making the 'he was ko'd because of the weight' excuse pretty fawlty, imo)
    3rd fight - Tarver wins decision

    I didnt see the Jones KO when it first happened, so I cant attest to that. But I'm still shocked over the Pacquiao KO. It's the last thing I would have ever expected to see.

    Not close, Tarver to me was not in jones league. I imagine if that fight happened before jones going to the Heavyweights, it would of been different. Tarver was nice underdog for a reason.
    Marquez is a great counter puncher, an manny gets sloppy a lot, it not really shocking once you let it sink in. Tarver would never of went up an beat Ruiz, Tarver fought jones at the right time in jones career. Even now it still weird to think tarver KO jones. Tarver just wasn't that great of a boxer.

    Tarver vs. Jones 2 by far to me...

    I was expecting Jones to go into the 2nd fight in full strength and dominate Tarver... The couple rounds looked like a typical Jones LHW fight... All up until the huge punch...

    I couldn't believe my eyes...

    I wasn't that shocked when Marquez knocked out Manny.. Sure I was surprised, but knew that Marquez had his number, and was very good at countering him. No one was good at countering Jones Jr..

    As far as voting in the poll goes, I have to go with the Pac ko because I saw it live. I was at work, and missed the Jones ko. In the grand scheme of things, however, the kos are pretty much on par.
