    Hatton bullying Tzyu around the ring. Didn't think I would ever see Koysta get out muscled at 140.

    Tim Bradley outboxing and outmoving JMM should also be mentioned. I still consider that an underrated performance and a great win.

    Lomachenko outboxing the master boxer Rigondeaux. He pretty much fought at Rigo's pace and just used his own boxing abilities to beat him at his own game when many thought that Rigo would be the one to give him problems with his boxing skills.

    Mike McCallum deciding to out-fight Julian Jackson in 2 rounds should be mentioned.
