    Srisaket Sor Rungvisai upsetting Roman Gonzalez. Great bloody battle throughout.
    Pacquiao against Oscar de la Hoya. This was the fight that really put Pacquiao into super stardom.

    I was at that fight. The atmosphere was absolutely surreal. It felt like the whole crowd was witnessing the triumph of good over evil. When Tyson suffered the knockdown in the sixth round, the entire place erupted. It was incredibly intense.

    Ali-Foreman. Nobody in my neck of the woods expected Ali to win, in fact we were all sure he'd be stopped. Going to watch that fight my friends and I were quiet like we were going to an execution. Of course, I was as shocked as everyone else when Ali seemed to dominate beginning with the very first round.

    Unbeaten Amir Khan been annihilated by the unheralded Breidis Prescott was as exciting as it was unexpected.

    Are we going by betting odds and perception at the time?

    For example I would then say Whitaker vs Chavez

    In reality though, like how the f, probably Ali vs. Foreman

    Mayweather vs McGregor

    After watching Conor in the octagon I though for sure he was gonna knock that fraud Floyd unconscious.

    John Michael Johnson bursting the Junior Jones balloon was pretty satisfying after the premature talk of Jones being a future ATG, a pocket Thomas Hearns. A bit of a quick stoppage but the outcome would have been the same. And no one wanted to see Jones seriously hurt.
