    1) That last shot Ali hit Foreman with.

    2) Ken Norton doggedly walking through a KILLER left uppercut from Holmes in the last round of their fight.

    Some great replies so far. There are so many to mention, and so many that I've probably forgotten.

    Julian Jackson pointing to the spot where Buster Drayton would land, as he was falling.
    Don Curry's left hook on Milton McCrory. It's honestly one of the most beautiful punches ever thrown in my book.

    Duran showing none of the usual respect fighters show each other after a fight, to Leonard, instead shoving him and grabbing his crotch and arguing with someone (a fighter, I think) at ringside.
    Not normally something I'd think is cool, but it's Duran. He gets a pass.

    Also Duran, after beating Adolpho Viruet. Adolpho was being consoled by brother Edwin (who Duran also beat) in the dressing room.
    In walks Duran.
    Maybe Duran came to show his respect? Hell no.
    "Next time, your father!"
    (Duran had a feud with the Viruets)

    Joe Frazier continuing to get up and refusing to give up against Foreman when the result is all but a formality.

    This song gives me chills thinking of that fight.
    "Heyyy Baby there ain't not easy way out"
    as Joe smacks the sides of his head after the knockdown "Come on George"
    no doubt at all in his eyes, he never thought he was gonna lose till the last second of a fight.

    Joe really was a kill or be killed kind of guy and this fight proved that as small as he might be as hopeless of a fight as it could be you could always count on Joe to come out every round trying to make it into a fight you needed a gun to put him down for the count.

    Marvin Hagler absorbing that sickeningly hard right uppercut in round 6 from Mugabi. His head snapped and rolled back, but Hagler's only reaction was to sneer "#$%& you" at Mugabi and fire back. He never even broke stride. Anyone else would probably have been decapitated.

    I recall Iran Barkley saying “I wouldn’t let that guy beat me if I was drunk” after destroying the favoured Darrin Van Horn.

    James Toney also trash talked Barkley prefight suggesting that they settle the matter outside the ring and Iran snarled “I don’t think you know who you’re ****ing with. I’ll stomp a hole in your chest right now” Toney blew him a kiss but shut the hell up too.

    Barkley was a hard arse.

    Saw a thread titled Barkley would stomp a hole in Canelo's chest or something like that.
    Now I know why.
