What is the most badass thing a boxer has ever done in the ring?

Badass or just being a jerk a-hole? You think Wilder saying he wanted a body on his record was being badass as well?

 

Rise from the dead and make the opponent pay for that knockdown.

That, and going out on their shield. Frazier against Foreman. Tyson against Lewis. Knowing you'd lost, yet keeping advancing into that beating anyway.

 

Ricardo Mayorga challenging Vernon Forrest to hit him with his best right hand

 

Pernell Whitaker pulling down Roger Mayweather’s trunks

 

Saad Muhammad getting up against Kates and knocking him the **** out shortly after.

Same goes for Moore against Durrele.

 

Bernard Hopkins in his 40s doing push ups in a middle of a fight vs Jean Pascal.

Hopkins winning with one arm against Echols.

Same for Danny Williams winning with one arm vs Potter.

 

What are you trippin about? He's not the only one whose claimed they wanted to kill their opponent. Taking it too seriously.

 

Jimmy Wilde stopping a featherweight is up there.

RJJ's hands behind the back hook KO

 

A few that are always stuck in my head.

Joe Frazier pulling Ali off the ropes in their first fight,

Larry Holmes schooling Ray Mercer and looking into the camera mid-fight saying "I'm not
Tommy Morrison"

Tarver asking Roy Jones Jr; "got any excuses tonight?"

Lennox Lewis staring at Shannon Briggs after taking a few hits, smiling and then dropping him.

Maybe my favorite, Larry Holmes getting mad during his fight with Greer. He walks him into the corner with is hands at his side and then proceeds to through right hooks non stop until Greer gets KOd and landing on his face.

*edited Thought of a few more essentials

 

Morales vs Pacquiao 1 round 12

 

I like that Floyd Mayweather Jr fight where he knocked out the guy who butted him, then wanted to hug it out, and apologize again, and maybe send him some chocolates and give him a kiss on the cheek, then apologize again.

Enough of that ****. You fouled him intentionally. The ref did his thing and said let’s fight. Finally Floyd just said screw this and knocked him slap out.

 

Barrera slamming Hamed into the ring post.
