    #1 without doubt is Holmes vs. the Great White Hype (Gerry Cooney) Holmes sticks to business and destroys Cooney. You could see the look in Cooney's eyes, after he took his first pummeling. "This guy is good!"

    A close second was Hopkins - Trinidad. Trinidad never impressed me. He didn't look that good as a boxer. De la Hoya boxed him silly and was the victim of a bad decision. Without those custom wraps he would have been a nobody. What a fraud.

    Shakur over Teo, I loved seeing Teo just lose confidence after every round.

    After all the "rabbit", "middleweight" talk and A side games, seeing Usyk rock Fury big ass and damn near ko him was one of my favorite boxing moments.

    I’ve always said the most satisfying fight I ever saw was Marcos Maidana beating the crap out of Adrien Broner

    You are on fire today, Seamus. Unfortunately, I seem to be the only one on here who gets your jokes.

    Watching racist Hopkins get beat by a white boy that he declared would never happen. Watching it happen again against a very marginal and limited Joe Smith while flying through the ropes was even better.

    Fury putting and end to the Wilder hype train in dominating fashion.

    Barrera schooling Hamed.

    Duran beating Barkley in a barn burner of a fight.

    Haney getting rocked by Ryan and then suing like a prissy diva to get it overturned.

    Maidana delivered Broner his first loss.

    Crawford putting the boogeyman to rest (Spence)

    Pac pulverizing Margarito and Rios

    Pac defeating Thurman to become oldest WW to win title

    Cotto working over Margarito in rematch

    Mayorga blasting out Forrest after he entered the ring rapping and dancing
