    :hi:
    That fight was ages ago and took place in a very high altitude that Hopkins wasn't used to. Fluke perfomance by Mercado. You saw what happened to him when they fought in the states.:hi:

    Hands of Sponge that is one hell of an avatar almost as good as Gayweather's crying scene...
    But I can look at this one all day long with pure unadulterated thoughts
    of sheer admiration.

    Benitez, Toney & Pep also deserve to be an option. I would exclude Roy because Roy's D wasn't the caliber of all the others listed, his D was ALL reflexes. But I think the safest vote Pernell, he gets my vote

    I don't think Floyd's been hit flush or stunned in his whole career. That's pretty remarkable.

    A few times. Not many, but a few times he's been caught flush. But I find it remarkable that he's never been knocked down by a punch
