hearns in the first sugar ray fight? if it was the standard 12 rounder he'd prob have 2 wins over SRL now Even though it was ruled a draw in a recount michael broadie in the first injin chi fight was all heart, his face was something from a horror film after it but he kept on going kov in the first ward fight? groves in the first froch fight Macklin against Jaime moore maidana did alot better than anyone thought in the first mayweather fight although castillo prob came closer to the win mathysse beat up judah and alexander but ended up losing both on the other side i though provodinkov fought a really good fight againt lucas macklin was ahead on some of the scorecards before martinez stopped him same with Andy lee vs Chavez jnr (back when chavez was seen as a beast and actually had discipline) then theres lara, trout and GGG against canelo but thats more edging towards robberies rather than performances obv quite recently ryder vs smith just a few off the top of the head
Mcguigan v Cruz. Although he was expected to win, the heat really got to him, but he fought until he couldn't stand anymore
You're gonna laugh at me, as I laughed at myself when I thought it but Haye V Bellew 1 , Haye was ****ed before he got in the ring, then his Achilles went and he still fought on and tried to look for a way to win. Granted it was only Bellew and it was a panto match up but Haye had a rep for pulling out of fights and toe excuses but in my book gained a lot of respect for his efforts in the ring that night (regardless of what I thought about the PPV)
I will not include outright robberies that should've gone the other way. Quartey's loss to De La Hoya.
Sugar Ray Leonard vs Roberto Duran 1 Roberto Duran vs Marvin Hagler Pernell Whitaker vs Oscar de la Hoya Oscar de la Hoya vs Felix Trinidad
