Best performance of the decade?

I agree with BHop.

Going in to the Garden and dominating Trinidad like that is probably the most impressive victory of the decade.

 

Pacquiao-Barrera I?

This fight was supposed to be a tuneup for the inevitable EM-MAB rubber match.

 

1. Manny Pacquiao vs Marco Antonio Barrera I
2. Bernard Hopkins vs Tito Trinidad
3. Marco Antonio Barrera vs Naseem Hamed
4. Floyd Mayweather vs Diego Corrales
5. Vernon Forrest vs Shane Mosley I

 

Hop-Tito.

Tito was considered by many to be the best pound for pound fighter in the world and looked better than ever demolishing Joppy in his first fight at 160,most boxing experts thought that is fire power would be too much for Hopkins and that Bernard's only chance of winning was to make it an ugly fight but Bernard surprised everyone that night by putting one of the most impressive boxing displays in the history of the sport,outboxing and outpunching Tito to win the 160 pound tourney and become the first undisputed midleweight champion in years.

 

PBF-Chico quite simply the best exhibition of boxing of this era and one of the best of the last 25 years.:deal The lateral movement, the speed, the jab, the countering, the defense, the ring generalship all top notch and haven't been duplicated since the sweet science at it's highest level.

Honorable mention
Winky-Tito a boxing clinic 101.
PBF-Gatti A demolition job of the highest order.
Hopkins-Tito Schools in session.
Calzaghe-Lacy a one-sided ass kicking from start to finish

 

1. Pacquiao v Barrera
2. Hopkins v Tito
3. Mayweather v Corrales
4. Calzaghe v Lacy
5. Sugar Shane v Margarito

Was ****ing murder to split numbers 1 & 2.

Honorable mentions - Pacquiao v Cotto, Barrera v Hamed, Darchinyan v Mijares, Winky v Tito, Hopkins v Pavlik.

 

1. Norman Stone's performance in the Ruiz corner for the Golota fight was scintillating, unheard of, one of the things you never seen in boxing.
2. Hopkins-Trinidad
3. Pacquiao-Barrera

 

EM Pac 1
Pac-MAB 1
BHop-Tito
PBF-Chico
MAB-Naz

 

Hopkins-Tito.

Easy.

The old man (36 entering the fight) was supposed to add his aging chin and the MW Championship to Tito's knockout collection, instead he made the beating of P4P#2 Tito look like a full scale military war over a small village chicken farm. He produced one of the finest ever skilled performance, one of the biggest upsets of the decade, his ring ticket into the HOF, the Lineal Undisputed World MW championship around his waist and of course, the P4P#1 position.

 

That was a BS knockdown.

 

Lacy was a hypejob

 

:good

Who would have known Hopkins was probably entering his prime at 38!
