    Khaokor Galaxy vs Sung Kil Moon 2 Was a masterful fight. Well it more resembled a hour long execution Galaxy scarcely lost a second against one of the most brutal, powerful and aggressive fighters the division had ever seen.

    What is your personal pick for the most masterful performance within the squared ring?

    One sided slappings while not concussive hurt a a lot Mum made sure I knew what it was like to fight Joe of Wales whenever I misbehaved.

    Buster Douglas vs Tyson, Douglas gave Tyson a whooping of mammoth proportions, bookies weren't even taking bets on the fight - such was Tyson's reputation.

    Duran vs Pipino could be a good addition to that list. Very good masterpiece by Roberto.

    Greatest skill performance:. Mayweather vs Gatti, don't recall Gatti landing a single punch in that fight and he kept walking into straight rights all night until it was waived off.

    Greatest focus in a fight:. Castillo vs Corrales 2....Castillo picked up right here he left off. The loss from previous fight seemed to have zero effect on him, it was obvious he was on a mission to KO Corrales and he went out there and fulfilled it.

    Most high stakes high drama: Holmes vs Cooney, I actually think this is a highly underrated fight, a grueling and gutty performance by both men. I always have respect for guys that are obviously being outgunned but keep coming for more nonetheless. As for Holmes, he put all the questions to bed about who are the superior athletes/fighters and he deserves more credit for doing so

    By sheer coincidence watched Holyfield/ Qwai 1 yesterday and would like to volunteer this fight for this thread, I mean Holy was a 12 fight novice pretty much, and Dwight was a battle hardened champ, who had achieved the impossible and dethroned a near mythical fighter renowned for his strength, power, and above all endurance.

    Well Holy fought a near perfect fight, no backing away, no dancing or running, just stayed in the pocket and fought his opponents fight, which on the surface , you wouldn't advise would you ?.
    For me a vastly underrated performance. keep well.

    Thought Pea put on some clinics. He made Haughen look like he never put on a boxing glove.
    Rameriz 2 he put some amazing moves on Jose.

    Buddy schooled and then stopped Warren the second time.
    He also got Brown too.
    Kalambay vs MCcallum 1 was a clinic.
    Hearns vs Benitez was a great clinic.
    Liked Talks vs Romero.

    Fury in Wilder I.

    He returned after many months of inactivity and various addictions. He was KDed twice and he won the fight even if was declared a draw. Stunning performance for heart, stamina, recovery from a double KD by one of the most powerful punchers ever, concentration, rhythm, IQ ring.
