Best Win of All Time?

Considering Leonard DUCKED Hagler for years and wanted nothing to do with Marvin until MMH was shot,as Leonard well knew,your choice would be absolutely incorrect.

 

said it before and i'll throw it in here: pep over saddler in their second fight. this was a post plane crash pep with well over a hundred fights on his ledger, a shade past the pep that he was before the accident against a prime, all time great featherweight in saddler who had knocked him out in four previously

executing what has been described as a perfect, disciplined game plan he outfoxed and outmoved saddler over 15 rounds to recover the belt. for me, what makes it so special is that saddler seemed to have peps number. he won the other 3 fights, all by knockout. for pep to win against a fighter like that is incredible as saddler was obviously pep's kryptonite and the skill needed to maintain a 15 round decision against such an opponent must have been incredible.

Ended the goddamn Cold War.

 

Ali KO Foreman. Think this is very clear.

 

Douglas over Tyson.

I don't think anybody was ever held in the same regard as Mike Tyson was held at the time he fought Buster. Tyson was seen as unbeatable, most people thought at that point that he could only get better. He managed to convince true boxing purists and credible sports writers (some who would later turn on him) that he simply is the baddest man on the planet and even topped the p4p lists during the late 80s when guys like Curry, Chavez, Whitaker and Taylor were active in the lower weights.

This edges Ali vs Foreman, because although Foreman was regarded as a Champ who would rule until he got old, this distinction was never given him to him until after Frazier. I mean there is a reason why Tyson was given so many chances up until old age. He was simply regarded to be a more talented fighter. He was regarded as more vicious. Foreman would never the same kind of chances that Tyson got in his career, fortunately for George he didn't need to, he forged a great future after Zaire.

This edges Ali vs. Liston because Liston at that point was seen as the best HW on the planet but he was past 30 an age with is synonymous with a pending decline. Not to mention he already lost one at that point. It was an upset and a great win over a great fighter but doesn't quite do it as the best win.

This edges Frazier vs. Ali because (maybe not so much in retrospect) Ali was never held in the same regard in 1971 as as Tyson was in 1990.

This edges Schmeling vs. Louis because frankly Louis was a rising star and a serious contender for the title but he wasn't there yet. If Conn had beaten Louis I'd reconsider my assessment. I think from an American or Allied Standpoint the rematch was a hell of a victory but that's about it.

I favor it over Duran vs. Leonard. Although come to think of it prime SRL was a scalp. A serious one at that.

I suppose Lamotta over Robinson would have to be acknowledged.

 

I think I'll actually have to change my first place vote to Burley beating Moore considering the dominance of the win and considering that he was a career welterweight/middleweight fighter easily trouncing a consensus top 3 light heavyweight.

 

George Foreman KO Michael Moorer- i mean how much sweeter can it be beating the champ when your 46 yrs old.

Duran-Leonard I when both were at their absolute best
Past his prime Ali over Foreman the destroyer who continued to destroy 20yrs later
Hagler-Hearns 2 legends close their best and laying down their best. Kinda like Pacquiao and Floyd going toe to toe nonstop for 3 rounds.

 

Pernell beating a unbeaten Chavez in mexico

 

To many to pick 1 here are some of the best
Chavez ko Taylor 1
Sanchez ko Gomez
Toney ko Nunn
DLH ko Vargas
Corrales ko Castillo 1
Sanchez ko Nelson

 

Cant wait till the kids go back to school.

 

Nah, Greb was faded and blind on one eye. Walker was in his prime. Walker is p4p better than Tunney. The only argument for Greb-Tunney is that Tunney was bigger than Walker but then it was a better, nearer to his prime Greb than the one against Walker.

I stick with Walker.
