    Many to name obviously.

    Floyd has put on many-a-master class. The master period. Hit, and not get hit. He destroyed Pacman and made him look a mug. Man that was satisfying. I'll tell you I ended up a Floyd Fan after rooting against him so many times. He was just that good. I came to appreciate the poetry in motion. It was as if you were watching a computer game, his slickness, precision, movements. All that stuff. Counter punching and dodging, ducking and weaving. It was as if you chose the No 1 fighter on Knockout Kings to play with, and he didn't let you down.

    B-Hop vs Trinidad was gold. Love that knockout after he already broke him down. B-Hop was a gun.

    R.J.J vs Glen Kelly lol. The boy from Oz got made to look like an amateur. The hands behind the back trick then sneaky K.O. Man what a show.

    Roy Jones Jr's greatest knockouts vol. 1 - Glen Kelly - YouTube

    Kostya Tszyu vs Zab Judah and the chicken dance. Lol. And also vs Sharmba Mitchell the 2nd fight.

    Sugar Shane vs Margerito. Man what a fight.

    Tim Tszyu in his first fight in The States. Got floored in round 1 then got up like a Zombie and walked him down the whole fight and battered Gausha silly. As his brother did vs Dylan Biggs.

    Pacman vs Hatton.

    Ther are many. Originally I was going to go one's that were somewhat unexpected but a master class is a master class.

    Judah vs Millet was pretty cool.

    Neesham put on many. Calzaghe also. He flogged Jermaine Taylor and that was the beginning of the end for him professionally and personally I'm sad to say.

    As nuch as I still think he cherry picked flat footed plodders up at 147, Floyd vs Gatti left an impression on me, old or not he still had a belt n could hardly get a shot off Floyd was that dominant…
    B-Hop vs Pavlik left an impression on me also, Pavlik hardly let go of more than 1 jab at a time from memory, I was expecting a fight of the centuary type of contest at the time…
    Add many GGG, Ali and plenty of others too but those 2 I mentioned left big impressions on me as types of “masterclasses”

    Winky Wright literally almost won every second of every round against Trinidad.

    Well Lomachenko made for consecutive fighters quit on their stool out of pure frustration, never been done before.

    Pretty sure Sosa´s corner stopped the fight because Sosa got the living crap beat out of him. The 9th round was absolutely brutal.
    Sosa accepted it, but it was his corners call. That crazy ****er would have absolutely gone back in there if given the chance.
    It always irks me when someone says he quit. Maybe it´s because Sosa fought his heart out unlike Walters and Rigondeaux.

    Imo, Trinidad should be ashamed of that performance. Not cause he lost every round, but how he lost them. Embarrassing that a high level fighter can be that clueless in avoiding a jab. Mosley got schooled but it wasn't in that manner.

    A Masterclass ending in a 7-5 type decision?

    Glorified tag & sparring sessions don't count as "destroyed"

    Destroy is what Subriel Matias does to his opponents by breaking their will to fight & taking years off their career & perhaps life as well with the thudding arm punches he keeps landing. People legitimately fear for their life to fight him after what happened with Dadashev & his subsequent performances because his power isn't that 1 punch KO but rather hundreds of thudding arm punches that turn your face & body into a bloody mess
