G-Man Vs Benn Benn Vs Eubank I and II Eubank Vs Watson on that tragic night Eubank Vs Thompson - epitome of Chris' warrior spirit, will and chin.
Just watched this fight, great finish by Philips when it looked like Tszyu was going to edge him out, thanks for mentioning.
I will throw Leon Spinks win over Ali in 1978 into the mix, undisputed champion in his 8th pro bout, a young whippersnapper achieving the unimaginable Have to say it brings back good memories and emotions, a wet behind the ears teenage Kernow still in recruit training, watching the bout with rest of recruits. That image of Spinks being lifted aloft on getting the decision sure was a Rocky moment.
Mayweather schooling Pacquiao and the ensuing crying from casuals and hardcore boxing fans alike. Brought happy tears to my eyes
Holyfield - Bowe 1 - when Holyfield had been pulverized for most of round 10 and then started to rally….amazing stuff. I love that fight in general. Watched it live on TV and I remember thinking “five rounds have gone by already?!”. Both fighters left the ring with boosted reputations.
Hearns vs Leonard 2- I didn't think Tommy had anything left to beat Leonard and during the introductions Tommy just gave Leonard that look. I was shocked at the determination that Hearns showed that night - he wanted it so bad. Ward vs Gatti 1 - the punishment they both were willing to take in order to win - I still can't believe Gatti got up from that body shot. Bobby Chacon vs Limon 4/ Boza Edwards 2 - Chacon just would not be denied no matter what. Blood streaming down his face his face busted beyond belief and there he is looking to bomb with that right-hand.
