    foreman scored the knockout, while down on the scorecards. I made that clear in the post you quoted.

    Foreman by far. No one saw George winning that fight, but George.

    That whole round he was setting him up for the 1-2. When that right hit Moorer flush on the chin...he folded like a lawn chair.

    Foreman's win against Moorer marked one of (if not the) greatest comebacks in the history of sports nevermind just boxing.

    The question wasn't about who performed better on the night, it was about who's win was better, under that criteria it has to be Big George.

    Foreman's win is clearly more significant historically than either of the others, it was also the greater achievement given the circumstances.

    Floyd's win over Corales was good, but Diego is rather overrated here. As is often the case, fighters with crowd pleasing styles are rated above their abilities. I'm not saying that he wasn't a very good fighter, but this was not a career defining fight for Floyd by any stretch of the imagination. Diego was very drained at 130, and tailor made for Floyd...it's just not as impressive to me as some people seem to think it is.

    Pac's win over Cotto was nothing particularly special for me. Cotto seemed past his best (psychologically/emotionally) by that stage, and I didn't expect much from him at all. His performance against Floyd was a turn around, but not enough to elevate this fight on Pac's resume.
