Greatest performance by any fighter ever caught on film ?

that used to be my avatar :good

 

Hopkins-Pavlik

 

really good point, but from a pure performance/exhibition of skills, it's hard to improve on those

 

Floyd - Gatti (RIP)

Calzaghe - Lacy

&

Tyson - Bruno (I think it was 2 but dont rememeber this fight, only the feeling as a kid that I just became a boxing/Tyson fan at the same time). I need to try find it on youtube actually

 

duran vs leonard 1 would be my 1st choice

others
chavez vs rosario
ali vs williams
mccallum vs watson (i was there man vs boy)
tyson vs biggs
laing vs collins
frazier vs ali 3

 

Jack Johnson when he stopped Tommy Burns in Sydney, Australia.

 

can't believe I didn't think of that one atsch

 

Sal Sanchez-Wilfredo Gomez for me. One of the finest super bantamweights ever vs one of the best featherweights the ring's seen; Sanchez put forth a fantastic performance against a fighter and puncher of the highest caliber squarely in both men's primes.

 

Whitaker vs Chavez
Whitaker in all honesty made the great Chavez look like an amature, so sad corruption ruined the outcome of the fight, but that was a masterful performance by Whitaker.

 

His fights against Haugen and Nelson were more impressive to tell the truth. Pea may be the best fighter I have seen on film as far as consistency is concerned. The guy had SEVERAL masterclasses.

 

I wouldn't say so, but a great performance nonetheless.

 

B-Hop vs Johnson

 

Floyd-Gatti isnt that impressive considering DLH,Baldomir,Manfredy and Gomez did the same to Gatti who lets be honest was a B - level fight. Floyd vs Diego Corrales is much better.

 

Trinidad vs Joppy!

 

Good thread!

wouldn't know where to start! I'll be boring and say ALI - Williams but...

Pacqiao v ODLH should be mentioned.

RJJ v Pazienza, Tyson - Berbick also
