    Technically speaking, Frazier-Ali one was the biggest fight ever so I would have to say that was the best win ever.

    It was an outstanding win.

    I'd say Ali over Foreman was better.

    Other great wins:
    Douglas over Tyson
    Schmeling over Louis
    Frazier over Ali
    Ali over Liston
    Leonard over Hagler
    Maxim over Robinson
    Turpin over Robinson
    LaMotta over Robinson

    Possibly.

    But Frazier over Ali and Ali over Foreman deserve a mention.

    It was a great win and performance,but the best?
    Nowhere near IMO.Cholo is a legend and his performance against Hagler wasn't far from this if you're using the same criteria.

    Please, no more merging. We will have to scroll through million of pages of comments. You all should just let people make threads the way they want, instead of merging them just because the topics are slightly similar.

    overrated. Leonard was just on his second title defense of his first title. he was not a superfighter yet and fought Roberto's fight. The irony is Roberto later on was Ray's two easiest fights. So to say this was a great win, should have been proven by Roberto that he could beat Ray and knock him out, something he never could do.

    Leonard was in his physical prime when Duran got hold of him. And he did that when he himself was no longer at his peak.

    Neither did Hagler or Hearns, Leonard not being KO'd does not say anything about their strength, it says he had a damn good chin...
