    Of the last decade ? let me think of some good candidates......

    Rungvisai beating Roman Gonzalez twice especially the 2nd fight with the KO.

    Froch destroying Lucian Bute.

    Mayweather schooling Canelo.

    Lomachenko making Rigondeaux quit.

    Usyk beating Joshua, Bivol beating Canelo, and Lopez beating Lomachenko.

    It doesn’t beat Harry Greb’s win over Tunney in 1922.

    Rating the Fulton win the same as this seems crazy. I get it was his first fight in a 4th class but that doesn't outweigh the disparity in quality of fighter they were facing. The Fulton win doesn't even belong in the conversation imo.

    Someone can acknowledge that destroying Errol Spence is better than destroying Fulton, without taking anything away from Inoues accomplishment and the impressiveness of it.

    Each one of these fails to compare, imo.

    Usyk beating AJ is a good shout, but, despite what people like to believe, the AJ fights were hard on Usyk, and he got touched up quite a bit.

    Crawford dealt with Spence much easier than Usyk dealt with AJ. And in the process of barely getting so much as a scratch against Errol, he dished out magnitudes more damage in the process than Usyk did to AJ.

    He got hit more, took more damage, while dealing out less damage. Thats tge epitome of less impressive, imo.
    Usyks fight against AJ wasn't quite to the degree of master class as Crawfords was.


    Bivol vs Canelo isn't close. Canelo shouldn't even be fighting that high in weight. Easier to have those kinds of performances when you're the bigger guy. Add to that he didn't score a single knock down, let alone the total destruction Crawford did in route to a stoppage.

    Same goes above for Lopez Loma.

    Winning a close borderline controversial decision against an older smaller champion isn't in the same class as destroying a bigger and younger champion.

    Bivol schooling Canelo was a thing of beauty

    Fulton is not even in the same bracket as Spence "was"... That ain't the Spence that beat up Porter.

    Magnificent from Crawford. I can't think of a better performance in the last decade.

    Morales was past his best, had just lost to Barrrera, and was having a hard time making 130.

    Inoue going up in weight and dominating the recognized #1 and champ, stopping him in 8.

    Not this decade but Hopkins dominating Trinidad comes to mind. Owns him throughout, stops him in the 12th.
