    I don't rate Mayweather's performance against ODLH as one of his best, but he did have a number of bouts that could qualify. One you don't hear about often is his bout with Henry Bruseles. Bruseles wasn't anything special, but Mayweather was so at ease in that bout that he gave his input on an upcoming football game while he was inside the ring.

    Oleksandr Usyk vs. Murat Gassiev. A virtual shutout in a Lineal Championship.

    Winky Wright against Tito Trinidad. It wasn't a versatile defensive performance, but it was a commanding one.

    Vasyl Lomachenko versus Walters or Rigondeaux. He basically embarrassed those two into submission.

    Midget Wolgast vs. Black Bill. In a #1 against #2 fight, Wolgast was too quick and crafty. Wolgast pulled a number of tricks on Bill during the bout.

    Toney-Barkley 1
    Pure masterclass, I don't think Iran landed anything to be proud of the entire fight.

    I think it is in the 6th round...Barkley jabs, Toney catches it in his right glove, then shoots a right hand and lands it.

    I remember you said you met folks who trace their boxing skills to Ezzard Charles. Could you elaborate on what they learnt from the Cobra?
