#1 - Marquez seeks the ropes and further punishment rather than a knee(from around 9:00 [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6Di2j1z9xw[/ame] In the last minute of the greatest trilogy ever fought Marquez decides to take the pain. Every ****ing guy who has quit on his stool this year needs to have a look at this guy in action. Heart-stopping, still #2 - Hopkins stares down the press (from around 6:30) [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXVuqEwJGoI[/ame] After putting on probably the greatest ever performance by a boxer over 40, Hopkins, close to tears, stares down the press row which had picked overwhelmingly against him and turned Pavlik into a 4/1 favourite - a rare one sided beating made a mockery of this. Goosebumps all round. #3 - Pacquiao flattens Hatton (from around 3:10) [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqzA9TycW-Y[/ame] An astonishing KO. A punch that Ring described as being likely to knock out "anyone currently at 140 or 147" ends an exciting night very early in a one sided demolition. Unforgettable. #4 - The warrior Morales switches to southpaw and goes to war with Pacquiao in round 12 (from 0.10) [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LFjuGqOlk4[/ame] "Don't do anything stupid" was the last word to Morales before he went out to defend his big lead. Morales ignores the advice. I nearly ****. #5 - Gatti and Ward 1 round 9 - Gatti rallies (from around 0.40) [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDeKvv1HSzQ[/ame] Rest in peace that great man There are loads I've left out - Corales fans are going to go mental and rightly so. But it's personal. We've had some decade. These are my picks. What are yours?
dude that is a fantastic list! when i saw the thread title i thought gatti ward round 9 and pac-morales 1 but the other 3 (especially hopkins and the press) are brilliant picks
The final round of Corales Castillo should be on that list. The lennox Lewis Vitali Klitchko fight was good as well. Barrera Hamed and Cotto Margarito as well. And Pacquio Marquez I
Hehe, thanks for the kind words guys. Money, "Pacquiao Marquez I" isn't a moment it's a fight. See what I mean? I'm talking about the actual moments that make up the fights and the rounds
Okay so how about marquez getting knocked down three times in the first round and comming back to dominate most of the rounds after that. Getting a draw when many had him outright winning the fight?
great picks there man.:good i would have replaced pacquiao-morales 1 with the 10th round of the corrales-castillo 1 fight
Damn, I like Pav but that was just 100% domination from start to finish. I need to watch that fight again.
This thread gave me the urge to watch that "Boxing - The greatest sport in the world" video, but freaking youtube took it down. What a crock of ****.
