My top 5 moments in boxing in this decade

got a link to that mate, it sounds hilarious ?

 

My top 5.


1. Morales vs Barrera 1 Round 5

The greatest round of the greatest fight of all time. Two greatest Mexican fightrs of their generation at their peaks, toe to toe. Nothing better.

2. Corrales comes back to stop Castillo

Unbelievable!



3. Barrera Rams Hamed's head into the turnbuckle

After a thorough whooping of Hamed, despite being a heavy underdog, the best Featherweight in the world expresses his superiority.

4. Past Prime Morales switches southpaw against Pacquiao

So called Mexicutioner runs into a great Mexican fighter at the end of his career, and is outboxed. Then, in round 12, Morales switches southpaw taking Pacquaio's best shots and still standing to victory. Amazing.

5. Freddie Roach pulls Penalosa out

4.19 in. What a warror, heartfelt.

Superb thread and some great picks

Lennox beating his chest after flattening Rahman a round earlier than he'd been KO'd. The big chess player shows a whole lot of emotion

Carl Froch hands down Jason Vorhees style stalking Jermaine Taylor, esp 1.46. This makes it because I was there

Want to use my favourite fight from the decade and can't use the finish as it is almost too brutal but here is the best round

#1 Watching Alfonso Gomez as he further cements his legacy as the greatest of all time
#2 Watching Hatton get his ass knocked out
#3 Watching Hatton get his ass knocked out again
#4 Watching Amir Khan getting his ass knocked out
#5 Watching British fighters get their asses knocked out

 

Looking back at it....this decade definetly had it's moments

 

I have to agree, that was just cold blooded

 

1. Bernard Hopkins ko`s Tito Trinidad in the 12th round with one of the greatest right hand counters ever.
2. Marco Antonio Barrera slams Nassem Hamed in the corner and says to his ear "¿who`s your daddy?"
3. Oscar de la Hoya drops Ricardo Mayorga with a left hook in the first round. Mayorga´s face was priceless. NO ONE expected that.
4. Shane Mosley HURTS Antonio Margarito in the 8th round.
5. Bernard Hopkins makes Antonio Tarver miss badly and then just walks away, saluting the crowd.

 

Lampley - "...and they rise again", that made me cry when I first saw it. 30 rounds of boxing from two warriors prepared to die; that makes lots of today's boxers look like ****ing pussies.

 

what's wrong with boxer's trying to look out for their health first?

 

I can kind of concur to a certain extent, but with fighters like Gatti the rulebook goes out of the window. You could have hit Gatti with a spade and he'd have still got up. See also Diego Corrales.
