Performances that don't get their due because they were too dominant?

Sometimes a fighter is so surprisingly dominant over his opponent that the performance is more or less disregarded. Pac vs DLH is probably the prime example of this imo, but RJJ vs Toney springs to mind as well.

Any other examples?

 

Prime Foreman's whole legacy is more or less built on Frazier and Norton, so I think he gets his due for them.

Is it Lewis or Bruno you don't think gets his due, and what was so surprising with that fight?

Tyson probably don't get quite what he should for Holmes, no, seeing that Larry would show that he still had a fair bit left.

I think Vitaly's performance against Peter was quite awesome all things considered, and perhaps he doesn't get enough recognition for that. Haven't seen it discussed much personally.

Hearns vs Duran is a good shout. It's really hard to take in that he could crush Roberto like that.

 

Perhaps. Was it that surprising, though? Wasn't the odds quite firmly in Floyd's favour?

But Floyd doesn't get much credit for many of his wins. Just rewatched DLH-Mayorga, and I don't think DLH ever looked better. A much smaller Floyd would beat him in his next fight and don't get much credit for that win either.

 

Was he drained, though? I heard that he rather cut weight and was pretty close to the limit in the ring, but maybe I remember wrong.

And was the Valero thing talked before the fight or only after? Because Oscar was the favourite going in.

If the favourite being manhandled is disregarded we have a severe case of hindsight after tye fact. That's for sure. And I'm always very sceptical of such cases.
