    Sonny Liston - Knocked out the reigning HW champ in one round and took him out again in one round in the immediate rematch. Don't think this feat has been repeated and doubt it ever will be.

    David Tua - Setting the most punches thrown in a HW bout with Ike Ibeabuchi. I believe this record has now been broken but super impressive at the time.

    Lennox Lewis - TKO6. Taking a young Vitali Klitschko on short notice was badass but going on to "stop" him was valiant too.

    Marvin Hagler - I guess this is more than a moment but his road to a title shot impressed me so much. And to win it from a racist POS by KO as the away fighter was sweet.

    Mike Tyson - Being the youngest HW champ of all time. Don't know if this record can ever be beaten but I'll get my sons into boxing early enough to give it a crack heh.

    Oleksandr Usyk becoming undisputed cruiserweight champ, unified heavyweight champ, and a legend, in 19 fights by traveling to his opponent's backyards.

    George Foreman becoming the legit, lineal heavyweight champ in BOTH of boxing's golden ages.

    Julio Cesar Chavez winning 90 fight. Even if you cut it off at 87 with the Whitaker "draw," it is still unheard of in the modern era.

    James Toney's out-of-nowhere gutty knockout of highly-regarded Michael Nunn. If he never did a thing after that, I'd of loved the guy.

    Tito getting the win over De La Hoya.

    Duran over Leonard--beating the bigger, younger, faster, Olympic gold medalist and media darling.

    Maricano retiring undefeated after beating all #1 contenders and one #2.

    Just a few that come to mind.

    Usyk cleaning out a very strong CW Level division full of savage punchers in his opponent's backyards like a prime Clint circa '64-'66 and then moseying on down to HW Level and hostile territory to annex three of the belts from AJ's in his backyard in front of 66,000 extremely vociferous and partisan drunk hooligan AJ fans

    Loma going from P4P#1 amateur to P4P#1 pro in just 12 fights, becoming the joint quickest one-weight champion, the quickest two-weight world champion, and the quickest three-weight world champion and registering four no mas wins in a row all against world champions or world class top contenders (a feat which had never been accomplished before or ever will be again), none of whom had any history of quitting or displaying an ounce of quit in them in any of their fights prior to or since then, through nothing but sheer technical brilliance, wizardry and genius


    Peter Fury coming from nothing to run Manchester

    Charley Burley going all the way up to heavyweight, really heavyweight too, in order to make a match that he thought might get him some attention. Dude just had no fear at all. He was fearless.

    Sam Langford knocking out the great Harry Wills in the nineteenth round of a twenty-round fight to snatch a victory from the jaws of defeat.

    Holman Williams finally getting his shot against top white Middles in the twilight of his career and holding Jake Lamotta and Marcel Cerdan to split, controversial decisions despite carrying multiple injuries and having bum hands.

    Juan Manuel Marquez KTFO 6.

    Roman Gonzalez butchering Niida out in Japan, will never, ever forget that day.

    Joe Frazier. "I knew they couldn't take it away from me then."

    Manny Pacquiao - boxing's only eight-division champion, won titles ten divisions apart, from flyweight to light middleweight

    Lennox Lewis - beat every man he ever faced, still the most recent undisputed world heavyweight champion 19 years after his retirement

    • Chris John
    Third world champion from Indonesia and probably the best Indonesian boxer in the history. The first man in the country to become national champion in both sports of Boxing and Wushu. Unbeaten in his almost 15 long years of career. Undefeated in world title bout in 18 defenses for a decade. Become Ring Magazine featherweight rank #1 for more than 5 years. Currently sit as vice president of Indonesian national sport comittee. And he is one of few people who beat Juan Manuel Marquez

    • Vasily Lomachenko
    Two times Olympic gold medalist and winner of Val Barker trophy. Widely regarded by many to be the best amateur boxer in history with record 396-1. Won his world title in his third fight. Won his second in his seventh fight. Won his third in his twelfth. Made four his opponent quit (and even losing the will) the fight in a row when he fought in his second weight class. Was a unified champion of three belts in his third weight class. Has been feared by many of his peers and made it difficult for him to find opponent. Once rated as top P4P. And he is Mike Tyson's favorite boxer.

    • Muhammad Ali
    The greatest of all time. The only legendary boxer to be given the honor to light the Olympic flame. Probably most important figure in boxing history who have inspired millions of people in the world. His funeral is televised to all over the world.
