Terrifying performances

Roberto Duran would not be denied against Ken Buchannan and in his first Sugar Ray Leonard fight, although the performances might not be terryfing, they were certainly awe-inspiring imo

 

Ricardo Mayorga vs Vernon Forrest I
Ike Williams vs Beau Jack
Aaron Pryor vs Antonio Cervantes
Mike Tyson vs Michael Spinks
Felix Trinidad vs William Joppy

 

Azumah Nelson destroyed Pat Cowdell with one Left hook in the 1st after Cowdell had Taken Salvador Sanchez to a Split decision,

John Mugabi looked Devestating when Blastion out fellow Lt Middle KO King Earl the Pearl Hargrove.

 

Pryor-Arguello 1 should make this list. Pryor ate some bombs and just kept coming non stop. That HAD to be terrifying to Alexis.

 

Agreed.

 

I was thinking Trinidad-Joppy as well. I am not a huge Floyd fan but his demolition of Gatti had me in awe. Dont know if people will agree on me with this, but Cotto's destructions of Quintana was pretty damn impressive.

 

rjjr v toney

 

Yes! The Duran performance is amazing, but for sheer artistry the Cuevas domination is unbeatable!

 

Michael Nunn blasting the seasoned, and very tough, Sumbu Kalambay with one clean punch in the first round.

 

Duran was indeed good against Buchanan. But it wasn't Duran at his best as a lightweight when it came to refined skills. His workrate, ability to close the distance, and sheer determination were the main factors on his showing that night. However, he lacked refinement all round. His technique and patience got better as his lightweight reign came to a close against De Jesus in their 3rd meeting. That was probably his peak performance. Economical.

 

:good :good
