The 5 best performances of .........

How bout Camacho, and Edwin Rosario?

 

Sure but there is always the lingering feeling that it was displayed against a tethered target that couldnt fight back.

The best display of greatnes is a performance against a live oponent that other all time greats could not have replicated.

I think that most all time greats could have looked unbeatable against that version of Williams but none could have controlled Terrel like Ali did.

 

Terrell was a much better fighter than many give him credit for. This along with the Liston I fight also blow the theory that Ali had trouble with jabbers out of the water. Very underrated win for Ali

If you are talking about Tyson's best performances you have to consider Razor Ruddock

 

Tyson's best performance was v Pinklon Thomas IMO.

And you can't have a Hagler top 5 without Sibson surely?

2. Alan Rudkin
3. Chuco Castillo III
4. Jesus Pimental

I am not a huge (or even little) Tyson fan, by any means! But my favorite fights of him are:

1 Tyson vs Ferguson (Tysons body attack is out of this world)
2 Tyson vs Zouski (Zouski is a journeyman! While this fight was never in doubt, Zouski made tyson work hard in a short period)
3 Tyson vs Thomas (His first opponent that I felt actually had a shot...but Tyson put that to rest)
4 Tyson vs Ruddock I (would easily be my favorite if it had not been stopped to soon IMHO)
5. Tyson vs Bruno I
