I been watching boxing since probably the early 90s and this has to be up there in the top 3 moments I saw live. It’s not just that he got up, it’s the way he came back as well. Was so inspiring to watch, I not cheered a fighter on like that for years. Great moment and I have to admit I never thought it would come from fury.
Miniq, have you seen me write that somewhere years ago lol...I totally agree with you and have said it too..Really shallow and cheap when you know the score that pic
The greatest moment is seeing an old washed up GGG outbox Canelo on the backfoot in their second fight despite being known as the aggressor. Pffff.....
He done it loads as an amateur too mate, much more, fleet footed countering then stand and let the finishers go. He lost a bit of that as a pro, them hammers and his other side of his game, teak tough, great cutting off skills, punch selection come to the surface more in the pro's. Looking back he could cover everything, just didn't need too. Calzaghe and GGG imo were unbeatable prime, other greats might push them close to the wire, but for me these two are the special fighters of my time
Dude just in my lifetime I've seen way more badass moments. Just to keep it in perspective. Margarito jogging over from one corner to the other and Cotto bends the knee and quits. Mayorga just letting Trinidad get free shots on his chin and then not going down. Erik Morales turning southpaw on Pacquiao in the last round. And getting rocked twice and still staying up. Vernon Forrest coming out of absolute nowhere and having Shane Mosley wobbling all over the ring in round 3. Andre Ward getting dropped by ridiculously hard punching Kovalev and then recovering to finish the fight. When everybody in the world thought he was done for. Just to name a few.
It was the lineal world HW champion versus the WBC HW champion boxing in front of millions. That was one of the most dramatic moments in the sport's history.
Sanchez knocking down Gomez after getting caught with a right that would have knocked anyone else down/out.
