    Although it's hard to define a best performance as something better due to domination because of the lack of opposition making it seem so much better. In reality, they're both quite the same. I'll still play the game though.

    Joe Frazier - Performance Jimmy Ellis, Win Ali

    Jack Dempsey - Performance Williard, Win Firpo

    Joe Louis - Performance Schemling II, Win Walcott II

    Jersey Joe Walcott - Performance Louis I/Marciano I, Win Charles III

    Marciano - Performance Walcott II, Win Walcott

    Floyd Patterson - Performance Moore/Ingo II, Win Ingo II/III

    Liston - Performance Floyd I/II, Win Floyd I/II

    Foreman - Performance Frazier I, Win Frazier/Moore

    Muhammad Ali - Performance Williams/Terrel, Win Foreman

    Larry Holmes - Performance Cooney/Spinks, Win Norton

    Mike Tyson - Performance Spinks/Holmes, Win Spinks/Ruddock

    Holyfield - Performance Bowe II, Win Tyson

    Lewis - Performance Tua, Win Holyfield II

    Wlad K - Performance Chageav, Win Byrd/Sultan Ibragimov

    --------------------

    As you can see, there were a few instances in which I speculated what a fighter's best performance might be based on reports and the result; however, I also noted what performance I've actually seen from them was the best as well.

    Sure Rocky ko Walcott in 1 round in the rematch, but as far as a performance, I would not rank that any were near HIS top imo.

    I think his best showings are either Walcott 1, were Rocky show his intanglements that he didnt show before, or Charles I, were Rocky once again rose to greatness to over come a foe that would not be beaten easy imo.
