    Like Marciano's one-punch KO of Walcott.

    Robinson's KO of fullmer, single left hook.

    Dempsey's massacre of Willard (more specifiaclly the 1st round when willard was dropped 7 times).

    I have more but will be here for ages if i said them all...

    For me, personally, b, the SRR moment that springs to mind first is his ferocious comeback to stop Turpin. Agree, Dempsey's massacre of Willard is all I picture when Jack's name is mentioned, or maybe the Firpo slugfest.

    I think Robinson's 13th round beating of Lamotta would be the Robinson movement.

    I think the longcount gets more media press than anything today.

    Marco Antonio Barrera outclasses a 4-1 favorite in the unbeaten, P4P rated Prince Naseem Hamed at the MGM Grand Casino in Las Vegas. 7 April, 2001.

    If we're talking moment it would have to be the first Morales fight.

    If we're talking result then it would be Hamed.

    If you ask the average Boxing fan to name one moment they associate with Marco Antonio Barrera, they usually say when he rammed The Prince's head into the turnbuckle in the 12th round. I hear you though, the first Morales fight is the greatest fight of all time in my estimation, but I think people appreciate Marco for shutting up one of the biggest mouths in Boxing at the time.

    I know, that Louis will forever be remembered for his revenge-win against Schmeling... but when I think of the Brown Bomber, I can't get his demolition of Max Baer out of my head! While the Schmeling fight no doubt was his proudest (and most important!) moment, I don't think he ever looked better than against Baer. Kind of like Ali never looking better than against Williams.

    The who's-your-daddy moment Barrera ran the Prince into the turnbuckle was PRICELESS!

    In England I think you are probably right, but generally I would have thought he would be remembered for the Morales fight more. Same with Erik. He will be remembered more for the first Barrera fight than the Pacquiao bout, I would have thought :think

    Not to sure they are comparable. People like to remember the Hamed fight because fans took great pleasure in watching an obnoxious, loud mouthed, cocky Brit get his ass handed to him in front of a sell out crowd in Vegas.

    It's not a big deal. I prefer to remember Marco mostly for the first Morales encounter, I just have my doubts whether that's a universal thought.

    Fair play :thumbsup

    Duran will be remembered most for the 2 Leonard fights. Unfortunately, I think he's probably remembered more for the second bout.
