    Pac TKO11 Barrera could be considered top3 just based off the absolute dominance of that win against a peak ATG fighter and the fact that Pac moved up in weight.

    But I gotta agree with #1 for sure, its pretty clear cut

    Mosely vs ODLH 1 could also be top3. Jumped up 2 weight divisions and beat Oscar in his prime

    Yes, I do like Leonard & Duran.... especially those 3 performances & what it took out of the fighters to actually pull these wins off, amazing.

    How the hell is Pacquiao over Barrera one of the greatest victories?

    Why not? Pac was an unknown Asian fighter while a belt holder at 122 lbs. He moved up to fight the top fighter at 126 on short notice and executed a dominating win.

    Hopkins vs trinidad (B Hop was a huge underdog in this fight)
    Jones vs toney ( toney was P4P) I have never seen a P4P dominated liek that.
    Hamed BArrera (Hamed looking invincible at Feather) no one expected a counter punching Barrera to turn up

    So many other great wins but they r mine from the past 15 years
