    That is a bit disrespectful, I was there and I can tell you 99% of the crowd were perfectly well behaved.

    The conduct pre fight by the then champion was 'less than virtuoso'...

    And yet that is the most thrilling one sided fight I have seen.

    One for the Brits:

    McMillan/Stecca...

    In terms of quality of opponent maybe not right out of the top drawer but Calzaghe vs Lacy was a virtuoso performance.

    Winky-Tito. Wright dismantled him in that fight, made Trinidad look like a novice.

    Duran-Palomino -- made a world-class fighter look like he didn't belong

    Benitez-Hope -- sheer brilliance punctuated by a bomb

    Bowe-Holyfield I -- textbook performance by a guy on his one-night-only physical and mental peak

    Arguello-Mancini -- I believe Mancini was a pretty damned good lightweight, but AA was in the zone

    Whitaker-Azumah -- Sweet Pea was never sweeter

    Young Toney taking Iran Barkley to school - to the old-school!

    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMLqQrGDQhw[/ame]

    Toney was considered to be the underdog against the bigger Barkley...

    Whitaker v Ramirez II, Mcgirt II, Haugen, Pineda.
    Sanchez v Lopez I & II, Gomez.
    Mayweather v Corrales, Gatti, Marquez, Mosely.

    There are many many more but those were all great performances of great technical boxing.
