Virtuoso Performances

Your a lucky man.

Its nothing short of sheer carelessness that this fight was not recorded, I mean, Saddler KO`d Pep the 1st time, it was surely big big news at the time... & these idiots couldnt find the time to record the fkn rematch :-(

 

Muhammad Ali v Cleveland Williams might be thee most flawless performance Ive seen from any ATG fighter, simply stunning.

 

Some of my favourite virtuoso performances in the boxer & boxer-puncher moulds (which haven't been mentioned yet) include the following:

Buddy McGirt vs. Simon Brown
Ernesto Marcel vs. Antonio Gomez I
Harold Brazier vs. Micky Ward
Hilario Zapata vs. German Torres
Harold Johnson vs. Doug Jones
Kid Gavilan vs. Chuck Davey
Kid Gavilan vs. Johnny Bratton III
Lionel Rose vs. Fighting Harada
Marvin Hagler vs. Mustafa Hamsho I
Marvin Hagler vs. Tony Sibson
Meldrick Taylor vs. Buddy McGirt
Joey Giardello vs. Dick Tiger III
Miguel Canto vs. Betulio Gonzalez II
Alfonso Lopez vs. Shoji Oguma
Howard Winstone vs. Baby Luis

 

All the modern day hatred for Calzaghe be damned...it's all hindsight revisionism..Calzaghe-Lacy was extremely impressive and a virtuoso performance if there ever was one.

 

how could i forget Sanchez vs. Gomez!

 

I agree, how was Lacy not going to totally destroy Calzaghe, in no doubt, a Virtuoso Performance??? Lacy was the new American superstar, who would reign for as long as he wanted...

At the time, being so confident, I changed my entire share portfolio to include just Lehman Brothers; I know a winner when I see one!:yep

 

That is as beautiful it can get when someone gets the **** beaten out of him. To think that Toney was really fast once. And Barkley was an absolute giant for a MW. Everytime I see him I'm astonished anew at how big he was.

 

I'd pay hundreds, without hesitation, to see Pep's triumph over Saddler. I've heard it is literally a career defining win for a great fighter and a favorite of mine, and I hate that its nowhere to be found.

 

Some more:

Eusebio Pedroza vs Patrick Ford
Donald Currty vs Colin Jones
Marlon Starling vs Lloyd Honeyghan
RJJ vs James Toney, John Ruiz
Ray Leonard vs Pete Ranzany and Andy Price
Manny Pacquiao vs Hatton

 

Great call on Pedroza-Ford.
