    Is it definitive for you? What do you base the opinion on? The quality of opponent, some particular context or the look of the performance itself?

    The '60 rematch KO over Ingo to regain the crown........ NO DOUBT!

    MR.BILL

    Runner up: '56 KO over ancient Archie Moore.......

    3rd fight with Ingo. Showed tremendous heart to come through the same hassle he suffered in the first fight, and horrific left hook to end it (or is the 3rd fight the one where Ingo kinda gets up but gets stopped? Either way, I think Floyd comes through the 1st round well)

    I like the fight / win too, but is it really fair when a 21 year old KO's a 40 year old man when both are close to size and weight?

    Seldom does experience overcome youth, speed and reflex........ Though it does happen---every blue moon or so........

    You downplay Moore because of his age, yet talk up a 1990s George Foreman all the time. :roll:

    Due to Foreman's size and strength, I feel Foreman was better off at age 40 than Ol' Moore was....... Foreman was slow, yet he still had advantages that Moore did not have post of 1955........
