    To keep the separation from most exciting to best performance here's a sleeper ...

    It's pretty much known that Terry Norris was a terrific and dangerous champion who could have been an all time great if he had a top of the line chin but he didn't ... in 12-93 Norris lost his title in a huge upset to Simon Brown who exposed this chink in Terry's game ... Terry came back six months later with a perfect battle plan and diced Brown up to regain his title ... it was an amazing performance ..

    Mayweather v Pac or Mayweather v Canelo
    He made both fighters look like amateurs. These are two of the best fighters of the last 25 years…and he clowned them. Just absurd boxing performance. I know many won’t agree and many despise Mayweather but he was great at his craft.
