    whitaker vs. chavez, camacho vs. ramirez. clay vs. liston, ali vs foreman. The way Ali handled foreman was incredible, any other heavyweight gets destroyed.

    Really? Despite the publicity campaign that suggests otherwise, that was a close fight. I thought both guys were sub par that night. Maybe because I paid thousands to fly down there and catch that shitfest live.

    Yeh i have to agree, even after the first PAc fight after being asked why he switched southpaw, he jsut responded "did u enjoy it?" with a smile.:good

    Thats why every boxing fan should be his fan

    Don't know about the most mind blowing but I really enjoyed Sean O'Grady's performance in the Hilmer Kenty fight. He came in as underdog and worked Kenty over gooddstyle. Beatiful exhibition of body punching!

    You say it was his own fault & was poorly managed by Bob Arum! Did he turn down a re-match with Pacquiao then??? also tell me how he would have to have gone about getting a shot at MAB & Eric!

    By not losing to Norwood. He didn't have the style to attract HBO early on really it would seem, whereas both Barrera and Morales did. His team made bad management decisions through his career.

    I would say Hearns-Duran until the Hagler Hearns fight. Since then nothing fazes me

    Erik Morales overpower, outboxing and schooled Pacman all day long in the first fight of his trilogy

    The unprecedented way that Hearns had disposed of the iron-chinned Duran was possitively chilling.... Hearns was downright scary that evening... Although, upon deeper anaylsis, this was an ill-prepared Roberto as opposed to the well-trained one that fought a very smart and scrappy fight against Hagler... Still though, it influenced what a lot of the boxing pundits were predicting for the Hagler-Hearns superfight... Duran had said that it would be a man against a boy when he took on Hearns.... The Hit Man had morphed into the Motor City Cobra and seemed to lose some of his earlier zip after the Leonard loss in 81'... He was winning a lot of decisions instead of his scoring the spectacular knockouts of pre-Leonard.... The Duran anihilation was head-turning and positively shocking to those who witnessed it.... The Hagler-Hearns fight was billed as a battle between two ultimate-destroyers and it more than lived up to its billing.

    my brother who is a casual fan still cannot get over the Tua Ruiz fight he saw on youtube. In his mind Tua is one of the hw greats.

    Mattheew Saad Muhammed taking INSANE punishment during the first half of the second Yaqui Lopez fight before roaring back to score the 14th round stoppage.

    I'll never forget when Mercer ICED Morrison.. I thought Morrison had this one in the bag from start to finish.
