What's the single most mindblowing performance you've ever witnessed.

Trying to think back - if we're talking 'mindblowing' I was going to say Michael Bentt stopping Tommy Morrison in one blew me away aswell as Tommy - then there was mindblowing in the sense of someone producing an almost immaculate performance such as Lennox Lewis against Rahman to take back his title - and everytime I go back and watch George Foreman versus Muhammad Ali that is always mindblowing :nut

 

After bein' dropped four times, Archie Moore's stoppage of Yvonne Durrell.

 

Great shout :good I have a DVD i burnt of all my favourite ever fights and that is on there - how Arch even got up from that 3rd knockdown in the first round is beyond me???? That was truly a nutnutmindblowing punch!! Moore was pure genius

 

Witnessed live..? i don't think so...

 

One of the last fights I really watched was Pazienza-Sims. Vinny manhandled him physically, legs looked great, and the speed was still there after his car accident. I also watched him get decked for the first time in his career by Duran, and negotiate the rematch with El Cholo, but saw nothing which prepared me for what I saw happen to him next. Pazienza still looked very, very good.

RJJ-Pazienza may have been the final major match I watched live. Paz (who I didn't care for all that much) was punching for the body, and yet despite all Vinny's speed, Roy goes through a complete round without getting hit once, a first in CompuBox history. Years later, I figured he'd beat Ruiz, because how do you beat somebody you can't hit at all? At his best, Roy was a freak. Too bad when he did get hit, he didn't have the chin to take it.

 

Ali/Frazier III.

It is the most vicious heavyweight fight I've ever seen. Each fighter paid a terrible price. Both were great , great fighters...amazing performance by each one.

 

The one performance that will always stay with me was in MSG in 1945,when I saw the absolute prime Welterweight Ray Robinson fight a
tough Californian body puncher named Jimmy McDaniels..I and my dad had perfect saeats sitting 2 rows above the ring..McDaniels who I saw a short time before ko a young sensation Aaron Perry, opened up on Robinson's lean midsection, while Ray tied him up, and it appeared to us that the
rugged looking McDaniels would wear Ray down soon. Well the second
round bell sounded and Ray tied up Jimmy, looked up in our direction and
seemed so bored..The ref broke them from their clinch, and Robinson
EXPLODED, hooks, crosses, uppercuts , each at the point of McDaniels
chin, at a blurring speed, knocking tough the tough McDaniels COLD..
The crowd was stunned by the speed, power and accuracy of this
Display of the Welterweight Robinson...To this day, I am in awe of
the PRIME Sugar Ray....Greatest fighter I rever saw ,barring NONE...

 

Robinson - basillio 1

 

Hagler-Hearns. I didn't really understand boxing too much till I watched that ****. Short, very short but explosive, furious, angry stuff. Set my heart on fire. It's not the best fight I've ever seen, but it was my first taste of an ATG amazing boxing fight, incredible stuff. It was like watching Dragon Ball Z in real life to melol: i know). I hated sports for real until I saw that ****. Awesome.

 

ali v williams. outstanding

 

sorry, think i misunderstood the post. Have to go for tyson-spinks. Two undefeated heavyweight champs, the build-up was unreal for months and the way Tyson dispatched him was truly memorable

 

No doubt for me. Hearns blow out of Duran sticks out for me. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, I was gutted.

 

Out of many potential choices,I'd still say Muhammad Ali beating George Foreman. Not just beating him,but the way that he accomplished it. Doing exactly what he SHOULD N'T have done.

 

It must have been awesome seeing Robinson in his pomp. How do you rate Tommy Bell in the all time welterweight list ?

 

I was totally shocked by this one. Like a lot of people,I thought that Hearns would win it,but not the way that he did.
