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

Im going to deliberately be different and say James "Buster" Douglas KO'ing Mike Tyson

 

You have a good point there :rofl.

I read that they were at an army fight and asked to sit at the bank near the food stalls because they were black.

Imagine asking Joe Louis and Sugar Ray Robinson to sit in the back of a boxing match!?

You see old footage of them demeaning the hell out of him, asking him if the gorilla can speak and ****.

Sometimes Louis looked to have 0% interest and esteem for white people in those days and who could blame him. :-(

 

I'm 32...It has to be Douglas/Tyson. Shocking.

 

So right mate:good How could i forget:scaredas: I think my natural bias against Ali had filed this fight away in the file & forget memory banks, absolutly unbelievable that he should beat Foreman never mind knocking him out:scaredas: there was a good chance that he could end up dead according to some the press back then.

 

Many good mentions. I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Leonard's victories over Benitez and Hagler, and that so few has mentioned Hearns' over Duran.

To narrow it down, I'm just going to pick among the ones I've seen live (on TV) and the winner there is Jones against Toney. Toney was regarded as a great fighter, but was just outclassed. I just sat there thinking to myself "what the ****?". It just didn't seem possible that such a good fighter could be handled so easily.

 

Definitly you really got me into that fight. Just brilliaant domination from round 10 onwards.

McGrain have you seen Harada vs Kingpetch 1? and whats your thoughts of Kingpetch in general?

 

I've heard a lot say that about Kingpetch. Watching HL's of the Perez fights (ain't seen the Harada scraps yet, weird as I hold Masahiko in such high regard) he seems an awkward operator and definitely a decent flyweight; Regardless of how many fights Perez had, he still looked 'live' and Kingpetch seemed to get the better of what I was watching, which is as much of a plus as you can get from me, seeing as I have a man crush on Perez

 

If I remember correctly Ray was ready to swing bombs until The Brown Bomber sorted the situation outThe worst two people you could be racist too IMO

 

What do you think of Harada's performance. I have him winning every round with the last 2 round sbeing 10-8 against a top ten Flyweight. Harada being very young aswell its simply amazing. The rematch is a great fight although i thought Harada deserved it.

I thought he was class against Perez just dominated him in the rematch and in the first fight his jab really controlled it. You need to see the Harada vs Kingpetch 1

 

Holyfield /Tyson 1

 

Holmes vs. Norton...the last 3 rounds of that fight are amazing. But that 15th round was a thing of beauty...starts of w/ jabs and Norton seems to be doing really well then at 1:44 of the clip attached it just turns into a dogfight....great stuff...dont get this in the HW division anymore.

Especially coz Holmes was injured.

 

Well.
A lot of good fights comes to my mind but if I could take it down to two fight´s that really impressed me and probably shaped me as a boxer and now a trainer it would be leonard - Hagler or Ali- Williams.
I have to pick one. Ok.
Muhammad Ali - Cleveland Williams
