    This is to compliment another recent thread someone started. Soon Webster's will have no choice but to add the word "pwnage" to their dictionary. Next to the entry, which fight will be listed as an example?

    I thought of putting Floyd/Gatti on there. All that talk Floyd did before the fight "I'm gonna dom-in-ate, DOMINATE this club fighter!" and then the back up made for some good pwnage. I didn't want to include more than one fight from a fighter though, and I think Hatton's pwnage was worse b/c 1) Hatton was a much better fighter than Gatti and 2) That head butt into the corner was very embarassing and embarassing = pwnage to a high degree.

    Perhaps I should have allowed two fights from one guy though, b/c you're right that Gatti was OWNAGE with a capital "P" :good

    This is a good choice for the associated social happenings. For example Tarver talking lots of trash beforehand and then after the fight wanting to blame the weight loss but not being able to else be a hypocrite. I don't think this one is as good as the other examples, though, mostly b/c Tarver didn't take a bad enough beat down. Bhop basically just carefully picked his punches all night and made Tarver look impotent. You could say the same about the Winky/Tito fight, but I think Tito looked even more impotent PLUS he didn't have the semi-legitimate excuse Tarver had (though he refused to make it)

    I just don't get the obssession with Calzaghe-lacy. Yeah it was a good win and one sided but Lacy was nothing more than a overhyped puncher who hadn't proved much. He wasn't on anyone's P4P list and a fighter as good as Calzaghe should have beaten him easily. Calzaghe's win over Lacy is becoming very overrated especially how Lacy's career has been going, I could think of 15 fights that have more ownage. Every fight in this poll is bigger ownage than that one. Maybe its a British thing.

    Maybe it's just fresh on my mind, but I took PBF - Hatton. How many KO's are so perfectly set up that the KO'd run face first into the turnbuckle on the way down?

    That was just nasty.

    I will say Tszyu vs. Judah obviously.

    Judah got NINE pages in Sports Illustrated before that fight. That is pretty much unmatched since SI doesn't even cover boxing.

    Judah trash talked like a punk he is. No one gave Tszyu a chance who actually knew Tszyu.
    THEN WE ALL KNEW THE BIGGEST PWNAGE in history of PWNAGES happened.

    Bottom line,
