    floyd vs tree. floyd could pull the trigger when he wants. when he presses the action, he is such a more exciting fighter. usually in the past, hes real laid back. it was good to see a different side from him

    Carl Froch against Kessler. He was a lot better overall than I thought he was even in losing.

    the way froch carried himself after the ward fight made me a fan. before that i thought he was an arrogant ******* with a hot girlfriend and nothing more.

    i want to say ortiz changed the way people viewed him after berto. then you had him trying to find a way out in mayweather and quitting against lopez.

    Manny vs Clottey. When a guy throws 20 punches and lands all of them while shitting himself while the other can only throw the same punch combination he's been throwing for years all the while getting compubox to count blocked punches and everyone claiming this guys skill has grown is what did it for me that Manny is in fact a hypejob. Its funny how Manny is back to ordinary throwing only 600 punches a fight now and getting tired in later rounds where he has to spit out his mouth piece all the while as his eye socket breaking power is now magically gone as well, but yeah, thats our fighter of the decade, a ****ing drug cheat who's greatest sucess is because of the hate of another man who walks the walk and talks the talk withdrug tests. Had to vent because I hate pacturds.

    Nice thread.

    After the Oscar/Tito fight i believed Oscar was a good boxer when he had to be instead of the puncher he tried to be.
    I believed Calzaghe to be a great fighter rather than a protected fighter after the Hopkins bout
    After the Johnson bout I found Dawson to be overrated, at a time when he was supposed to be the next light heavyweight Whitaker.
    Froch is a HOF'er after the Abraham bout
    Mosley could tangle with any lightweight ever after the Molina KO

    Khan vs Petersen, Khan didnt impress in the ring or in his antics, never liked him since

    Haye impressed me by fighting more in the pocket vs Chisora, not gonna turn me into a fan of his but it was nice to see

    Bute vs Andrade 2, that was a big moment for Bute's career, started to really believe, kind of makes me wodner where he is gonna go

    Pavlik vs Miranda drastically changed my view on both
