Which TWO FIGHTS show the TWO SIDES of your TOP FIGHTERS?

Lennox Lewis:

David Tua - This fight showcased him at his best boxing off the backfoot, his excellent jab, range control and great mobility for a guy of such size. Picked the aggressive but smaller Tua off comfortable at range the entire fight.

Andrew Golota - Showcased him in his more aggressive form, usually against the bigger guys who he feels he can get out early rather than let them grow as a threat as the fight goes on. Golota was one of them. Lewis immediately coming forward on the front-foot jabbing establishing himself as the aggressor and putting his combinations together in 3's and 4's doing a one-round demolition job.

 

well here i go, i dont care if anybody posted this before me

Floyd Mayweather Jr.

TKO10 Diego Corrales- probably (imo) Mayweather's most underrated win, this defeat was over a young, undefeated, and one of the hardest and relentless punchers in the 130 lb weight class at the time. Mayweather showed his ability to hit first, as he got to Chico EVERY time he began to throw the right hand, Mayweather's left hook really played a major role in this fight, and this fight displayed Mayweather's speed, agressiveness, and finishing ability and whenever people begin to say he fought nobodies this fight always comes to my mind, especially since the man he defeated went on to have the fight of the century.

UD12 Zab Judah- this fight was one of Mayweather's first at WW, against a VERY fast-handed southpaw fighter, who was on P4P lists at the time (despite coming off of a loss to Not-so-great Carlos Baldomir). Floyd began the fight a little shaky, with Judah almost knocking Mayweather down in the 2nd round, but Mayweather showed his ability to adapt and by the 5th round, he was picking off Zab's shots and making him miss his wonderful combinations (except of course Judah's left uppercut to the groin and right hook to the back of the head ). Rather or not the result of this fight was because of Mayweather's counter-punching and utter dominance or because Zab's tendency to shut down after 4 rounds, the fact remains, Mayweather outclassed top-level opposition and made his entry into everyone's P4P lists.

 

The Judah fight is one of the best if not the best display of combination punching from Floyd. After Roger said "He don't wanna fight!", Mayweather pressed the action more and dug in some killer bodypunches backing Judah up. He then proceded to throw just about everything but the kitchen sink until it looked like Zab may have gotten stopped but then the lowblow+rabbitpunch came. I don't really remember the last two rounds but that's all I can remember of that fight.

 

yea, the combination punching and kinda aggressiveness came in the mid-late rounds up to the lowblow i believe

 

Yeah it started in like the 4th or 5th I think.

 

yea i was thinking of the Mosley fight instead of the Judah fight, but i thought that the Judah fight showed the definsive-minded, pot-shotting, Mayweather, while being able to keep himself composed under pressure

 

DURAN the GREAT jumping down Leoanrds throat in Montreal.

DURAN the GREAT giving the mighty Hagler & his corner fits by adopting a superb countering stratergy that totally confused & befuddled the Marvelous one.

 

Floyd is weird, you could get 3 different fights to showcase his skills
Marquez- potshotting and box you to death
then the two that you mentioned
A good fight to watch of Floyds tht shows two sides of him is the Carlos Hernandez fight. He showed good inside fighting in that fight and was very aggressive and then he started having hand problems in the fight and started boxing from the outside

 

The Hatton fight is the best example of Floyd's versatility.

All the media was full of the ''Hatton is a brilliant inside fighter and body puncher. If Hatton gets inside Floyd won't have a chance'' stuff.

As the fight went on, you could say the outside fighting was more closely contested than up close, where Mayweather effectively beat Hatton up before the stoppage.

To me it's that fact that ruined Hatton. He might have been able to live with being outboxed from the outside, but to be whipped at his own game - outbrawled, outwrestled, outdirtied..... really ****ed him up.

 

Hasim Rahman in his Prime - Knocking out Lennox Lewis & beating the hell outta Meehan by TKO.

Hasbeen Rahman - as soon as he grew that GIANT buldge on his head called Evander HolyHEADBUTT, or doing the utmost quit job in heavyweight history against James Toney.
