    Barrera - Hamed immediately came to mind for me too.

    But may I post a small clip which, while not boxing, fits into the theme of this thread:

    For me this is tied with Broner-Maidana.

    Bruno beating McCall.
    McCall was a nasty piece of work in the build up.
    Glad he lost.

    Although Maidana-Broner and Hembrick -Word are my favorites, this wasn't too bad either

    Nate Campbell v Robbie Peden I

    Nothing will ever surpass Hamed getting trounced by MAB although Maidaina kicking Broners arse came close.

    I enjoyed watching Usyk beat Fury the first fight. Fury was an absolute tit in the build up and his imbecile father was even worse. A “middleweight” giving the fighting man his first L and nearly knocking him the **** out was really satisfying for me.

    Might not really qualify as a cocky fighter but I found Tony Ayala-Yory boy Campas very satisfying.

    I was getting a little tired of hearing how Ayala should´ve been champion, so good that he might have beaten Hagler even!

    The small part where he brutally raped a school teacher seemed to have been forgotten.

    He showed his true colours by attempting to do the same again (a year after release)but this time got shot by prey.

    Really enjoyed Campas making Ayala quit.
