    What is the single greatest win in boxing history?

    Imo its Ali beating foreman. He was faded and supposed to be ko'd by prime atg puncher in foreman.

    Other candidates i think are:

    Duran beating Leonard

    Louis over schmeling

    Clay over liston

    Leonard over hearns

    What do you think??

            Louis over Schmeling probably had the biggest impact socially based on the factors that were going on at the time because of WWII

                as far as my knowledge on boxing goes, this is also my pick

                leonard is an absolute beast, and to go up in weight and wreck him like duran did, it's just an awesome win

                  Never thought about this, but instantly as I saw the thread title I thought Duran over Leonard.

                    Not to mention you have to take skill sets into consideration. To beat a bigger slickster is 10x harder than a smaller slickster beating a bigger brawler/puncher.

                    I know Duran was slick in his own right, but he wasn't really a cutie like Sugar Ray or Ali.
