So these don't have to be nessecarily championship fights or even long fights.
For me it's Hearns' victory over Shuler
Amazing fast jabs, multiple left hooks to the body and probably one of the best right hands ever thrown.
So what's the best performance by your favourite fighter(s)?
1- Mayweather vs Carlos Baldomir. A 12 round clinic and meticulous dissection of the then ring champion, Baldomir.
2- Mayweather vs Oscar de la Hoya - the world awaits. The world got what he waited for - yet another masterful display of skill
3- Roy Jones Jr. vs Toney - the making of an ATG. Two prime fighters face each other on the top of their career, a rare occasion in boxing.
4- Mayweather vs Ricky Hatton - Again the rare occasion. No one could beat prime Mayweather, could not be done.
i pretty much loved all of JMM's fights....
his KO of Casa, who was never stopped... his adjustments and precision against Diaz, the way he outboxed this shit out of Pacquiao (just couldnt quite handle the power), they way he battled back to end Jaca after being cut so bad, etc etc etc
Oh man. I can't give one fight and I cant give one fighter, but here's the fights that made me love boxing.
Frazier vs. Ali 1 and 2. Sure he lost the second one, but man...Joe was amazing. Smoking Joe is the man I compare ever other fighter to.
Gatti-Ward 1, 2, and 3. There was nothing not to love about Arturo in these fights.
Duran vs. Leaonard 1. Duran is a boxing legend in general and a personal hero to me. A great man in and out of the ring. This fight showed something about him, and it's always stuck with me. Amazing fight. Showed Duran at his finest.
Mayweather vs Corrales.
Pernell Whitaker vs JCC.
Joan Guzman vs Barrios.
Bernard Hopkins (Too many to name) vs Tito, Echols II, Mercado II (What a beatdown) Johnson and Pavlik.
Mosley, Cotto, Margarito... Many seem to have an active fighter as favourite boxer :o
Btw to clear things up: I'm talking about BEST performance, that doesn't nessecarly have to be the greatest fight or greatest achievement...
