Greatest win of every decade. 1960-2017

2000s had a ton of great wins. I think Hopkins knocking out Trinidad is a greater victory than Milk dud over Jones. Putting it into context, in hindsight we now know that after that first fight with Tarver, Jones' career was the beggining of his downhill ride. In contrast, Trinidad was top 3 p4p on everyone's list. He was no doubt a bad mofo. Eventhough looking back Trinidad lost to jones and winky, he was never knocked out in that fasion. Putting boxing aside, this fight was right after 9/11 too. Had to have been a great victory for the American after such a horrifying event. I agree, that's a solid pick for 2000s

60's. A good amount of solid lower weight fights but I think Muhammad Ali(Clay at the time) massively upsetting a close to Prime Sonny Liston have got to be the win of the decade. 70's Most clear cut from this list. Frazier beating a past prime but still elite Ali in their first fight. 80's A HUGE amount of big wins during this decade but i think Duran beating Leonard in Montreal will take the cake here. 90's Douglas over Tyson. Pretty easy choice. 2000's Tarver KO Roy Jones Jr 2nd fight. 2010-2017. JMM KO Manny Pacquaio and I don't think any other win have even come close. I think this probably right, I'd say Toney's W over Nunn is a solid contender for the 90's

Hindsight is 20-20. Tito had just battered a top 5 MW and the best JMW. That was a huge win for Hopkins. I think that one barely edges out Pac over Barrera. This actually isn't a hard list to make. That decade is the only iffy one. I agree with the others. If Sweet Pea got his rightful win over JCC, then I'd say that one. over Douglas Tyson considering those are two top 20 all time greats. Oscar if he finishes the fight the right way against Tito is close as well

2000's i like forrest over moseley 1 because even though some talk about the 2nd round headbutt...that fight wasnt even close. I also like barrera over hamed...i loved that little guy and i felt bad for his embarrassment. That was a great win Let's not forget Mayorga-Forrest 1 :D

Oh man the 80s and 2000s has some stiff competition to pick from. I think most will agree with Douglas-Tyson as win of the 90s. 80s... I'm leaning towards Duran-Leonard 2000s? Maybe Barrera-Hamed... idk have to think about it more lol. Hopkins-Trinidad is another big one. 2010s - Marquez - Pac IV LMAO at whoever picked Mayweather-Marquez as win of the decade though :rofl:

60's Griffith killing paret....no I'm joking. Cassius clay beating Liston 70's Ali losing to Frasier. Or Ali beating foreman neither is a wrong answer 80's a young Tyson stopping undefeated spinks In 91 seconds to become the youngest hw champion of all time 90's- buster Douglas doing what can only ever be topped by Connor McGregor. 20's Floyd at 151lbs getting his only sd vs oscar at 154 becoming the only man in history to win belts in 5 divisions undefeated. 2010- so far? Jmm ko 4 pac or mayweather beating pac how many years was oscar removed from his prime when he fought floyd?

Jmm ko 4 pac or mayweather beating pac I dunno about all this Frazier beating Ali talk. Ali was ocming off a 3 year lay off at the time, with barely any time in the ring. It's nowhere close to being bigger and better than Ali over Foreman. Cmon now, Mayweather squeaking past a post prime Oscar in a dud of a fight? There are at least 20 better wins, more remarkable, more entertaining and with a lot more boxing involved.

Probably agree with all that actually. :headbang: It's hard to argue against at least. Thanks. Yeah but in context, Bernard Hopkins was in the p4p rankings and had unified 2 belts for the undisputed against Felix Trinidad, and had seen some limelight among casual fans because of the Tournament and of being an opponent for Trinidad, Trinidad was the favorite against him but everyone knows that it wasn't going to be easy for him. Pacquiao was a literal nobody outside of hard core boxing fans, and was seen as an easy meat for Barrera so that they could get it on with the 3rd fight for Erik Morales, Pacquiao derailed that plans out of nowhere and became an instant household name. I was very close to picking Pac over Barrer as win of the decade. It was simply remarkable that a tiny little Phillipino was coming over to fight the greatest featherweight on the planet, on short notice, with barely any experience at that level and only 23 years old. He won and he battered Barrera in the process, ripping his prime from him. But it has to go to Hopkins, 35 or so years old, beating a prime, atg puncher with utter ease. How many rounds do any of us even give TIto before the stoppage? 1? 2? I'd probably list the great wins of the 00s as: Hopkins > Tito Pacquiao > Barrera Barrera > Hamed Barrera > Morales Morales > Pacquiao Morales > Barrera Tarver > Jones II Hopkins > Tarver Pacquiao > Oscar Sanders > Wlad

In context Pacquiao defeating Barrera is much better than Hopkins defeating Trinidad. Barrera in his absolute prime in his best weight while Trinidad is in MW not WW (obviously not in his best weight). Hopkins outweighs Trinidad too while Pacquiao and Barrera are about the same weight.

What? At 35 years old in 2001, people were saying Hopkins was too old and was gonna get KO'ed. I understand you're trying to really convince people that's the best win of the 2000s, but please realize MAB had 3 losses, Trinidad had no losses. Hopkins was seen as old, Trinidad was seen in his prime, #2 P4P by The Ring, Hopkins #7 P4P. Pacquiao was young, Hopkins was old...Trinidad was prime and undefeated, Barrera was prime and defeated 3 times.

well manny did win. he landed the much cleaner punches. isnt that the point in boxing??? how does it feel having floyds best win on par with jeff horn? at least horn was landing something clean in that fight unlike floyds grazing pathetic shots Out of this great thread the only thing you can contribute is some shots at Floyd? Pathetic. He won get over it. I swear you a whole hoe in here.

It's the most shocking, but not the best. Marquez had already beat Pacquiao a couple times before that. Some people say 3 times so I can't put it at #1. Gotta be Mayweather over Pacquiao since they're considered #1 and #2 in this era. 80s - Leonard over Hagler 90s - Douglas over Tyson 00s - Mayweather over Marquez (His only real loss) 2010s - Mayweather over Pacquiao After all the years of people wanting May-Pac they won't even give the winner credit :nonono: If Manny had won everyone would have it as #1 on their list :nono: well manny did win. he landed the much cleaner punches. isnt that the point in boxing??? how does it feel having floyds best win on par with jeff horn? at least horn was landing something clean in that fight unlike floyds grazing pathetic shots

2017 is not a decade lol but apart from that let's go 1960s - Ali over Liston. It's not just who he beat but how he beat him. 22 years old, walloped Liston around the ring, Liston tries to cheat and gets walloped worse, ends up quitting. 1970s - Another Ali special and no one should ever overlook it. ALi not only beat the most feared puncher in the history of the sport. he upset massive odds at 32 and barely looked in any serious trouble. 1980s - Duran beating Leonard in not just a great victory but a great fight. People tend to forget this was an absolute welterweight classic and both men went toe to toe. 1990s - Douglas stopping Tyson. Possibly the goat upset and...well not much more needs to be said. 2000s - Gonna end this list with Hopkins out smarting, out boxing and than stopping Tito...the beatin gwas so bad, he never managed to recover. 2010s thus far - JMM KO4 Pacquiao. Probably agree with all that actually. :headbang: It's hard to argue against at least.
