    Most surprising moment

    Out of all the fights you've seen, which result shocked you the most and made your jaw drop.

    When I first watched Hearns vs Duran, I expected hearns to outpoint him not KO him. But even if there was a KO, I never expected Hearns to just steamroll him. I'm still in awe to this day.

    So for me: Hearns-Duran

    The KO from Walcott vs Marciano I gets honorable mention

    The first two that I think of are Foreman-Frazier I and Tarver-Jones II.

      All those were suprising. One for me was Leonard-Hagler. Leonard was retired a long time and Hagler was bigger and a top p4p fighter. I expected Hagler to send Leonard right back into retirement. In the early rounds which were Leonard's best, I sat there with my mouth wide open in disbelief.

        James knocking out Michael Nunn. Nunn was the #1 pfp at the time. Surprised the hell out of me.

        Also, Iran Barkleys ko of Thomas Hearns. I don't know how anybody could with stand the beating Iran was taking, left hook and it was over for Tommy.

        My personal biggest was when I was going in to finish a guy off throwing my right hand. Next thing I know I was grabbing the middle rope pulling myself off of the canvas and the refs on 4 or 5 with the count. The crowds going nuts and I was like wtf. Didn't even see the shot. **** happens.....Rockin'

              Roy getting laid out for the first time against Tarver was shocking, i mean he was ROY JONES!


              And also Sugar Shane Mosley beating the hell outta and stopping Margarito. Im a big fan of Shane's but i was convinced he was shot after the Mayorga fight and Margarito was the man, he'd just put Cotto through the meat grinder. I was sure this was gonna end bad for Mosley especially with all his Knockout talk - it looked impossible! But Shane turned back the clock and smashed the cheat to bits!

                How are you Rockin? Good to see you still posting.

                I'm definately with you on the first two, especially Barkley vs Hearns.

                Watching a fight live and for a dramatic ending nothing made my jaw drop more than Barkley and Hearns, although Jackson vs Graham runs it bloody close.
