List Some of the most Dominant Performances Where a Fighter Avenged an Earlier Defeat

I liked how Kenny Norton avenged his loss to Jose Luis Garcia. Rematch was brutal and one-sided, Norton just destroyed Garcia using great body punching and uppercutts.

I remember watching their first fight on local TV. Garcia was really a cruiserweight (before they existed) so this was a stunner. It was the first hint that Norton's chin was quite vulnerable.

But it is under the same circumstance as the question being asked so again, that doesn't matter.

At least to me the word "avenge" implies that you "returned the favor" "or "set the record straight" which is what happened in all the other fights except Margarito vs Cotto 2 which was a meaningless fight between 2 shot fighters that proved nothing

No, to a avenge a loss it means you beat the person that previously beat you.

Whether it proves anything or not is irrelevant.

The Cotto-Margarito situation is one that fits the description of the question being asked.

It's not difficult to grasp.

Cotto may have been past his prime, but he was hardly shot. The success of the promotion proved that the fight was hardly meaningless. You make it sound like Hopkins-Jones II, which thankfully hasn't been mentioned yet.

Which pains me to say but Tarver/Jones 2 probably belongs on the list.
