wow good list
for me it would have to be a tie
Manny beaten MAB, and MAB beaten Naz
in both cases it was good super bantam weights moving up in weight to face highly regarded true featherweights
i mean in both cases there was suppose to be a huge difference in strenght
but in the fight it became obvious that the smaller guy may infact be the stronger
they gave the performance of a life time and i dont think they'll be able to duplicate those nights in such a convinving fashion

I still say Hopkins total dismantling of Tito was one of the best performances I have ever seen. He may have borrowed from Oscar's plan but he did it 10 times better. Other than that I'd say Marquez performance against Pacquiao and Barrera's undressing of Hamed. I knew Barrera would beat Hamed but I didn't know he would do it that easy.

I'm putting my vote in for Nard against Tito.

I thought Lamon Brewster put forth a great performance in taking all that punishment and TKO'ing Wladdy.

Glen Johnson KO'ing Roy.

Lennox making Tyson look amateurish. I hate both of these guys, but Lennox made me respect him on that night. After 30 seconds into the fight......I was never thinking Tyson had a shot to beat him, even with the kind of power Tyson had. Lennox put on a great heavyweight performance that cemented his legacy.

[mic573]

Yeah Lewis beating Tyson down was a one of the best performances in the past 5 years.

How about Toney v. Jirov

both guys fought their ass off!

Toney took so much punisment to stay in there and land the can't miss counter left. Jirov's plan's was to bum rush for 12 and he did that. Toney's plan was to counter for 12 and he did that. Toney never tired the way many thought he would and slowly but surely gave Jirov who won many rounds the worst beating of his career. Amazing fight, amazing performance by both guys.
