What is the greatest boxing performance you have ever seen?

[Easton Assassin]

I would beat that by K.O..........preferably it would go into the later rounds.

Holy perfect asschecks Batman! Two mankeys in a sack fighting to the death!

I would bury my face in that **** till i suffocated!

Golota Bowe 2 was pretty damn good too. He improved on the accuracy of his low blows... every single one seemed to cripple Bowe.

If you watch the first fight one of the low blows when bowe was down, i think Merchant was talking and in the background outta nowhere you here the guy scream"Get uuuuppppppp biiigggg dadddddddddddddddddy"

It was the best thing ever caught on tape!

This is a valid selection. I remember watching this fight and Barerra schooling Hamed. I loved when he slammed his head into the ring post. The reason this was so great was because no one had ever completely picked hamed apart the way Barerra did.

I loved that fight. Barerra did what alot of people wanted to see: Hamed getting his ass kicked. Hell, the little smart ass basically quit boxing after that.

Why does Floyd beating an old,slow, far past his prime Gatti considered as a great boxing performance? Oscar destroyed him years before. Gatti was completely shot when it came fighting elite competion. Honestly why is Floyds performance considered great when gatti has been in more than his fare share of wars, and is way past his prime? Do you consider Oscar destroying him years before a great performance? I'm guessing you are gonna have some reason to say no.

That is an excellent point.

But this is where boxing becomes a little bit like figure skating. You get that 5.7 from the Russian judge.

We all think Cotto is a good, elite fighter. On the basis of ...what again? Beating a Judah who was winless in two years? Nahmean?

Delahoya pounded out Gatti. For sure. But what Floyd did was somehow...umm....prettier. The fast hands and the combinations, etc. Actually, if you remember the ODLH-Gatti fight, Arturo actually had moments. The entire boxing community was like "WHOA" after watching what PBF did. Oscar didn't get that reaction from his performance.

Hatto was heavily criticized for looking ****ty against Collazo and Urango. But then he stops castillo, and everybody is back on the bandwagon. We are questioning why Judah just went 10 with a journeyman. It's important (sometimes) how you look. Like figure skating.

The PBF-Gatti fight was just a pure snuff film.

DLH v Gatti was FAR more brutal than PBF v Gatti.

PBF v Gatti wasn't really even a beat-down until the 4th round.

DLH v Gatti was a beat-down from round 1.

Yeah, but it was a gatti after a few more wars and alot more gone. For christ sakes he just got pounded out by a ***in contender runner up! Think that guy coulda done it before gatti fought DLH? no ***in way-milage,wear and tear do alot to diminish a fighter, and wars do even more-anyone remember the two ***in lifestruggles with ward? How much would you have left after that?

Again, credit where it's not due!

When Hatton beat Tszyu I was like DAMN. But he's lost a lot of that hype lately.

Pacman beating Barrera down was a big one also.

haha the thread title was boxing performance not MMA

[ELPacman]

You know, there's so many. But running one off the top of my head would be Winky Wright vs Tito Trinidad. I expected it to some degree, as in, Winky may lose some rounds, but take most of them by better boxing skills. No way did I picture a shutout with Winky making such a devastating puncher like Tito, look so vulnerable and 1 dimensional. Not even Hopkins did that in my eyes because there wasn't much holding in the Wright fight. It was all jabs and superior defense that won the night and put Tito back into retirement then. That says a lot.

The Gatti fights were brutal, but how much more brutal than any other fight that Gatti takes a beating? Seeing Gatti get beat badly isn't saying much because he never was good at anything. Just a straight up slugger with boxing skills against bad boxers. You actually expected him to beat a bigger Oscar or faster Floyd? I saw that **** coming from miles away. Don't say either Oscar or Floyd is great or amazing from those performances just because Gatti makes anyone look great. ****, I guess Alfonso Gomez is the next P4P #1.
