    Greatest Boxing Performances of All Time

    Wondering what you guys think. Factor in the stage of the fighter's career, the style of the fight, the circumstances surrounding the fight, and the fighter's overall performance.

    Here's my short list:
    Frazier D15 Ali 1971
    Louis KO1 Shmelling 1939
    Douglas KO10 Tyson 1990

    (I also think Barrera d12 Hamed ranks highly. Hamed doesn't get alot of credit from Boxing Elitists, but I think Barrera fought the perfect fight to dominate that decision)

    One of my top choices is a fight that rarely gets mentioned. It was Tommy Hearns' first title win against Pipino Cuevas. He absolutely destroyed a champion who had dominated the welterweight division for over five years.

        I haven't seen that fight. I'll have to track it down.

          James Toney UD Vassiliy Jirov
          James Toney KO Evander Holyfield

          Two of the greatest performances.

            Toney TKO Barkley was Toney's best atleast at lighter weights. Toney schooled Barkley like a true master-boxer.

              That was Toney's best performance. He just took Barkley apart.

                Most of Toneys wins were masterful. Tim Littles was another great win.

                  a fight that was great was winky vs tito.
                  there skills and styles were totaly opposit.
                  titos fight with mayorga made this fight big, winky comeing out and schooling him for 12 rounds was amazing.
                  just when people thaugh tito was back, winky got another shot at makeing big money and showed why he was avoided for a long time

                    That was more of a demolition job than a fight.

                    We will see the same thing on the 19th.
