Since Hopkins is my favorite, but has already been mentioned, I'll go with another favorite fighter of mine not mentioned.
Oscar De La Hoya:
- Julio Cesar Chavez, The torch was TAKEN.
- Ike Quartey, His first real physically draning fight.
- Felix Trinidad, Jerry Roth, is an ass.
- Fernando Vargas, Probably his biggest victory. He should have had two others.
- Ricardo Mayorga, When you can put on that kind of performance at his age, it shows a highly skilled boxer.
The two fights he SHOULD have won, that I alluded two are his second fight with Shane Mosley, and his loss to Trinidad have bothered me. Those two fights, he should have won. Yet, people continue to judge him as if he doesn't perform well in big fights. He's had huge fights his entire career, and has only TRULY lost to Mosley in the first fight, Mayweather and Hopkins. Not saying he never got a gift. But you'd hope in fights that HUGE, the scoring would be better.Comment

James Toney - Michael Nunn - despite being inexperienced at top level, a huge underdog, and being outboxed comprehensively throughout the fight, 22 year old Toney bid his time and took Nunn out with a devastating barrage in the eleventh round. Never losing sight of victory, Toney told his corner throughout the fight that he was okay and that Nunn was gassing out. Remember, Michael Nunn himself was unbeaten at the time, a beautiful boxer drawing some comparisons to people like Ray Leonard, he'd just whipped Don Curry too so it was a huge upset, and a brilliant display of wherewithall and punching power by one of the upcoming stars of the time.
Toney - Reggie Johnson - NEVER happens these days, but after winning the title and going 11 rounds Toney was in the ring defending the belt ONE month later against slick southpaw Reggie Johnson. Ok, not his best performance, and a very close decision win, but the sheer fact Toney was willing to go out and prove his title win was no fluke against one of the sharpest movers in the division deserves major kudos. James also picked himself up off the floor to win.
Toney - Iran Barkley - undoubtedly one of the best dismantlings of a fighter in the past 20 years. Toney used speed, ringsmarts, power, defence, combination punching in what was a brilliant performance against the ever-dangerous battle horse Iran Barkley. This was the performance which truly showed his every dimension and garnered pound-for-pound credibility.
Toney - Tim Littles - Unbeaten Littles boxed like a dream, he moved beautifully and outboxed Toney for a couple rounds as the champ stalked him. Third round Toney gets a busted eye, a really horrific gash and the docs tell him he's got just one round left...what does Toney do? Go after Littles with venom and blast him to the canvas 3 times en route to a devastating KO. "I saw blood, that means he gotta die" Toney said in the post fight interview. Un****ingreal.
Toney - Jirov - Everyone, I mean everyone had counted James out when he fought unbeaten Jirov for the cruiserweight title in 2003. He'd been battling the bulge more or less for a decade and as a result had lost to Drake Thadzi, he'd also lost twice to gifted Montell Griffin (both decisions highly debatable, ALL of the HBO team had Toney winning the first) and he was 30lbs north of his original weight class. Toney came in and TOOK the champion apart, sending him to the floor in the penultimate round to cap his third world title in as many weight classes.Comment
