Best Boxing Performance You Have Ever Seen?

[El Dominicano]

Calzaghe VS Manfredo: Did you see those combinations that Calzaghe threw.They were brilliant and percise with such amazing speed.I thought Manfredo was going to be seriously hurt from that barage of bombs.In my opinion the ref stopped it to late,someone could of been hurt.It didn't last long but when it was done,you knew people were going to talk about for decades like Hagler-Hearns,short but sweet.

Calzaghe shouldn't be blamed becuz the ref chose to stop the fight to fast. I agree... That was the worst stoppage EVER in the history of BOXING but we all know Calzaghe was gonna whop that ass.

This is not a Calzaghe thread.

Ha ha. How could I forget it?

What is your real answer?

Ali Vs Foreman,He was a heavy underdog in that fight with even Howard Cosell saying he had no chance but Ali showed the criticts he was the greatest.Using the rope a dope and tireing big George than unleashing one of the most complete combinations right to his chin that put down the monster for good.

ive mentioned it before but it was the beating that Salvador Sanchez gave Wilfredo Gomez. No other fight in my mind comes close in terms of the level of both fighters and the brilliance that Sal showed in that fight. Its one thing for a fighter to give a beating to someone who is good but everyone knew who was gonna win. and its another thing when a fighter comes in to face another fighter at their supposed level like Salvador did against the great Wilfredo Gomez and to just plain out skill and dominate them. Sanchez from the first round beat the **** out of Gomez and could have finished him probably in that first or second round but he loved to work on his boxing he didnt like knocking out his opponents early so he just kept beating Gomez all fight till he just finally decided ok im done in the 8th rd. we are talking again about Gomez one of the best boxers of alltime and Sanchez made him look a kid! Very few fights if any saw a greater boxing performance than the one Sanchez gave! R.I.P Salvador Sanchez damn...

All three of those are just beautiful. Absolute masterclass performances.

Whitaker vs Chavez
Whitaker vs Nelson
Whitaker vs Ramirez II

All three of those are just beautiful. Absolute masterclass performances.

Yeah I think that given the calibre of the opposition Whitaker-Chavez has to be up there. Pernell made that man look ****** in there.

As I think Silencers mentioned Robinson-LaMotta is probably my number 1. The ridiculous accuracy of his shots were just mental. Just rapid combinations landing exactly where they were supposed to over several rounds, I'm not sure I have seen anything like that.

on some real **** I aint a calzaghe fan but the manfredo fight sticks out even though yall joke about it. it was crazy to see a fight stop like that. all that work rate making a so called world class fighter go into a shell and force the ref to call th fight without him getting damaged.

I liked roy jones and james toney how he out classed such a great fighter in toney. just kept nailing him with that hook on the way in and toneys a real slick boxer.

I loved pavlik getting off the floor and ending the taylor fight in such spectacular fashion.

I loved that brillience of mayweather vs gatti.

holyfield vs tyson in the first fight.

cotto vs judah with all that blood.

theres so many good ones its hard to say one is better than others.
