    Hopkins dropping to the mat comes close.
    Hell yeah! That was one of boxing's best moments. B-Hop was soo overwhelmed by the K.O victory. I'm NOT sure what B-Hop's best win is but I'm sure that if you ask him...he'd probably say Tito

        I always liked Sugar Ray Leonard.
        And Thomas Hearns too.
        I have some strange favorites too

          To this moment I think that was Bernard's best win. A week or two after 9/11. Bernard(American) dominates Trinidad(Puerto Rican). And Bernard with all the antics in the buildup and just putting on a classic performance. I can watch that big right hand everyday lol. It was nice when he brought it back against Tarver.

            I was amzaed at what he did to Tarver. He moved up and whoped on him, outclassed him, made him look so damn average. Know what...I'm gonna download that fight again and watch it

                Hopkins health is just too elite, he has every right to be proud when he's making younger fighters look bad. Fighting at an age where most boxers are long retired, this man is in class of his own. I respect his OLD SCHOOL skills.

                  This **** ain't going to cut it Hype. I know you've to more to offer than that. Break down each guy and tell me about that passion.

                  I love Morales too, just want to clarify. I know I always bring up barrera, and rarely ever Morales. But that's only because I had a stronger passion for Barrera, it wasn't anything more complicated than that. I felt Barrera's wins and losses.

                    Very good thread fellas. What can I say, watching Boxing for so long there's just too many to choose from. But i'll just pick a few right now.

                    Mike Tyson. If it wasn't for his great boxing ability and story, i'd still be very interested in him. He's a character i'll never truly understand. It's the combination of things about this man that always ignite attention and sometimes admiration.

                    Rocky Marciano was a great fighter. Never gave up, was always exciting and always displayed sportmanship. Also a great human being. Reading books about him will make you understand what a great guy he was.

                    Evander Holyfield. One of the most exciting and greatest fighters of his generation. Was definitely not perfect, but his good deeds and his good nature, as well as his strong beliefs(Which I related to) just made him a loveable guy.

                      I'd love to meet him and just shake his hand.
                      is he actually gay. I hear he isn't a stranger to the gay-bars.
