best boxing moment

Being from Atlanta, I've always been a Holyfield fan. Getting tickets for his WBA championship fight at the GA Dome and going wiht my dad and brother was my coolest boxing moment. They had the place configured to hold 40000 or so people and it was sold out. THe place went crazy when he came out ....the energy was more intense tnan anything i felt before anywhere. This was 98 so he still had some of his old skill.

In no particular order...just off the top of my head, focusing on the semi-recent...

-Foreman's KO of Moorer. Love him or hate him, Foreman got alot of criticism for his comeback, ate alot of ****, took alot of punishment to get to the point of landing that right hand. Phenomenal.

-Tarver's pre-fight "What's your excuse tonight.." and then KOing Jones 2 rounds later. They'll be talking about that for years. Johnson stole his thunder a little, but it was a great moment nonetheless.

-Chavez's right hand that dropped Taylor, and all the drama afterward. Great moment, one of the best comebacks in boxing. The sound in the arena is deafening when Taylor falls. Get goosebumps watching it.

-Ward's left that stopped Sanchez just after Merchant had said the fight should be stopped for like the 10th time (meaning stopped and awarded to Sanchez who was dominating). Roy and Lampley were still following the fight, and Roy had noted Ward's previous body shot. Merchant was on his 5th Bloody Mary and was just lashing Ward nonstop for his poor performance and had stopped even paying attention to the fight and commenting on it. I love seeing Merchant made to look a fool when he's so smug and nonchalent about dissing fighters.

-Gatti's KO of Rodriguez, another dramatic moment- if he doesn't do it in that round, the fight is probably stopped bc he can't see from his right eye. Of course, Gatti has several of these moments, but this is the best moment and most dramatic. It was do or die that round- the Dr was barely letting him go out for that round.

-DLH's KO of Vargas. I've always disliked Vargas, and seeing Vargas helpless on the ropes was just pure bliss. Great boxing moment when the smaller, more skilled, classier fighter takes out the thugged out, roided out, wannabe, ****-talker.

....a million more.
