        No...just No.

        A great win is a 40-0(37 Kos) opponent Who just destroyed the world champ in less than 2 rounds. Compare that to....Tommy Burns.

        Its about quality not historical wishy washy stuff.

          The bold should never be discussed as the greatest win for boxing. If anything, it was the worst.

              Other candidates i think are:

              Duran beating Leonard

              Louis over schmeling

              Clay over liston

              Leonard over hearns

              What do you think??
              can do no better...

                Well that was not described in the OP, but if that's the case lets add some originality to this thread. I'll say Harry Greb in his first fight over Gene Tunney.

                      Rocky's victory over Clubber Lang was pretty sweet.
