    Your favourite fighter coming out party?

    (No Orlando Cruz jokes, please)

    What are those fights when someone really showed their greatness for the first time and announced themselves as a special talent? It's one of those things I truly love as a fan.

    Thread inspired by Rigo's frankly magnificent performance against Nonito. Even though Nonito is my boy and it was difficult to see him struggle like that, it was hard not to marvel at Rigo in that fight. Reminded me why people were so excited when defected over.

    Nonito himself against Darchinyan was a great statement.

    Morales against Zaragoza was badass.

    Bowe's first fight against Holyfield.

    I know he's not fulfilling his potential but Linares against Larios was sensational.

    Yours?

        Mares vs Moreno for me.

        Ward beating Froch was great also.

          Guererro v Berto. Guererro was a known talent to many but this fight served notice to the goofs on this forum.
