Your Top 3 favorite boxing moments from last 20 years?

[gingerbreadman]

1. Froch vs Taylor. I'd just become a boxing fan, and it was the first fight I stayed up to watch. Great success.

2. July last year, Figueroa-Arakawa, Thurman-Chaves, Soto-Karass-Berto. Not the biggest fights, but the best card I've watched in terms of sustained action.

3. Maidana-Broner.

[Fightfan203]

There's a million great fights I could list but I will try to follow the rules and say what's immediately on my mind.

Always nice to see arrogant guys humbled.

1) Tarver ko'ing Roy Jones. My hate for RJJ was very high back then because he kept talking all this nonsense about him beating the Klitschko's etc so when Tarver lit him up, it was like to me "there is a god". The more Roy lost the humbler he got and I like the humble RJJ much more.

2) Sanders wrecking WladKlit- had fought 3 rounds in 2 years was seeing a sports pyshcologiust, every indication he would lose, and he just went in there and as soon as he saw an opening, and blasted out the future king of the division.

3) Morales-Barrera 1 is kind of in a tie with Castillo-Corrales 1.

4) I am gonna cheat and go back further- James Toney surprising Michael Nunn who was a fantastic boxer was another huge moment for me.
Also when Iran the Blade Barkley lit the **** up Tommy Hearns.

Off the top of my head:

1) Amir Khan winning his first world title without a question. Realization of a dream. Always knew he was the truth.

2) Manny Pacquiao getting Knocked out. Not that i wish it on someone, but Marquez deserved the 3rd one without an argument and finally he won "on paper". He won the 2nd one too.

3) Naseem Hamed getting exposed.

Share????

JMM clearly lost the second fight and blew his lead in the third fight
Anyway, Top three moments of the last 20yrs???? Let's see..............
1. Tito knocking out Vargas
2. Danny knocking out Khan
3. Mosley annihilating Plasterito

JMM KO 6 on. I was jumping up and down celebrating after having JMM robbed in their third fight and Arum talking about the decision was just business. JMM shut the door, and left no controversy in the ring.

Trinidad blasting punk ass Vargas. Never liked Fernando so I was glad to see him get mutilated by one of my all time favorite boxers.

Roy Jones - Montell Griffin II. Jones came with a purpose and made quick work with sick shots to get the fight over with

And watching Tyson bite Holyfield's ear off. I was 10 years old and it was my first time watching a PROFESSIONAL fight. I was like WTFFFFFFFF!

Notable mentions:
Watching Maidana whoop Broner. And watching Lara in the near future whoop Canelo.

1) Pacquiao 2nd round KO of Ricky Hatton.

Big Pacquiao fan so this was probably my favorite moment out of him. I remember thinking at the time no way Mayweather beats this guy if he fights like that LOL.

2) Watching Chavez Jr./Martinez round 12 in person.

Was at the Thomas & Mack Center in Vegas for this fight. Largely Mexican/pro-Chavez crowd. Martinez dominated the first 11 rounds but when Chavez scored the knockdown in round 12 the crowd went CRAZY... everyone thought he would get the stoppage. A lot of back and forth between Argentinian and Mexican fans throughout the fight... by far the best atmosphere for a fight I've ever seen. 30-45 minutes after the fight ended most people were still in their seats it was that crazy.

3) Gatti/Ward I round 9.

Watched it live on TV. My favorite round and have it in my top 5 of sports moments across all sports. This round (and the entire fight) is basically what converted me from a casual boxing fan to a hardcore enthusiast.
