Best boxing performance you've seen in the past 5 years?

Originally posted by UFOlogist View PostMaking a move from 135 to 146 (Mayweather's weigh-in weight) is the equivalent of a 154 fighter moving up to 166.5 lbs (both are an 8.14% increase on the original weight). If Andre Ward got Canelo or Lara to fight him at 166.54 lbs for their first fight at that weight and shut them out, would it be a great performance?

Like i said, Marquez will always be at a disadvantage, we saw it against Bradley, Pacquiao 4 he was too slow. Ironically the smallest one closest to his size, being Pacquiao, is the one he beat convinceingly.

People thought Manny would decapitate Marquez in their 3rd fight @ WW. Marquez arguably beat Pacquiao twice @ WW. Marquez has proven that he can hold his own @ WW. Neither Canelo nor Lara are Marquez.
Beating a 36-year-old Marquez that you dragged up 11 pounds isn't the achievement Floyd fans think it is.

Originally posted by UFOlogist View PostWeight had a great deal to do with it. Mayweather's action shows he knows weight is of great importance. That's why he drags fighters up from lower divisions and drained Canelo.

This might not be a popular one but Margarito beating down Cotto was impressive to me. Cotto was undefeated, probably in his prime, and Margarito made him take a knee out of fear. I know people will be quick to mention the wraps but I'm sure it wasn't the first time Margarito had the plaster. Cotto was the first to take knee.

Name one fighter in history who could fight them and NOT beat or destroy them. But change their entire fighting style and dominate them without being touched. Because I dont think their are any and will ever be any. EVER.
