60's.
A good amount of solid lower weight fights but I think Muhammad Ali(Clay at the time) massively upsetting a close to Prime Sonny Liston have got to be the win of the decade.

70's
Most clear cut from this list. Frazier beating a past prime but still elite Ali in their first fight.

80's
A HUGE amount of big wins during this decade but i think Duran beating Leonard in Montreal will take the cake here.

90's
Douglas over Tyson. Pretty easy choice.

2000's
Tarver KO Roy Jones Jr 2nd fight.

2010-2017.
JMM KO Manny Pacquaio and I don't think any other win have even come close.

Top thread btw.

90s James Toney over prime Michael Nunn is up there.

2000s Lennox over Vitali is up there.

In the 80's I would have to say Leonard over Hagler even though it's debatable that he really won. Marquez's KO win over Pacquiao is the most shocking win of the 2010's because he knocked him out, but I can't say it's the best. He had already beaten Pacquiao at least twice, some say 3 times before that fight so it wasn't a big deal that he won, not to me anyway, it was just the way he won. If you think Pacquiao's the 2nd best boxer of this era you gotta put Floyd's win over him as #1. Since most fans and media were clamoring for that fight for half a decade and the majority of fans picked Pacquiao to win. Haters will never give credit for it though.

The 2000's is hard to say. Tarver beating Roy was the most shocking moment, I wouldn't say it was automatically the best win. It was big in the sense that it was the end of an era, but you could say the same about Jermain Taylor beating B-Hop. Longer fights, and I know Taylor didn't live up to those 2 fights but they were big wins too. Mosley beating De La Hoya in the first fight was big too. That fight was a classic and Oscar hadn't really lost until that fight. (Most had him beating Tito).

2000's i like forrest over moseley 1 because even though some talk about the 2nd round headbutt...that fight wasnt even close.
I also like barrera over hamed...i loved that little guy and i felt bad for his embarrassment.

Dammit...i like kostya over zab as well....the beginning of the end for that super gifted mental midget.

Forrest over Mosley is a good one. As is Wright-Trinidad just because he had a 12-0 shutout against an ATG. Mayweather-JMM is a big win as well because besides that nobody has beaten Marquez convincingly. He could easily be 63-1.

It's the most shocking, but not the best. Marquez had already beat Pacquiao a couple times before that. Some people say 3 times so I can't put it at #1. Gotta be Mayweather over Pacquiao since they're considered #1 and #2 in this era.

80s - Leonard over Hagler
90s - Douglas over Tyson
00s - Mayweather over Marquez (His only real loss)
2010s - Mayweather over Pacquiao

After all the years of people wanting May-Pac they won't even give the winner credit

If Manny had won everyone would have it as #1 on their list
