    I agree but disagree, if you changed that look back and say wow to “that was an upset” or “he got off the floor” it may have been memorable but there has never been the threat or betting odds to support anything near that.
    I love watching over here s fights for the actual boxing content, he has fought all sides and styles within the 49 and for the two opponents people questioned he fought in his next fight to win again. He was never in any trouble against either Castillo or maidana and soundly beat everyone else so,
    The question of which fight stands out.....it’s every fight since ripping the title from Genaro Hernandez (he also paid for Hernandez funeral and took care of his family).
    I did like the corralles fight, the Mitchell beating and I also like watching the cotto fight, Miguel score more contact than many and actually drew blood!
    More to the point, Holyfield is wrong! The WBC belt IS the only title undisputed.

      A lot of black people are.

        Brain damage is a real thing people. Floyd won every belt at 147 at some point in his career and there's not one guy anybody would argue could've beat him at that weight. He would've beat Brook running away.

        Holyfield also thought Manny won lol that ESPN interview after the fight was hilarious. I like Holyfield as a fighter, but he needs to let that hatred go. Nobody is putting him ahead of Floyd on any all-time great list. He knows that.

            What Holyfield failed to mention is Floyd didn’t keep all the belts he won. He was Notorious for not paying sanctioning fees. Then there were very real political obstacles to making fights in Mayweathers era only partially encountered. How long did it take for him to fight Tyson, should we hold Holyfield accountable for that? In addition, Floyd did beat some of the same fighters that supposedly stood in the way of him being an undisputed champion.

                2009/2010 Pacquiao destroys him, like he did everyone else.
