What are your top 3 most impressive wins in boxing history?

[Rockybigblower]

Froch vs Bute
Markus Beyer vs Danny Green 2
SSR vs Gonzales 2

[Lomadeaux]

gonna stick to my era:

Jones vs Toney

Rigo vs Donaire

Hopkins vs Tito

sleeper:

Forrest vs Mosley

You have Rigo beating Donaire as a top win? I mean I love Rigo but that's interesting.

Chavez KO Taylor. Julio was losing for the first time and the clock was nearing 00:00. He never gave up or lifted his foot off the pedal. He just kept punching, tirelessly, while getting hit often, and grinded Taylor to a nub.

Yea, but Steele should not have stopped that fight. He earned his right to see the scorecards.

''De La Hoya is his lowest weight in eight years.''

Take those odds and laugh at them.

What exactly did you think Classy Cotto would say ? That clause though. And Pac would never do a clause free Cotto fight !

I would have loved to seen Capt Caveman get dizzy trying to fight May....

The end

Dela hoya was a beast at 147lbs
Cotto last fight weigh is 146 lbs and he cleary say that naking 145 is not a problem
that caveman confronted and make floyd almost pee in his pants.

End....

Ali vs Foreman

Benn vs G man

Ray mancini vs duk koo kim he wiped out 3 ppl and changed boxing - Kim's mother committed suicide three months after the fight, and the bout's referee, Richard Green, killed himself in July 1983 as a result of this bout, the WBC took steps to shorten its title bouts to a maximum of 12 rounds

[New England]

Personal favorites

Leonard over hearns

Frazier over Ali

Douglas over Tyson

i'd remove douglas over tyson, tyson wasn't himself and it was really more of an upset because of douglas' standing than tyson being the same guy he was in the 1980's.

and then i'd add duran over leonard.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

That’s reasonable and fair

Some wins that haven’t been mentioned that deserve to be.

Benitez-Cervantes (beat an all-time great in his prime at 17 years old)

Langford-Gans (Langford was just 17 against at that time arguably the best ever and still a certain top 20 all-time)

Pep-Saddler II (avenged a KO loss past his prime after a bad plane wreck vs. ATG in his prime)

Greb-Walker (Two of the greatest ever with Walker probably closer to prime)

Charles-Burley (Age 20 Charles is still developing, comes in as a late sub and schools a peak Burley and proves it’s no fluke repeating in an immediate re-match)

LaMotta’s win over Robinson and Angotts over Pep are great too as they are the only losses pinned on those two greats in their primes and the next times they lost they were like 140-1. Robinson and Pep were the smaller men though it must be noted.

Sanchez-Gomez
Herrera-Olivares I
Gans-Nelson I
Gomez-Zarate
Ross-McLarnin I
Armstrong-Ross

Beyond that obvious choices are Frazier-Ali (kicked Ali’s ass in the biggest sporting event ever), Duran-Leonard I, Ali-Foreman and Greb-Tunney (though it must be noted Greb was favored but in hindsight the beat Tunney to a pulp is incredible). I think Harada-Jofre, Leonard-Hagler, Griffith-Tiger are great wins but each one is somewhat debated as to whether it was the right decision and Griffith-Tiger was a boring fight.

Best modern era (last 20-25 years) wins IMO are Marquez-Pacquaio IV, Pacquaio-Barrera I, Morales-Pacquaio I, Barrera-Morales III, Jones-Toney, Hopkins-Trinidad, Fury-Klitschko (though it was boring as hell), Holyfield-Tyson I, Forrest-Mosley I, Mosley-De La Hoya I.

Yea, but Steele should not have stopped that fight. He earned his right to see the scorecards.

Chavez earned the right to a ko.

How many times is a ref suppposed to ask “are you ok?” before he decides a fighter isnt responding? Steele asked 2 times and still hasnt gotten an answer.

He earned the benefit of the doubt at that point.
