    Marquez KO over Pac


    Pac was at the height of his career when it happened.

      Ya think so? Joshua hadn't even established himself as the best in his division. What differentiates this win over any other victory from an underdog?

      It didn't make Ruiz the best in the world. Hell, it didn't make him the best in his division. It was an underdog victory. Nothing more.

          Ward over Kovalev. Some people (myself included) thought Kovalev won the first fight. Ward came back and stopped him in the rematch, which was pretty impressive. Marquez was obviously on PEDs for the fourth Pac fight, so that one is out. Mayweather ran and constantly clinched his way to survive a one-armed Pac in the "fight of the century," so that fight was terrible. Ruiz over Joshua was a huge upset, so that would be my second vote.

            AJ wasn’t the clear #1 by any stretch. Based off the flaws exposed in the Ruiz fight there’s no way anyone can reasonably suggest he should have been ranked higher than Fury or even Wilder for that matter.

            Pascal I’ll accept but he was the lineal champion and clear #1 in the division, besides that win is more about a 46 year old man recapturing the Light Heavyweight title.

            Roman Gonzalez is a far better fighter than AJ will ever be and was p4p #1 at the beginning of 2017. Comparing AJ to him is a disgrace. Gonzalez is a far superior fighter in every department. C’mon man you can’t be serious suggesting Ruiz-AJ is the same calibre as SSR-Gonzalez.

              WOTD goes to Marquez splitting manny’s wig

              So much drama and sensation leading up into the fight and during it

              Will Marquez finally get his poetic justice and just do or will the legendary manny finally vanquish his great arch nemesis

              Marquez came in as the underdog and clapped the congressman man cold for robbing him blind prior

              Marquez conquered the man last awarded FOTD and snagged WOTD in the process

              Marquez did the unexpected by getting to manny b4 Floyd did

                  I dunno man, (I thought he won personally) but he was coming off a SD loss to Bradley and contentious win (Which he clearly lost IMO) over Marquez

                    Agreed. It’s definitely categorised as an great upset as opposed to a great win.

                      Of the fights you listed my vote goes to Mayweather beating Canelo although he should have fought him at 154 instead of draining him to 152 or no fight. Still even with the catchweight it was a very good win.
