      Lets see.

      Bernard Hopkins vs Kelly Pavlik 'Hopkins basically ended his career'.

      Not sure what decade that was, even still it is a underrated win.
      I think that was 08 as it was Hopkins first fight following the Calzaghe loss. I actually bet on B-Hop that night he was a 3/1 dog if I remember correctly. I didn’t expect him to dominate Pavlik like he did though, very impressive win.

      B-Hop ruined a lot of guys: Cloud, Pascal, Tarver, Trinidad.

        Vic Darchinyan over Cristian Mijares unifying the WBC, WBA and IBF titles.

        Marquez-Pacquiao 3 if the judges weren't corrupt ****heads.

        Sergio Martinez over Kelly Pavlik was a great win for Serg.

        Mikkel Kessler over Carl Froch.

        Sor Rungvisai over the then P4P king Chocolatito.

        Fury over Klitschko has to be mentioned. Great win for Fury.

        Huge underdog Fernando Montiel beating Hozumi Hasegawa ending his 5 year title reign.

        Giovani Segura beating Ivan Calderon, took his 0 and ended his 7 year title reign.

        Hopkins over Pascal. 46 year old Hopkins became the oldest man in history to win a major world title.

          Canelo went on to be considered an ATG one year later. So that must be a hell of a win.
          It was a draw, read the thread title

              Fury not dropping a single round to Wlad

              People scoff at it because Wlad poo'd himself and didn't want to fight making it a boring fight.

                  I like your Bradley over JMM shout, that’s definitely one also.
                  trout over cotto is a good pick, trout in general was underrated. i thought he beat canelo.

                  Floyd Mayweather over Canelo Alvarez.
                  mosley win was huge, i thought margarito would walk through him like he did cotto but mosley beat his ass. the fight was in 09 though.

                  but here specifically on this board, and everywhere you found "real" boxing talk everyone and their god damn mothers thought matthysse was the next coming of jesus christ. hell i even fell into the massive hype train. he had some of the biggest hype here for any fighter ive ever seen

                  and danny garcia straight up beat him. and didnt die
                  it is a great win but i don't think it is underrated, to this date i think it is his best win.

                    The hell he did! Think 90% of people can agree that was a robbery. More fool pacquiao for taking the fight though. If it wasn't for that fight horn would still be an unknown bum.

                      Antonio Margarito was the baddest man in boxing at that time 'I wanted Mosley to win, and knew he could but? I was not certain. Against Richardo Mayorga it seemed as if Mosley, 'Saved himself with a late knock out etc'

                      Some nice commentary from Emanuel Steward, describing Mosley's left hook which ended the fight.
