    Which wins in history impressed you as much as last sat?

    Gypsy king won in a manner the general public didn’t expect him to against a dangerous puncher in his prime.
    Which wins in history of the sport made you feel the same way? As impressed as that, or even more impressed than that?
    Im hoping more older guys (40-50 plus years old) are still here to express their views

    As a 27 yr old, pacquiao vs barrera first comes to mind
    Floyd-canelo? Martinez-williams II?

    I didn't expect rigo, sosa, marriaga or walters to edge out lomachenko but the way he just toyed with them and made them all quit back to back (in walters case, quit the entire sport) was surreal.

      Loma-walters was impressive.. considering what he did to donaire. But against rigo not so much, rigo just plainly quit without even getting hurt bad, his ego bleed first.

        Bute-Froch.

        Every man and his dog picked Bute to spark Froch clean out. Froch ended up beating the living daylights out of him, complete domination.

            Marquez planking Pacquiao after being robbed so many times. I was super impressed. Also faded Morales outboxing prime Pacquiao was impressive in hindsight. See my sig for the Pacquiao planking

              Hope I don't get flak for this but I feel the comeback win was as impressive as Joshua's comeback fight vs Ruiz. They both improved drastically in their game plans to completely dominant their opponent in the rematch. Reminds me a bit of how Lewis always avenged his losses with newfound savagery and skill.

                Agree with pac-marquez, that was a dramatic ending to a rivalry.

                But with morales? I dont get why he was considered faded at that time really. He was like 28-29 at that point, just two losses and not even bad ones. How the hell was that a faded version? It was the best version of him physically, before going downhill.. he took a lot of damage in that as well albeit outboxing pac. It may have very well even caused his decline aside from playing with his weight

                  Honestly, cotto margarito II. Margarito, willing to dye in the ring gets never the same after pac, cotto , handlers care too much against pac, doesn't have to die in the ring. Mosley, slaughters the beast, Margo: in the first fight make s cotto bleed tears of blood...
                  Manny n cotto become stablemates, finally cotto relives the revenge on Margo which was sweet. Plus cotto and Mosley go nip and tuck in a close fight.
                  With all these variables I think it was great,
                  Margarito cotto 2. Then pac goes on to fight Mosley, who asks his corner to stop the fight because of his blister. Brother nazeem refused to throw in the towel.

                    you are responding with a serious post to a troll? that was pac's first fight at 130 as well but no one ever mentions that. first fight at 130 against a guy who was #2 with his only losses coming to the #1 guy. FADED! SHOT! these same people probably pretend floyd didnt drain canelo. prime healthy canelo!
