      I was thinking about adding one of Khan fights. When Khan was on fire he was great to watch.

        As fun as he was to watch, I don’t think he ever produced a historically impressive performance tbh.

        His performance/win against Maidana was probably his most impressive, he made me a fan that night.

          That was impressive at the time and even more looking back knowing how bad Khan's chin was, him surviving stood out as much as his offense that night

            I thought it was a good performance and he showed heart, grit etc but I can’t say I was majorly impressed. That version of Maidana was very crude as well, he improved a lot after he went to Robert Garcia.

I haven’t watched it in a long time for that reason. But to say he destroyed Holy doesn’t leave u much room. I thought Holy won the second fight, but I was more of a fan of his. I was on a trip to Oz and in the pub they all cheered Lennox as the winner. So I question myself more than them.
              Barrera vs Hamed was a great performance. Cotto vs Martinez was great even if Martinez was leaking more oil than most thought.
              Lennox Lewis fought within himself, that is why I state? It was the best version of Lewis 'Holyfield sustained heavy damage in that fight'. I was actually going to list Holyfield performance against Lewis in the rematch 'Win or Lose as one of the most impressive performances ever considering, the first fight and? The stage of Holyfield's career etc'.

              I think Wladimir Kiltschko's performance vs Joshua was one of his best performances.

              Chris Euabnk vs Carl Thompson I & II.
              Chris Eubank vs Joe Cazlaghe <<< Eubank for a moment in the last round had Calzaghe out on his feet, but never followed up 'He just proceeded to let Calzaghe lean on him, until the bell rang' Yes he was most likely fatigued but, I honestly believe that instinct to finish was gone'.

                I felt Wlad’s performance against AJ was one of his very worst. His timing was off, he looked hesitant, he lacked killer instinct. He showed heart but that was about it. He was far past his prime.

                  It was one of his greatest efforts, he left it all in the ring 'That is why he wanted no rematch'.

                  At the time nobody was getting up off the canvas vs Joshua 'Kiltschko not only got up? HE nearly ended the fight, and proceeded to inflict damage upon Joshua'.

                  Joshua vs Kiltschko is the greatest heavyweight fight of the past decade without a shadow of a doubt.

                  I have even stated on here many times 'Joshua getting up from Kiltschko's right hand was more impressive than Fury getting up of Wilder's slow fatigued desperate shots of their fight'

                  Wladimir Kiltschko's right hand was like a Tomahawk Land Attack Missile.

                    Mike Tyson vs Alex Stewart, probably one of Tyson's most impressive wins 'It is not a fight I have watched many times'. The power, strength and ferociousness is something else 'What a great event Mike Tyson vs Buster Douglas rematch would of been'.

                    I always liked Tyson under Richie Giachetti, performed kind of alright underneath his coaching.

                      A lot of people have cited Duran-Leonard I. It might be the most mentioned fight. Maybe it’s because I rewatched it just a couple of days ago, but it was the first match that came to mind. Roberto had come up from lightweight to fight the undefeated Leonard, who had already beaten the great Wilfred Benitez. Although “Sugar” made a mistake in fighting Duran’s fight, he still put up an incredible performance of his own. You can only be great when you beat greatness, and Roberto delivered that night in Montreal — fantastic fight, fantastic performance.
