    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.
    A great effort not a great performance.

    Fury getting up from Wilder’s right hand is far more impressive. GTFOH with that AJ fanboy BS.

      You can judge how a Floyd fight by how long the highlights video is lmao imo

      It was impressive in the sense that he controlled every aspect of the fight, but there wasn’t much fireworks. And Canelo was still a bit green at the time.

        Mostly the road of prime Tyson leading to the Spinks fight, the fight being the pinnacle of boxing power.

            Never really liked Nunn's style.

            Also, I don't consider getting dominated for the vast majority of the fight and then pulling out a late KO as all that impressive.

                It can be for whatever reason you like, whether they showed incredible skill, fortitude, toughness etc.

                My favourite three would be:

                Roy Jones UD against James Toney.

                Muhammad Ali KO 8 against George Foreman.

                Ray Leonard TKO 14 against Tommy Hearns.

                So many to choose from, what are yours?

                  Underrated fight in their 4 fight series. PAC won that one tho, too.

                    Different opinion, like ironic how GGGlovers (ain't talking bout u) claim Golov beat Alvarez however it doesn't apply to Marquez jobbed @ the hands of judges.

                      I had Pac winning 1-3 fights against Marquez but barely edging it each time, either with a knockdown or just more memorable punches and aggression. It was an awesome slew of fights they had.

                      GGG clearly beat Canelo first fight, 2nd fight could’ve gone either way. I had it a draw.
