What are the best boxing performances in history?

[removed]

Fury -Wilder 2

Casuals thought Wilder would win by KO, lol. Fury won every second of that fight.

The finest ever performance by a British HW.

Maybe all the others although I see seveal very doubtfuls that I don't have time to go into. But Mayweathe-Corrales is a definite out, a 1000% in the opposite direction. Corrales was a dead man walking. If you don't know the story, then you don't know much of anything to do with the underPscenes of boxing. Read up on it. Ty to get some real facts. Do you really think that Mayweather would fight an unbeaten killer KO artist like Corrales unless He KNEW that Corrales was in deep trouble and would be a walkover. Corrales spent all his "training" time in the sweatbox and the morning of the weigh in was still nearly 10 lbs overweight. His body had been doing the last minute weight drop for so long that it didn't work for him any more.
Which is why he's already gone up to lightweight. He had to be almost carried to the scales by a friend. He did NO training and had no interest in the fight, which he took ONLY because he needed the money to pay his lawyers . He went to Jail for 2 years immediately after the "fight"... and much more.

Every fight i listed was a clear domination. So wtf are you talking about. What facts do i need to look up? The facts were the actual fights weirdo.

The man asked for some dominant performances and thats what i listed. But you gotta hate on floyd some how huh?

And with everything you just said. Floyd still came into that fight as the underdog. So tell all that to vegas and hbo cause they had floyd losing that fight to corrales

Now tell me which fight i listed that wasnt a dominate perfromance or stfu

One insult deserves another.

You love Daggum, so there's that

Bruh.

How about you take the 2 seconds it takes to read and comprehend what I said instead of searching for what you wanted to read and respond to.

You feel insulted? Good. I explained exactly why I insulted you.

Instead of acknowledging the VERY FAIR criticisms that Daggum wrote you got offended.

Let me ask you. Why is that?

And as further proof of your extreme bias I asked you to do the impossible. Critisize Floyd which you REFUSED to do.

Who is someone who refuses to critize and instead chooses to gush and defend?

A fanboy.

Let me ask you another question that you won't answer. Can fanboys be objective?

Feel free to throw insults and show your true self. You think you're the only ga.y fanboy on this forum? I not even defending Daggum but instead disagree with you. But sure man, takes a lot of brain power to make that deduction right?!

Want me to introduce you to my dog Mexican Bidness?

Hes a 40+year old guy who gets off pretending to be a 13 year old gangsta pimp who runs da streets. Hes also Canelos biggest fan in more ways than one.

canelo barely sc****d by trout in his prevous fight at 154. what did you expect to happen at 152? you think that was the same canelo that fought ggg and kovalev. like come on. that floyd barely beat maidana so that should show how compromised canelo was. not that its a bad win but its just pathetic after floyds "pac drains his opponents, i want them healthy rant" and then he pulls that stunt. 2 154 pound champs figthing at 152. unheard of

To be fair, it also wasn't the same Mayweather who beat De La Hoya so they made the fight at the right time. Any earlier and Canelo is waaay too green; Any later and Floyd is a bit too old.

Canelo won a close but clear decision over Austin Trout to unify at 154 so I'm not sure what else he could have done beforehand to show that he was on the rise as an elite fighter, at least without missing out on the Mayweather fight altogether.

He wasn't at his peak yet but Canelo was certainly entering his prime at that point.

Marciano-Walcott 1, the set up.

If I thought anyone else had ever done anything else more amazing I'd go by their birth name and have their face in my avatar.

Marciano gets dropped by what Walcott calls his Sucka Punch. Walcott uses everything, feet, shoulders, movement, stances, everything. I do not believe any boxer in any weight class had a bigger bag of tricks then Joe. SRR never kept his upper half in southpaw with his lower still in orthordox stance to deceive a preloaded hook. Walcott's Sucka Punch is just that. Marciano took the bait one time, and was floored for it. He then proceeds to offer Joe the opening again for 10 more rounds and for 10 rounds straight Joe batters Marciano for it. Patient, the Rock continues his grind until Walcott makes the mistake of thinking he can KO Rocky if he hits that Sucka again. He goes for this but what he doesn't know is Marciano had been baiting the attack since he got off the mat. Walcott's hook is cut short by Marciano's. Timing? Placement? Set up? Who in the history of the punching art has ever put on a more perfect display? Patience, power, structure, everything is there.

The Suzie Q is the most gorgeous sequence in filmed boxing history. That is how a puncher turns boxing its head and lays a superior in every right boxer right the **** out. A massive set up. The set up.

You Mayweather haters are insane. Corrales went on to win several more fights at 130 after he lost to Floyd so don't use the weight as an excuse.
The guy was 33-0 with 30 knockouts and was the betting favorite to beat Floyd. But Floyd ended up dominating him.

You're ridiculous. Canelo became champ at 154 pounds by fighting a former welterweight at 150 in Matthew Hatton.
So don't say he was comprised at 152.
Canelo had a reputation for fighting smaller fighters at higher weights and it backfired when he fought Floyd.

I just gave you the real reason he "dominated" him. And...yes he DID win fights after he came out of prison against no-hopers at first.. But he was a junior middle, and took off a lot of weight and fought welter and after 4-5 fights back down to 130. He had lost most of his muscle in prison and with that bad diet,. so he could actually make the weight...for a few fights. Then he went up again. to light, had 4 fights then welter...finishing with a loss to Clotty. (in his 4rd fight against Casamayor for the light title he was 5 lbs overweight and couldn't take it off so it was cancelled.)

The guy had weight problems for about 3 years before prison, and they seemed to continue through his career. Nobody's fault, it happens.

Read what the highly respected author and boxing writer T.K. Stewart had to say about Corrales and the weigh-in for the Mayweather disgrace. He was there... Amongst other things, he wrote,, ON BOXINGSCENE.... "as soon as I saw him, skin grey, ribs sticking out all over, being helped to walk, leaning on the arm of a friend, I knew he had no chance.".... and MORE...!!

So shut op and don't bother me any more.

Yes a 5-4 "underdog. You call it a dominating performance. I say it should not be included in the list at all, (especially at the top) because of the disgraceful, crooked, truthfully obscene circumstances surrounding the whole fight. The question was about REAL fights. That's all, my opinion differs from yours, so why are you so ignorant as to foul-mouth me back. I don't discuss anything with ****** tongued low-lifers.

So do me a favour and just bugger off.

[Toffee]

Really hard to establish criteria for this. But with any possible criteria I think I would still go for Buster Douglas.

He beat a supposedly unbeatable, long reigning current champion and future Hall of Famer. He did it as a huge underdog. And he did it in brilliant, dominant fashion.

And it wasn't the end of Tyson. He was good enough to become a two time champion and unify belts again, even after a prison stretch. So you can say his decline had started (before his prime years) but he was easily a very elite fighter.

He also did it in the only open division. No limits, no games over weight. Just comprehensively beating the guy who was the best in the world at that time.

I'm not sure anything competes with that performance.
