Boxing Moments

when roy jones went up to heavyweight and won the title (a piece anyway). the first time in 102 years a former middleweight champ won the heavyweight championship.

yeah, a lot of people hate on him, myself included, but that was admirable. yeah he fought john ruiz, but still, he stepped up and fought a man 50 pounds heavier and gave him a lesson.

not only was it an accomplishment for roy jones but also for boxing. it brought a lot of much needed attention to the sport.

not 102 years
106 years

you're right it was 106 years the first time it happened. in 1897 fitzsimmons beat corbett. roy jones did it in 2003 making it 106 years since.

There are a handful of rounds from the Ward/Gatti trilogy that stand heads-and-shoulders above even other fight of the year candidates. I like to rewatch that trilogy; a friend made me a DVD.

springint down the road at 5 am in the morning shouting "world champ world champ unified world champ" when Lennox finally got the titles.

Danny williams beating mark potter one armed (he dislocated it in the fight). Closest thing to Rocky Ive ever seen .
Was screaming at the knockout for Danny, left uppercut did it, it had to be his left cos his right was dangling at his side useless.

Awesome heart.

that danny williams moment has to be recognised like JPW well done, forgot about that..

I am a naseem fan so the hype before his fights were special for me, it isnt really a moment, so sorry for saying this in this topic but the hype for barrera naz was the best i (personally) have felt

[chilly9876]

shamz its quite ironic what you said bout ali and naz,you enjoyed naz's first knockdown cos he has a big mouth. Naz had a very similar bravado to ali,both bigmouths,also you found it amazing how ali would say which round he'd knock the opponent out in and then would do it,you'll find that naz did that too

My greatest moment...probably when tyson beat bruno

[J !]

thanks mate no need for apologies, its all about what you experienced.

but it did make me laugh when Roach came out and said "Danny aint the bravest"


what a pratt. Probaly the bravest thing Ive seen in a boxing ring is williams battling for four rounds with a dislocated shoulder, which they popped back in 4 times, he did it 4 friggin times. It hurts man, I dislocated all my fingers at the same time on my right hand playing rugby and let me tell you it was ten times more painful than breakin my nose or collar bone.

how ironic that a twisted knee should be Roachs fighter's excuse on the night

When Pacquiao won over Barrera November, last year. I thought Pacquiao couldn't win over this talented Barrera, that's pretty amazing to me because no one ever believe he could do such a remarkable feat until the unpredictable happens! He didn't just win over Barrera, he demolished him! I like it best when Upset comes in boxing and Pacquiao has beaten Barrera here and make it one of the biggest upset in 2003!
