    Most recent - Calzaghe VS Lacy (Lacy was actually favourite going into the fight so that gets extra points)
    Previous - Lewis VS Tyson (utterly brutal, complete domination)
    All time - Dempsey VS Willard (horrific - apparently after the bout Willard was heard repeatedly muttering to himself through what was left of his mouth something like - "I have a farm in Kansas & hunderd thousand dollars in the bank, I have a farm in Kansas & hunderd thousand dollars in the bank, I have a farm in Kansas & hunderd thousand dollars in the bank.....)

    Notable - Azumah Nelson VS Gabriel Ruelas (one of the most clinical beatdowns of all time - Nelson pretended to brawl initially, then clinically dissected Ruelas, dropping him with a perfect right, switching to the body when he got up & breaking his ribs on one side, then attacking the other side of the body, then switching to the head. Only lasted 2 or 3 rounds, but it was close to perfect, especially seeing how Nelson had lost to Ruelas the last time round).

      Tua v Ruiz: This was scarey, suprised Ruiz eventually got up from this

      Tua v Moorer: Moorer's been in some tough fights, but Tua's power was too much for him.

      Tyson v Holmes: Yes Holmes was past his prime, but he was definately still game. He was hitting Tyson with some good jabs, until Tyson went nuts and knocked him around the ring like a pit bull would do to a rag doll.

      (both) Rahman v Lewis: two brutal knock outs.

      Sanders v W. Klitschko: No one thought this fight would go this way. Sanders style just overwhelmed Klitschko who looked like a deer in head lights the whole match. Two of my favorite fighters, would love to see them square off again. And V. Klitschko really put a hurtin on Sanders in their match,showed's that Sanders' stamina was a weak spot.

        Was Quintana considered well known? Cause Cotto just BEAT the ever living daylights out of him, I mean OUCH I was in pain just watching that fight.

        What Mayweather did to Gatti, Baldomir, etc could count.

          Mayweather/Gatti more so than Mayweather/Baldomir. I thought Manny and Morales 2 was pretty bad, though I wouldn't say Manny vs. Barrera, cuz I don't think Manny was that well known then. Hell, I remember picking Barrera to win for that fight.

            Forgot Manny Morales 3, Never ever in my wildest imagination would I have ever thought that Morales would "give up". Pac Man just was too much for him.

              Mayweather Corrales is one of the biggest EVER.

              Corrales was favored to win that fight.

              EXCELLENT!
