[box03]

Tyson, he was most exciting fighter that ever lived. When he fought Spinks and knocked him out in the first round.

[kg0208]

Jones

And I like watching Jones vs Hill.

Jones neglected to USE fundementals and has very underrated technical ability. He has both even now, just won't allow himself to adapt to his diminshed athletic skills that so greatly enhanced those abilities for years. His placement of punches was one of his best skills...and this fight showed that.

[jimmie]

Jones Jr over James Toney
Barrera over Morales 3 or Hamed either one

Miguel Cotto v. Judah....he acerted himself as the man at 147...including PBF...maybe

Umm, Floyd beat Judah also, why does Cotto's win make him higher than Floyd...?

Cotto scores more knockouts than Floyd based on throwing punches with worse intentions, whereas Floyd is a boxer, so don't just say, "Cotto's win was more emphatic."

[Unchained]

Gatti-Ward. All of em, both my favorite fighters

Pavlik-Taylor, he, he, he

Great fights, love both those fights.:thumbsup

EM vs. Pacquiao I...gotta love that last round when EM turned southpaw

[Marnoff]

Mayweather vs. Ndou. Masterclass exhibition.

Hopkins vs. Jouvin Mercado. It was Hopkins' fifth professional fight, he took it on I believe four hours' notice, and it's just an awesome example of how when Hopkins was younger (though he hadn't yet reached his prime here) he could do everything in the ring. Countering, slipping, parrying, everything you expect to see in a complete fighter. Even the commentator states that Hopkins looks something like Sugar Ray Robinson in the fight.

Let this video just show people that Hopkins didn't always conserve his energy and hopefully it inspires some people to investigate his career further.

Mayweather vs Ndou was a blistering match. People talk about Ndou like he was some bum who wasn't ranked. He wasn't ranked at 135, but was ranked by both Ring and the WBC in the top 10 for 2 years at 130. He was a good fighter who ended up retiring due to injury and probably would have beaten many 135 fighters that night.

Exactly, it's just that Floyd was spot on that night and wanted to impress the crowd. From the opening bell he is countering with right hands over the jab and just doing everything he needs to do. Throwing great combinations and Ndou eventually just withers under the pressure. The final straight right hands that end it are just perfectly executed.

You should check out the link to the Hopkins fight also if you haven't seen the fight before as well.

Joe Calzaghe vs. Byron Mitchell.

Entertaining blowout with a little bit of drama, at least when it was live. Nearly takes the guy out in the first, granted you have a guy who's been competitive with the top of the division and defeat some and is just getting shredded to pieces. Round 2 starts and more of the same until Calzaghe walks into a perfect right hand and drops, up in 3 looks a bit shaken but then lets it all go throwing his hardest shots trading a little and Mitchell drops from a massive left. Mitchell gets up and Calzaghe finishes him for all intensive purposes.

It was like an adrenaline rush and he was quicker there than against Lacy, which of course is the signature performance, but a lot wilder due to that thrashing first round where he landed 50+ hard blows in close proximity.

[MSTR]

The Paz fight is one of my favorite to watch of all time. The taunting and the fight ending combo were just awesome.
The way that Roy OWNED Toney was unbelievable. The best fight I have ever seen, considering the opponent. Current Fighter: Cotto v Pinto was pretty exciting to watch IMO. I could pick a heap of Cotto fights actually. Mayweather vs Corrales was good also.

Off subject sorta, but how do you see Cotto handling Cintron or Williams?

[Orishaman]

Ok, the thread title: Greatest fight of your favorite boxer...well Cotto and beating Judah ...I was not comparing fights with PBF fight of Judah simply stated it that Cotto acerted himself.....:patsch

[Fab2333]

Another one I like is Floyd vs Gatti
And RJ vs Clinton Woods and Glen Kelly

ah man, I actually just watch RJ vs Clinton Woods again, and it got me mad all over again b/c RJ shoulda fought tarver be4 he went up in weight. If he woulda did that Rj coulda probably retired as the G.O.A.T. possibly

[Amsterdam]

Off subject sorta, but how do you see Cotto handling Cintron or Williams?

Williams gets KOed via bodywork. Cintron loses focus under the constant heat and gets stopped mid rounds, however, Cintron had a significant punchers chance in my opinion, Williams does not.

Williams doesn't seem to work with constant heat if it can catch up to him, Cotto is immensely more crafty and quicker than that overrated Margarito was.

[booradley]

From years back: Danny Lopez vs Mike Ayala; 14 and 1/2 rounds of blood, sweat and determination. Lopez reportedly threw over 1250 punches before he finally put the courageous Ayala down for good.

From awhile back: Cotto vs Malinaggi; Watching Paulie try so freaking hard to win a fight he was losing was pretty inspiring. Boxing could use a few more Paulies and Miguels!


From last week: Pavliks win over Taylor was a fantastic fight. Jermain fought his heart out, and Kelly still knocked him out. That was exactly what I was hoping for.

[MancMexican]

I remember Tyson/Spinks because I was only a kid at the time and my mom taped the fight for me and my brother and we watched it the next day. We were both well annoyed because we thought she'd only taped the highlights!!!

[Shake]

Brawl in Montreal.

[Marnoff]

Ok, the thread title: Greatest fight of your favorite boxer...well Cotto and beating Judah ...I was not comparing fights with PBF fight of Judah simply stated it that Cotto acerted himself.....:patsch

Right, but you digressed from the title of the thread by stating that Cotto became "the man" at 147lbs after beating Judah.

[Marnoff]

Williams gets KOed via bodywork. Cintron loses focus under the constant heat and gets stopped mid rounds, however, Cintron had a significant punchers chance in my opinion, Williams does not.

Williams doesn't seem to work with constant heat if it can catch up to him, Cotto is immensely more crafty and quicker than that overrated Margarito was.

Yep, people often pair Cotto and Margarito together as "tough fighters" in the Welterweight division, but this is a terrible mistake. Cotto actually has a shot against the best, whereas Margarito will get beaten every time he faces a good boxer. Against a guy who just throws lots of punches like Williams, Margarito should have been able to take the fight to him and prevent Williams from getting off so many shots. He couldn't though because of his limited skill set. Cotto will break Williams' body and stop the flow of punches.

[Marnoff]

I see some people have added Tyson vs. Spinks. I'd go with that one for myself also. People who say Tyson was mentally weak forget about nights like this. When the pressure was turned up and it mattered the most, Tyson came and went to war, scoring a brutal knockout.

[pipe wrenched]

Pavlik- Miranda. Hardly no one gave Pav a chance in hell leading up to the fight, hell he was hardly ever mentioned with all the attention the war of words between Miranda and Taylor was recieving. Pav was supposed to be a lamb for the slaughter to set up Miranda/Taylor, but Pav screwed those plans up in fine fashion.

Because he beat Judah? There are a lot better Welterweights out there.

I was there that night - unbelievable fight, incredible atmosphere - I remember the silence when Joe hit the deck.. it was "oh fuck!" - and then the response... incredible. I had to watch the fight at home several times to realise what had happened. This is my favourite Calzaghe fight by a long way.

It still didn't make him the top fighter in the division. Now if he beats Mosley that way, he would have a better argument.

I qualify my original statement at the end, when I mention PBF and said "maybe"...

[kg0208]

Yes, and I feel that even with the qualification, it isn't true. Beating a fighter that was already beaten by Baldomir and PBF shouldn't elevate Cotto to the top of the division, even potentially.

[McGrain]

Charley Burley's domination of the bigger Archie Moore is probably my man's greatest night.

No footage though :twisted:

We will find out soon enought don't we.....I will see your posting after the fights and see how you still won;t give prop's to Cotto after the Mosley fight....

[box03]

Charley Burley's domination of the bigger Archie Moore is probably my man's greatest night.

No footage though :twisted: I met his grandson a couple years ago where I live, he was unloading a truck for the company I use to work at. He told me his grandfather was always a very nice guy, and never seen him mad outside the ring.

Cool as it comes!

Did he look like Charley?

Burley ended up working trucks himself. And never once complained that i've heard.

Agreed :good

His fight with Clinton Woods was impressive to :yep

[Orishaman]

With all do respect to all of the RJJ fans..the only fight that I was legitimately impressed with Roy was Taver I fight, were he needed to layed it down to win on the last 2 rounds...
