In that vain Benn v G Man was the same.

I was a huge G-Man fan at that time and was sure he would crush Benn before going on to destroy Roy Jones jr. I had people over for that fight and everyone thought I was crazy to think Gerald could beat Roy. In the first round, when Benn gets knocked through the ropes, I gloated and told all of them it was as good as over and Jones was next. Benn impressed and surprised me by surviving some hellacious punches/punishment, and then coming back to score the stoppage. Sad night in many ways, but inspiring to see another human being persevere and overcome adversity like that.

Even Foreman against Moorer, if you watch carefully Foreman was setting him up for a while and getting closer and closer when he did throw the right hand. Leonard hurt Hearns badly a while before the finish, and had totally changed the dynamic of the fight by that point, I don't think that one deserves a mention.

I'd have to watch it again, but seem to remember Gatti vs Ruelas would be up there?

Gatti Ruelas definitely was. That fight was the beginning of Gatti transforming from the solid boxer who out pointed Tracy Patterson to the legend boxing fans fell in love with. Gatti came to epitomize excitement in the ring.

I still would have Roy Jones winning against G Man.

Think you are correct about Roy and Gerald, BUT... Gerald's punch and speed could have easily scored the upset. More likely that G-Man's aggression walks him into a big left hook. Would've been the most exciting challenge for Roy at that point (IMO).

Not the most historical but definitely one of the more satisfying...Randall Bailey finally catching Mike Jones. Basically signaled the end of Jones career.

Yep. As a Bailey fan, I was rooting for him all fight, and was jumping up and down when he pulled it off!
