    Lightbulb Greatest moments in boxing

    THE GREATEST ACHIEVEMENTS

    Without a second thought, the greatest achievement in boxing
    history the feat by HENRY ARMSTRONG of winning three titles in
    the space of 10 months.


    But there are many other great moments and achievements
    from heavyweights to flyweights. Likely, we could all list the
    top ten achievements. One example is FLOYD PATTERSON
    being the first heavyweight to regain a title. But, retiring
    undefeated like ROCKY MARCIANO deserves some
    consideration in the top ten great feats in boxing.
    BALANCE, LEVERAGE, ACCURACY, SPEED and TIMING - Effective punching.

    Max Schmeling / Joe Louis 1 and 2.

    No 1 was Fight of the year, when Louis lost in the 15th by tko

    No 2 billed as fight of the century, even if it did only last one round when Louis ko'd Max.

    Holyfield being dead tired in his third match with Bowe, right after an exhaustive fourth round COMING OUT IN THE 5th and BOOM a left hook from hell to knock big daddy Bowe down.

    I have no idea how much he had to dig down to get that punch going but thats as a rocky moment that I can recall.

    Yes maybe shocking more than great.

    I thought Leonard-Duran 1 was fantastic, though. It had such a huge buildup.... and back in those days it was mostly closed-circuit TV (damn that was a long time ago). And the fight was great. Hotly contested, although I didn't like Duran's blowing Leonard off after the fight.

    Off the top of my head and since I'm in a boxing talk mood:

    Johnson becomes the 1st Black Heavyweight champ
    Finito retires undefeated
    La Escopetas title reign
    Chico-Temible 1 (Have I ever mentioned I sat ringside for this? )
    Buster destroys the invincible Tyson
    Armstrongs title run
    Louis-Max 1 & 2 (US vs. Nazi Germany)
    JCC goes 89 fights without a loss
    Oscar becomes the 1st to capture 6 titles in 6 divisions
    Charlie Z turns pro

    I have a top 20

    Johnson V Jeffries
    Dempsey v Willard
    Louis v Schmeling 2
    Henry Armstong (3 titles in a year from Feather to Welter with wins over Ambers and Ross)
    Sugar Ray Robinson (career)
    Rocky Marciano (undefeated reign)
    Ali V Liston 1
    Ali V Frazier 1
    Ali V Foreman (Rumble In The Jungle)
    Ali V Frazier (Thrilla In Manila)
    Leonard V Duran 1 (the lighter weight guys make their mark as a major drawcard, we then get an enormous boxing golden age of the 80's)
    Sanchez V Gomez
    Pryor V Arguello 1
    Hagler V Hearns
    Hagler V Leonard
    Tyson (1986-1989 and V Douglas)

    DLH V Pacquiao

    Floyd V Pacquiao? (Boxing needs it more than ever)

    The perfect punch, that sweet left hook by the one and only Robinson in his rematch vs Fullmer.

    The most historically significant fight of all time. Louis vs. Schmeling II, to me, is the greatest fight of all time, just because of the background and the buildup.

    In my opinion, the second best punch ever thrown on camera. The first, of course, being the punch that knocked out Jersey Joe Walcott in the 13th round vs. Marciano.

    That punched snapped Jersey Joe's head back so viciously it was sickening, The reason I dont rank that higher is because he was old whereas Fullmer was a guy who won vs Robinson and he was still in his prime and never been KO'd

    The punch was that perfect Fullmer never even realised he lost as he was walked back to the dressing room.

    The beauty of it was that the fight was going to be stopped due to a cut Robinson suffered and he just asked for one round and god damn, that dude is number one for a reason. He delivers.
