Re: Favorite fights of your favorite fighter
Mayweather vs. Genaro Hernandez (His coming out party, imo)
Mayweather vs. Gatti - Most people on this forum weren't following boxing back then, but for those that were, you guys (even the haters) remember that before Mayweather even signed that fight, tons of people were spouting shyt like "Mayweather doesn't want no part of Gatti... Gatti's got too much power, an iron chin, and the heart of a lion.... my boy Gatti is gonna fuck him up." :lolhaha: After the fight however, these same people turn around and say that Gatti was finished before the fight:rolleyes: (Nevermind the great win streak entering that fight that Gatti had going.) Mayweather basically ruined him that night.
Mayweather vs. Hatton - All these clowns that said that Mayweather ducked Hatton got silenced in a real big way. Then these same clowns turn around and say that "Hatton is not a natural welterweight, that's why he lost. If this fight had taken place at 140, then Hatton would have dominated him." Ummmmm......... in case you guys forgot, Mayweather started at SUPER FEATHERWEIGHT;)

Re: Favorite fights of your favorite fighter
You know, although Kats lost, his ability to take back the fight from Casa after all those first round knockdowns was spectacular...

The fact that Casamayor was able to snatch back the fight after falling behind was incredible. Especially at his age. And after taking brutal body shots. Most fighters his age would of quit. Just look at Rosendo Alvarez against Jorge Arce. Mark Johnson against Ivan Hernandez. Irene Pacheco against Jhonny Gonzalez. Castillo-Hatton. All old fighters that quit when they started getting hit to the body. Casamayor didn't. The man is a great fighter

Oh, absolutly... The best part was multiple times after Kats started to take control of the fight Casa would sit down on his stool at the end of the round with this "What the fuck" look on his face... just looking at his cornermen like "Jesus Christ!"
True though... He laid some hellacious shots to win that fight after taking a beating... He's got gas left.

ODLH vs Trinidad
Sure, most boxing experts and fans saw this as a controversial decision but still I think ODLH gave a boxing lesson using a sharp jap, laterl movement, combinations, speed, defense, cutting of the ring, uppercuts, hooks, straights, 1 - 2, body shots, and so on.

I thought he quit because he was being punched in the balls and it seemed like nobody noticed.

Even though he won you could see the writing on the wall for Tyson. In the short span of that fight he got cut over hiseyes. He had so much scar tissue there that it seemed like everyone who punched him cut him.

You are right nearly every fight at the end of his career he was getting cut and he certainly did not have the stamina to go more than 3 rounds at a high pace.
