Vitali v Lennox stands out for me as he was still well up for fighting while Lewis looked done slumped on his stool after that round and to me looked like he'd very nearly had enough.
Covered in claret with his eye nearly hanging out and still up for it.
;D
Last fight at Heavy that meant anything to me.:)

I duno why Vitali gets so much credit for his TKO loss to an out of condition, old Lewis
Even if he wasnt cut I think Vitali would have been knocked out in the 7th round cuz he was staggering around all over the place in the 6th whilst Lewis was getting stronger , finding his range and getting on top.

Bert Cooper against Evander.
How boxing history might have been changed that night coz cooper had EH on the ropes and in trouble.
I remember watching that fight as a kid,back in the days when being world heavy weight champion ment something.;D

I thought Bert Cooper could of finished Evander Holyfield right there and then, but two things come into play here. One the ref gave Evander Holyfield a count because only the ropes held him up, in some cases the ref may not have given a count but the rest certianly did help Holyfield.Quote:

Secondly Cooper i thought was very poor on his offense after the KD, he smothered his own punches and never really landed a good power punch after that. And that gave Holyfield the time he needed to recover then Holyfield almost knocks Coopers head off with a counter right hand, then a lovely uppercut. Great Heavyweight round possibly better than Bowe vs Holyfield 1 round 10, but i think Cooper vs Moorer round 1 was better than both of those rounds i just mentioned.
Taylor Pavlik 1
Wouldn't Taylor/Pavlik 2 be more appropriate? Taylor that was Taylor's best performance in a long time.Quote:

One of my all-time favorite fights. I think I like that one more than Gatti/Ward 1. Two of the judges were giving him home cooking for sure. Remember that thread a few weeks ago about worst ever scorecards 98-90 (Mike Nolan) for Ward was awful. 96-94 was the accurate one.Quote:

Lennox was fat out of shape and going on 39yo.
Lewis wasnt ducking him he just had enough of boxing, had Lewis trained hard even at 39yo he demolishes Vitali.
I give Kermit Cintron credit for his first loss to Margarito.....
Only because he had the balls to get in there again:D
Lamotta / Robinson ....all of the above
Meldrick Taylor vs. Julio C. Chavez I has to be up there ;D
Malinaggi against Cotto. Fucker has made a career off that loss.

Don't forget the split glove on Holyfield.He was smashing so many uppercuts home on Cooper in the 5th glove rips and both get a rest,Cooper spent in sitting on stool taking huge breaths.Cooper has always been so frustrating....he go's to hell & back with Ray Mercer and Michael Moorer in absolute wars but also go's out a bit passively against Carl William's,Foreman and Bowe......among others.Quote:
