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.

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.


(Made Hitler have a good sook) :cool:

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.

Ali v Fraiser 1
Ali v Foreman
Ray Leonard v Duran 2

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.

Foreman vs Moorer

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? ;D )
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 Mosley 1 (like him or not DLH was a pay for view gold mine)
DLH V Floyd
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. ;D 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.

I love Duran for that because it showed how intense a fighter he was and how he would not be all pals with Leonard, even after the fight when you are supposed to make up.
