The kind of fight where the vanquished never asks for a rematch.
It's important to consider the caliber of the opponent too regarding the perfect performance.
Mayweather vs gatti
Mayweather vs Corrales is the greatest boxing performance I've ever seen, when you take into account the quality of Corrales.
The effortless shift from airtight defense to blistering offense, the foot movement and ring generalship, it's just incredible.
For my money, that's the best flawless victory of all time.
Corrales was the #1 in the division and a top p4p guy, and he didn't win 10 seconds of that fight.
I'll repeat: It's important to consider the caliber of opponent regarding the perfect performance.Quote:

Michael Nunn (Challenger) vs Frank Tate (Middleweight Champ).
Mike Tyson vs Michael Spinks.
You guys mentioned the two I was going to mention- Jones vs Hall and Mayweather vs Gatti.
I don't know if you can say Lewis vs Tua. It was boring, but there was no other way one can win that fight.
Winky Wright vs Trinidad
Yea no doubt the corrales fight was a cracker but gatti was a solid opponentQuote:

Yes I have to say I enjoyed one of my favorite fighters win as an underdog , James Buddy McGirt v Simon Brown , classic boxing master class
That's true. People forget that Gatti was very highly ranked at the time.Quote:

no.Quote:

Not all flawless but...
Rigo/Donaire
Arguello/Watt
Jones/Toney
Cal/Lacy
Hop/Tito as much as it pains me.
Whitaker/Chavez
Conn/Louis until that moment.
Douglas/Tyson
Nelson v Fenech 2. Maybe a Barrera v Hamed. Hearns v Hill. Tapia vs Danny Romero
It contained androstenedione so whats your point :confused:Quote:

Seriously fuck off gatti was a solid fighter and great to watch. He might not make it into peoples top pound for pound list but he had a good carrera and was involved in some of the best fights I've ever hand the pleasure of watching.Quote:

Point is you picked Jones and it was Hall with the over the top levels. In addition androstenedione is not an anabolic steroid and was added to the list of banned products long after Jones did it.Quote:

What about Jones v Hill and against Hopkins, also Sosa and Griffin 2, Thornton, Paz, Tate....the more I think about it the more I think Benn and Eubank were lucky they avoided him.
Yep, fantastic performances where top level talent were made to look like amateurs.Quote:

I had Hopkins winning 4 rounds vs Jones jr. Back then I was probally stoned out of my mind though ???
Mike Tyson Vs Marvis Frazier
Ah Jones was listed as giving a flawless victory in the original post, why point out Hall :confused: it is a steroid and he was caught with it in his system. The IBF had banned it at the time :pQuote:

Hearns v Shuler
Curry v McCrory
Calzaghe vs lacy I know lacy turned out to a bit of a hype job but going into the fight a lot of people though he was going to walk through calzaghe
I thought we were talking about fights that went the distance, or close to the distance, where the fight was pretty much over from round one?
I'd have to say Forrest vs. Mosely 1 was pretty much a whitewash. It was over from round one, Mosely never got into the fight. For 12 rounds it was downhill.
Calzaghe v Lacy:o
