Has there ever been a more dominant performance ?
I talking about floyd and manny and them being the best two of there generation. It was a totally one sided event and I was wondering if there has ever been a more dominant performance ? It has to be two fighters that are the absolute best of there generation, I'm not talking about just two guys that are the best for a short period of time, like say Garcia and matthysse.
Re: Has there ever been a more dominant performance ?
To name a few,
Pea/Chavez
Hearns/Leonard until the bull kicked the door in
Cal/Lacy
Robinson/Armstrong
were all much more dominating really. This fight was more dry dominance;D

Calzaghe vs lacy is nowhere close to being the best two fighters of a generation I'm talking about super fights only

Hindsight did not appear in the question. It only became a non super fight after Joe throttled him. Then Jeff became a bum. Anyway I named a few and am not going to debate something else entirely.

Hearns/Duran... two ATG's and Hearns made him look like a journeyman set up for the kill.
Can't remember ever seeing one ATG dominate another ATG like that. If you didn't know who Duran was you'd question why they ever bothered to put him in there with Hearns.

Yeah to be honest I think Pea/Chavez is about equal in terms of dominance over a legit ATG.
I had Pea winning 9-3, same score I gave to Floyd over Pac.

Gerald McClellan vs Julian Jackson. That was unreal. Jackson still had a lot left in the tank at that time.
Winky Wright vs Sugar Shane.

Jones v Hopkins could be mentioned in hindsight.
Oscar v Chavez?

Good call on Toney/Jones. If you added it all up, I don't think Toney won 60 seconds of that fight.

Eric Morales v Manny Pacquiao.

Barrera Vs. Hamed. Giving away points for the sake of humiliating your opponent with a half nelson and ramming him into the corner pad. Epic...

The most dominant performance against an all-time great in his peak was Foreman's obliteration of Frazier in 1973. Granted, Ali was the best of that generation. But Frazier had beaten Ali and was undefeated (as was Foreman). And both fighters were in their red-hot primes. In contrast, PacMan is decidedly past his prime and Mayweaher is at the tail end of it.
