What’s the Greatest Win in Boxing History?

[Denilson3.0]

How do you judge it ? Is it judged by what the fight means on world terms ? Or is it judged by how the fight win was achieved ?

If you judge it on world terms it's difficult to look past Duran-Leonard I. Two all-time greats at their respective best weights, but one guy was naturally bigger, faster and younger - yet it was the smaller, slower and older guy who won it.

People have said Douglas - Tyson, Honeyghan Vs Curry and Turpin Vs Robinson. But my question is were they at their best ? Robinson lost to Turpin in his last fight of his European tour were he had 7 fights in 3 months in 6 different European countries. Tyson was banging Asian hookers the night before Douglas and didn't train 100%. Don Curry kinda fell away after the Honeyghan loss. You could say Ali - Foreman and it's close but again Foreman kinda fell away after the fight only to come bk and infamously win the title in his forties.

The reason why I rate the Duran's win over Leonard so high is because you have to factor in that Leonard was unbeaten beforehand and the fight was sandwiched between Leonard stopping two unbeaten greats in Benitez and Hearns, and Leonard went on to beat another HOF (Hall of Famer) in Hagler and win the world title in 3 different weights (Welter, Middle, LHW) so to me ? There really isn't any angle from which Duran's win in Montreal looks anything less than stunning.

But if you judge it on how it was achieved.

Then Danny Williams vs Mark potter in a British and commonwealth title fight

Danny Williams in round 3 completely dislocated his right shoulder. The dislocation was as bad as you will see his right shoulder 3 inches below his left shoulder with Williams in visible pain. Anyone who has ever dislocated there shoulder will know its worse than virtually any break you can have and I have broken /toes/ankle/ribs/nose/arm/wrist/fingers

But biggest pain I ever had was a dislocated shoulder/ it brings tears to your eyes. It's a combination of this sensation of ripping and shock and horror at you being, well, assembled wrong and unable to do fuckall about it. Thank God for the Dilaudid drip they gave me before they reset it. You have 32 muscles attached to your shoulder and yet Williams fought totally one handed taken blow after blow refusing to quit desperate to win the title and in the 6th he lured potter in close and let rip with a huge left uppercut and kod potter and won the fight

[The Six Four]

Denilson3.0, I did mention to Master earlier that I was referring to wins over opponents at their absolute peak—at the top of their division or among the sport’s best. That’s why Ali over Foreman stands out for me, given how Foreman was viewed after dismantling Frazier and Norton. Duran over Leonard and Leonard over Hearns are right up there too. What Danny Williams did against Mark Potter was incredible, but it wasn’t at the elite level. Still, it absolutely belongs on a list of amazing performances.
