What moments in boxing that you witnessed live (on TV or in-person) will you remember DECADES from now and still talk about in the future? Or moments in boxing that shocked you while you were watching?

For me (off the top of my head):

-Holyfield knocking Tyson out was something I didn't realize how big it actually was until I REALLY became a boxing fan and remembered me actually seeing that fight.

-Pacquiao dominating Barrera in their first fight. I remember cheering for Manny while actually not believing he was going to win. Proved me wrong.

-Hatton bumping his head on the ringpost. I was actually pulling for Hatton against Mayweather but you couldn't help but laugh.

-Tarver's second round KO of Jones. I think it was somewhat of a lucky punch but I never thought Jones would get caught with one of those. Then Roy's next fight he gets knocked out cold by Johnson. I was sitting there thinking, "WOW! The end of an era..."

The back 2 back KO losses for Jones is one shocker I agree that will be remembered and talked about for decades to come

Steele stopping Chavez/Taylor 1 at 2:58 rd 12

Roy Jones knocking out Virgil Hill with a body shot that was ana wesome moment

How come no one mentioned the first Gatti Ward fight yet?

Oscar vs Quartey

[Andre]

Most of Mohammad Ali's moments in and out of the ring.

Fenech getting ripped off against Azuma when over seas;even though Azuma was doing it hard and would win any other day of their lives; it took alot out of the sport to be that blatent in the face of the world.

The beating and guts to stand up by a young Lester Ellis against the club brawler
Barry Michaels, Was ringside for that.

Kostya turning Zab into a puppet after all the mouthing off Zab did.

Tysons placement of fear into Gollata stuck with me.

Tysons downfall by Douglas (who wasnt only lucky to survive; but was blessed)

Mayorga taking Forrest to the cleaners.

Roy Jones timing.

Nassems unorthodox moves that brought massive power into his ko's.

Mosley when he is in the zone.

Marquez Pacman #1 and 2.

Ward /Gatti

Barrera /Morralles, that'll do ,

[Wright]

Probably the fight between Pat Cowdell and Azumah Nelson. Knew little about Nelson as I was only about 12, but Cowdell was from just up the road from me so I supported him. Cowdell was a very good boxer, but he fought a legend of the division that night, and a freakish puncher. It was memorable because it made me realise that no matter how much I supported somebody, it made no difference to the result.

Yes, that one works for me too. A very Interesting fight, it wasn't the most action packed, but it was filled with tension, for me anyways. I kept waiting for the moment when Trinidad would start unloading his bombs, but it never happened. Completely and totally outfoxed by the "bad guy" Hopkins.
