    Default 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.

    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

    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.

    Three or four knockdowns and the referee stepping in to stop the fight would have been a dominate performance like you are talking about.
    Floyd shut Manny down in almost every round and was dominate, but that's as far as most of us will go, in my opinion.

    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 Jr. vs. Toney springs to mind.

    Floyd won 116-112 in my opinion, never hurt or tried to finish his opponent.

    I will say that I had hoped for and expected a more competitive fight.

    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.

    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...
    They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

    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.

    I agree with all of you!
    Floyd was dominate, but absolutely not the most dominant performance in big fights.
    Fact! As Fenster would say. Lol
