The best all round boxing performance you have seen

[Cableaddict]

Maidana vs Broner.

The body work, the constant OH rights, the unrelenting "FU" come-forward aggression.....

Oh, the sweet sweet memories ......



(And can you BELIEVE that was seven years ago? )

One just came to mind, can't say with certainty that it's the best I have EVER seen but the Calzaghe performance vs Lacy was pretty terrific

Two I can think of that were definitely the most satisfying to watch for me personally.

Marco Antonio Barrera over Naseem Hamed (Hamhead to me) It was a perfectly executed boxing lesson that was put on one of the most unorthodox fighters to ever enter the ring and made his style look absolutely foolish.

The other one was more recent with Marcos Maidana beating Adrien Broner, or "About Bullshit" as I like to call him. Maidana put on a boxing clinic and shut up that arrogant asshole and left him looking like someone took his favorite toy right after getting it on Christmas morning when walking back to his dressing room.

Watched Lennox Lewis v Rahman II last night.

Against a dude who dealt him a KTFO, Lewis proceeded to jab the fuck out of his face and head, using some of the most powerful jabs I have ever seen.

Lewis wasn't swinging. He wasn't even aggressive. His chin was protected at all times, and he worked to get Rahman in range for punishment. He was totally controlled and clinical.

Within 4 rounds he had Rahman in all sorts of trouble. Cuts on the face, tormented by jabs, and then the combinations came out. Soon he's left Rahman unconscious on the canvas with a sweet one two combination shattering his jaw.

The ultimate boxing performance - disciplined, tactical, powerful and destructive. Utterly one sided ass beating from a master on a mission to set the fucking record straight on some trashtalking punk ass clown.

Given Lennox's carelessness in the first fight, that was one of the great, maybe the greatest, rematch fight victories I've seen.

Either that or you are like 110 years old and had tickets to the fight.

Klompton2 over on ESB probably has a copy.

Just waiting for the right moment to put it on the market.

Toney-Barkley comes to mind
Harold Johnson vs Doug Jones as well

Toney-Barkley is a great performance, but contrary to popular belief I reckon Toneys absolute complete performances were older and fatter, physically displeasing but his craft was mastered.

Floyd Mayweather was spectacular against Corrales, Gatti, and Marquez.

Marquez fight was abit meh, great performance but Floyd new what he was doing bringing Marquez up. I remember during the fight thinking Marquez would of been able to box with Floyd no worries if he was longer and faster.

Joe arguably has the most all round unwatchable style of all time.

 

[dominus]

It was far from pretty but Fury when he beat Wlad.

 

[hazza]

Clay-Liston
Tyson-Berbick
Tszyu-Gonzales
Barrera-Hamed

Just off the top of my head.

Joe arguably has the most all round unwatchable style of all time.

I use to cringe when he went into his "Slappy Calzaghe" mode and the ref's (in his country) would stop fights saying the opponent was taking too much punishment--------all shoe-shine arm punches with little power.......
