A Decade of Boxing: 2001-2011

probably Pac vs Barrera 1 and RJJ becoming ordinary. an unmentioned one is Hopkins vs Pascal, i gave it to him 9 rounds to 3 and had him ahead on points pretty comfortably despite the knockdowns.

Lil-Lightsout Wrote:Rahman-Lewis. Just as far as skills go. The only reason Lewis lost because he was not prepared. Period. It was a still huge upset.

Jones-Tarver II was also a huge upset, especially how it unfolded. I will go to my grave saying Roy was going to put a horrific beating on Tarver that night. Tarver just landed that "lucky" left which ruined Roy.

Forrest-Mosley was no upset. Anyone who knew Forrest and his pedigree should have known he could beat Mosley. Mosley had the name and hype going in, Forrest was just unknown by many casuals. He beat Mosley twice as amateurs and was a undefeated beast as a welterweight. He just needed his shot.

Hopkins-Trinidad was no upset either. It's funny because the week of Pac-JMM III everybody at work was talking boxing. And 3 separate Puerto Ricans were talking to me about the Tito-Hops fight. ALL 3 of them does not understand why Trinidad did nothing against Hopkins and kind of think it was fixed to an extent. LOL. Still giving Hopkins no credit and not truly understanding boxing.

Well 10 % of HBO viewers thought Tito was winning the fight so what does that tell you? lol There are a few that were close but I loved MAB smoking Hamed! I guess RJJ VS Tarver 2!

Well, I rejoiced the most over Rahman starching Lewis. I mean, I exploded into a loud cheer. It was nuts.

I know what you mean but after seeing McCall do the same, I just wasn't too surprised...in fact Rheem vs Morales caught me way off guard.To me there is a big difference in getting stopped by one punch compared to getting your ass beat for 12 rounds!

Def true.

I guess I voted Mosley/Forrest because that second round was just an ass whuppin, man...and I wasn't expecting that.

I voted Mosley vs Margarito because it was a total shock to see the way Mosley beat him. That was his one great fight left moment.

nothing made me happier in the last 10years of boxing than watching Margarito get his face beat in. It was just deserving and doesn't happen enough in the sport
