Best Performance Great fighter at their Best
Just want to know what fight you would put into a time capsule to show a great fighter at the height of their powers.
I can remember Fenech V Vilisano at Featherweight and many others by Roy Jones JMM etc but for me it was Lionel Rose V Harada at bantam. It was a clinic and its on Youtube. Harada was on home soil and the undisputed champ. Great performance by Rose at his best

Re: Best Performance Great fighter at their Best
Hard to think of a better performance to watch by an Aussie than Rose against Harada.
A couple of Fammo's wins were pretty impressive too.
Carruthers vs Toweel was an interesting one. Yes, it was a one horse race, but taking into account it was a world title challenge away from home, it was a truly amazing performance.

Dave Sands outpointing Bobo Olson in Chicago on 3rd October 1951, shows just how good Dave was.
Re: Best Performance Great fighter at their Best
Take into account that Toweel took the belt from one of the greatest BWs in history up to that point of time. Yes Ortiz was an aging champion but it was still a very good effort from the South African.Like a Boss wrote: ↑03 Jan 2018, 20:34 Hard to think of a better performance to watch by an Aussie than Rose against Harada.

Rose's victory over Harada was brilliant. Unfortunately he was on the receiving end of one of the other best performances ive seen, at the hands Olivares. Lionel's issues are well documentented, but make no mistake Olivares was sublime in that bout.

Danny Green vs Paul Briggs. Took Green just 29 seconds to blast the Hurricane out of there.

Mexico had a habit of producing big punching bantamweights and Olivares, Pintor and Zarate come straight to mind.

Re: Best Performance Great fighter at their Best
I like the mention of the Green v Lucas fight. Sometimes overlooked but was a great effort.
Green v Beyer 1
Tszyu v Judah / Mitchell
Harding v Andries 1 & 3
Ndou v Rowsell or Ben Rabah
I suppose those mentioned above (except for Tszyu) weren't the most gifted fighters but in the bouts mentioned i thought they got the most out of what they had.

Re: Best Performance Great fighter at their Best
Johnny Famechon's KO in the 14th round of Fighting Harada, back on 6th January 1970 in tokyo, Japan for the WBC World Featherweight Championship was a terrific effort.
Fammo was ahead comfortably on two of the cards, and a point in front on the third, when the KO happened, with Fighting Harda knocked through the ropes to the dismay of the locals.

Yes, the fight against Lucas really showed the mental strength of Green, as he broke Lucas down.amwsnw wrote: ↑12 Feb 2018, 23:08 I like the mention of the Green v Lucas fight. Sometimes overlooked but was a great effort.

The first fight against Beyer was unreal. As much as I bag Green for other reasons, he was the most the scariest SMW on the planet going into that fight. An absolute beast.
