Simple. Post a fighter, and in your honest opinion, write down their last great fight.

I'll start....

Ezzard Charles, Rocky Marciano rematch

Wilfredo Gomez, vs Lupe Pintor

Lennox Lewis. Mike Tyson.

Roberto Duran. Iran Barkley

I thought Duran fought brilliantly in the first Camacho fight.

You could say beating Castro was special given his age, but for me, the last time the old, snarling Duran ever appeared was against Barkley. After that it was never the same.

He had several solid showings, he was just trim and quick against Hector and he fought an excellent fight. I thought he clearly won. Probably the best action fight Camacho ever had.

Shane Mosley = KO9 Antonio Margarito
Evander Holyfield = Tech. W8 Hasim Rahman
Roy Jones Jr. = W12 Antonio Tarver (1st bout)

two british featherweights, two truly great performances

pat cowdell - (sal sanchez)
jim mcdonnell - (azumah nelson)

i salute you both

I agree with Gilgamesh on Shane Mosley's beating of Antonio Margarito. Everyone was writing a then 37 year old Mosley against Antonio Margarito who was meant to have been a monster until we found he was loading up his gloves.. And Mosley simple just out worked the larger and slower Margarito.

I went from betting on Shane and thinking it was going to be a close decision to demanding he was stopping Margarito the night before the fight. Score one for the Bourbon.

Emile Griffith in the Monzon rematch.

His last fight but what a win. Michael Carbajal V Jorge Arce

fast decline.

I disagree and I'll tell you why. His victory over John Ruiz was indeed the last time he was the "Super" Roy Jones who got easy victories over big name opponents. I consider Antonio Tarver a great performance because it was what people had clamored for all his career, what would Roy do when he was in tough? Well in the first fight he was able to dig down in the final two rounds and pull out a close fight. He had all he could handle that night and he still came out with the win, that's a great performance in my view.

Hilmer Kenty...........KO 4 over Ernesto Espana II

Did Benitez beat Duran after Hope? Didn't see fight but was wondering if he looked good

That was the best performance of Benitez career.

Hearns beating Virgil Hill was an amazing result.

X 2 Duran was top draw on the night

Erik Morales in losing a close decision to Marcos Maidana.

I also thought he put in a good showing in the first Garcia fight.

Tony Tubbs v Riddick Bowe :)

And the coward Bowe didn't even give him a rematch.
