Toney-McCallum 1 staredown is awesome.

 

McCallum-Curry.

 

Tito/Vargas

 

No one's gonna mention Tarver-Jones II?

 

Dishonorable mention:

Any De La Hoya staredown with a roof

 

Judah-Baldomir had some action in it

 

randall bailey vs ener julio

From about 4:07 of this clip. As soon as McCallum got in the ring, he looked deadly. Underrated staredown. Curry looked rather concerned whereas McCallum was the picture of cool, calm, and focused.

 

Hagler-Hearns

Foreman-Frazier

 

Tyson-McNeely was kinda memorable...especially from the view behind McNeely as he's rocking back and forth and you can see Tyson just standing there following him with his eyes.

 

RJJ vs Toney

 

that was a helluva a fight

This may not be boxing, but it deserves a mention.

Foreman vs Lyle. Erratic beat me to it.

 

I keep laughing my ass off when I think about the weigh in between James Toney and Dominic Guinn when Guinn blew a kiss at Toney at JT just stuck him with a right hand.:laughing::::atu:

I wish that video was still around.

 

You guys beat me to the punch with both Foreman-Frazier I, & Foreman-Lyle. In the case of the latter, it was Lyle who got right up into Foreman's face, & perhaps surprised him a little, too. I think right there, Lyle grabbed himself an early edge. There is a great moment in that fight at the end of round one, where Foreman is on the stool, having been rocked hard in the opening stanza, & he leans forward & gnashes his gumshield. I always thought he was conveying, "This could be tougher than I anticipated," with that searching look across the ring.

 

That's quite harsh. The man had the noblest of reasons for looking up, as I'm sure you're well aware of.

 

Relax, man.

Wasn't a critique on him as a person or as a fighter...just saying, staring down a ceiling isn't that dramatic.

 

De La Hoya broke the "stare up" pattern when he fought Vargas.
