What's the last performance of a great boxer that you were able to watch live?

All of these fight I attended in person.

I was ringside for Roy Jones vs James Toney discussing Roy's speed with Sugar Ray Leonard. I was there for Evander Holyfield vs Mike Tyson I. I have seen about a half dozen of DeLa Hoya's fights and was there for DeLa Hoya vs Pernell Whitaker, many of Tommy Hearns's fights, several of Eric Morales's fights and God knows how many others. I seen Hector Camacho Sr., Michael Moorer, Chrs Bryd, Cesar Soto, Wayne McCulloughs and even was there for Marco Antonio Barerra's fight with Nassem Hamid. I have seen Ricardo Lopez fight in person as well, and in truth have been blessed to have been at more fights than I can remember.

I watched Micky Ward defeat a 16-0 slugger named Alphonso Sachez which is the fight that began Ward's incredible run. The last truly "Great" performance I saw was when Andre Direll humiliated Arthur Abraham before being cheap shotted.

I watched Tyson hit Andrew Golata so hard the whole arena went silent. I listened to the drums keeping time to Ike Quartey's punches as he fougth DeLa Hoya and even seen Chisty Martin and Layla Ali fight.

The greatest of them all that I have seen was probably Tommy Hearns's last fight with Shannon Long, I and my son were sitting with Tommy's family at ringside the night he and his son Ronald headlined a boxing card, seeing an alltime great the caliber of Hearns's last fight was something of a historical high point, especially since his son was on the same card with him as a co-main event, I don't think any other father and son ever did that. Great exit for a truely historically great fighter.

Paul "The Punisher" Williams vs. Nobuhiro Ishida - February 18, 2012

Last time i payed to watch a fight Lewis vs Tyson after watching it I knew Tyson was done for sure but I had suspected it when he lost to Holyfield and bit Holyfields ear due to Holyfield ahead on pts and rocking Tyson on the second fight Tyson took a bite because he didnt want to get KOD again It seems some people like Lennox Lewis out here he didnt really impress me He would not lasted 5 round with Tyson when he was at his peak my opinion

David Haye was amazing against Klitschko. Some of the Manny Pacquaio performances during the 2000s were amazing. For one-sidedness: vs Hatton, vs DLH, vs Cotto. For pure action: all of them especially JMM and Morales.

Joe Calzaghe beating Hopkins and then Roy Jones

cassius clay. lightning fast.

Robert duran who fought toe to toe with a boxer whose name I forget in the 80s, someone out there will know whom I am talking about , man what a fight

Rocky 6....or was it 7?

on tv Rigodeux vs donaire ..at the show live ....i see lennox lewis vs jean chanet early in his carrer but to be honest lennox wasn't that impressive that night
