Roy Jones vs. Bernard Hopkins 2010

Roy Jones, Jr. and Bernard Hopkins fought for the first time in 1993, in a relatively lightly contested bout. Jones won a unanimous decision, receiving the nod by a score of 116-112 on each of the three judge's cards. The first bout, fought in Washington, D.C., was fought before either man had reached the pugilistic heights he was to later attain. Shortly after beating Hopkins, Jones destroyed 168-pound champion James Toney, and later won a piece of the heavyweight title with a defeat of John Ruiz. Hopkins's rise to greatness was delayed somewhat, but he scored a career-defining victory when he knocked out Felix Trinidad in 2001, and followed that up with a knockout of Oscar de la Hoya in 2004]].

Sonny Liston

In Liston's career, he polished off 39 fights by knockout. Of those, eight ended in round one, including his debut, and the fight that was the pinnacle of his career.

When Liston stopped Floyd Patterson after just 2:05 of the first round in 1962 to claim the heavyweight championship of the world, the boxing world was stunned. Liston unleashed a barrage of shots to the champion, driving him into the ropes and then battering him to the canvas. Patterson was unable to beat the ten count back to his feet, and as quickly as it began, the fight was over.

Liston's ability to punch and counter punch were too much for Patterson, and the rematch a year later was no better for him, as he would survive just an additional four seconds. Every boxer has a weakness, a foil, and for Floyd Patterson, Sonny Liston was it. For that seventeen month span between September 1962 and February 1964 when he was dethroned, Liston was on top of the world.

"I’ve had my eye on the 300 mark for a while, and it’s a little milestone I want to achieve, but I don’t want to fight on. People keep saying to me that I’ll get a call in a few weeks’ time offering me a fight and I’ll say yes, but I mean it when I say this is it." -- BuckleyTimes Online: World's Worst Boxer Throws in Towel on Lucrative Career...
