    It's out of:
    Castillo/Corrales
    Barrera/Morales
    Gatti/Ward

    I voted Castillo/Corrales because of the last round. Mint.

    Morales Vs Barrera

    ive seen all the best Fights just like all of you and yet these two Battling each other just hasnt gotten old one bit, an absolute rollercoaster without question and the little dislike between the two ended up being a crazy rivalry...

    Ironicly thats something that sort of puts me off. Corrales cheated twice and got a fair amount of extra time to get rest and recover from being hurt. If not for him spitting the mouthpeice out Castillo could have gotten a stoppage. Although up to that point it had been a great fight.

    Yeah.....I think anyone who watched that live was at the edge of their seat hollering no matter who they were going for. From the opening bell to the final inconclusive ending, every shot had fight fans adrenaline pumping.

    I mean this was Lennox Lewis coming off his best win and Vitali Klitschko proving his heart and his chin and establishing himself as the heir apparent of the HW division.:bbb

    Can't believe Laikovich Brewster is up there.....2 Blevel guys not even top 10 for their peaks, but two top 10 ATGS, both top 10 for nearly their entire careers isn't. :huh

    Lewis vs Klitschko was an exciting fight but very sloppy. Brewster vs Liakhovic was a an amazing fight, both fighters got rocked and took bombs for 12 rounds. I'm not interested in how highly regarded the fighters were, the fight itself was amazing irrespective of the fighters status.

    What? You weren't on the edge of your seat when Vitali rocked Lewis in the opening round. Or even when he threw those 5 consecutive jabs even if they were arm punches?:huh

    And Lewis UC that wouldve decapitated most top HWs........that punch alone coulda made a classic fight.

    And the brutal bloody mess that became Vitali's face. Or the swollen cheeks and forehead of Lewis. The stoppage? The evt win for Vitali proving his heart. Lewis taking huge shots and proving his chin.

    Like I said......from bell to bell. Punch to punch. From the ring intro's to the inconclusive ending. FOTC for me.:deal

    It wasn't as great as these fights, there was a lot of holding in Lewis-Klitschko but in these fights it was all action all the way through.
