Yes, that's very interesting isn't it? (although Outboxer listed Mayweather-Judah. A less important fight but perhaps an ever better performance by the master of slick) I guess we all like to say we appreciate the sweet science, but deep down in our hearts, we just wanna' see a war!
Cool post man, and honest. Sums up my approach to this forum entirely. Not going to list 10 but I would recommend Benn*vs*McClellan‎. It had some tragic consequences but is a classic battle.
1. Gatti vs Ward 1 2. Morales vs Barrera 1 3. Corrales vs Castillo 4. Tyson Marquez vs Concepcion 1 5. Salido vs. Lopez 2 6. Hagler vs Herns 7. Pacquiao vs Marquez (any) 8. Pryor vs Arguello 9. Gomez vs Pintor 10. Rios vs Alvarado
Instead of 10 fights spend 10 days watching nothing but fights. Waaaaaay too many in our beloved craft to cut it to 10
A fight that is on a lot of lists and that is really amazing is Gomez-Pintor, similar fight is Pryor-Arguello. Chavez-Taylor is a great turnaround. I would add Ali-Frazier 3. The fab four important fight Leonard-Hearns 1, Duran-Leonard 1, Hagler-Hearns. Holyfield-Tyson is a personal favorite of mine Holy braking Tyson down mentally and physically. I'm not a big fan of the Gatti-Ward and Corales-Castillo fights but I understand why people love them. Sanchez-Nelson is a great fight too.

Yup even as a Pac fan, I see Mayweathers style and ability but I would rather see a war.. Benn Eubank 2, Benn G-man or any of the castillo Corrales fights or even the casamayor fights.. Then all Pac JMM fights have been good although 3 was bad judging.
