    Watching it on youtube right now and this is my personal favorite fight for a very long time. I can't think of many fights that combine so many exicting elements. Great Boxing, Great Brawling, Surprise, Controversy, Good Crowd, Good Announcing, Good Build Up, 2 prime guys, 2 guys COMPLETELY zoned in...

    This fight had it all.... what other fights can match this one?

    It was a good fight. Certainly better than that mayweather backpedaling **** I watched last weekend.

    I thought Garcia Matthyse would bring back memories of Cotto Margarito I.....boy was I wrong.

    Lots of fights better in that time span.

    I'll start by throwing out Segura vs. Calderon I.

    Marquez - Vazquez 1-4
    Floyd - ODLH
    Pac - JMM 1-4
    Pac - Morales 1-3

    those are to name a few far better than Cotto-Margarito 1

    Certainly one of 'em. I remember watching it on Setanta (now-defunct UK sport channel) and was on the edge of my seat from start to finish. Brutal.

    Lots of great, great fights in a 10-15 year period though.....

    far too many to list, but 15 yrs would include the likes of obvious choices (gatti v ward, barrera v morales, castillo v corales etc) and also the other contemporary classics such as marquez v diaz 1, trinidad v vargas, ward v burton and many more......

    But yeah, Cotto v Margarito is certainly up there with em.

    Pac - Morales 1 was a great fight, one of my favorites of the past 10 years.

    Great fight.

    How bout Campbell vs Diaz? :bbb

    More recently, Bradley vs Prodnikov was an epic brawl.
