    To avoid over-exageration or excessive downplaying of a fight I feel posters should try to bear this criteria in mind:

    A 1 star rating = a fight that you felt was as bad as Vlad Klitschko v Sultan Ibragimov

    A 10 star rating = a fight that you felt was as good as Diego Corrales v Jose Luis Castillo I

    Castillo-Casamayor

    Talk about a hard fight to score!!! I had it 6-5-1 (115-114) to JLC with the scores even going into the 12th.

    I'd rate it around a 5/6. Quite a scrappy fight with a lot of holding by Casamayor but it had it's moments.

    Hatton vs. Tszyu = 7/10 (for intensity, atmosphere, signifigance, rather than actual quality)

    Cotto vs. Gomez = 4/10 (Not a reflection on either figher, but this was a total mismatch, the wasn't even slightly competitive).

    Margarito vs. Cintron II = 7.5

    Hopkins-Taylor 1. Not the best fight ever, I'd give it 5.
