    I don't think Cotto vs. Margarito is that great. Doesn't hold up to repeat viewings, it looks like a steam rolling after the first viewing. Where all the mystique of whether or not Margarito can take the punches is gone. All you see afterwards in the punishment cotto takes.

    You left out the Mosley-DLH fights, as well as DLH's fights with Sturm and Hopkins.

    Monshipour-Sithchatsawal was an awesome fight. There's no English language broadcast of it but who gives a ****? Epic fight.

    1. Erik Morales vs Marco Antonio Barrera I - Two elite ATG HOF's at their very best.
    2. Diego Corrales vs Jose Louis Castillo I - Unbelievable war. Ebb and flow.
    3. Israel Vasquez vs Rafael Marquez II - Best one of the trilogy. Epic third round.
    4. James Toney vs Jirov - Greatest cruiser weight fight since holyfield vs Qawi
    5. Israel Vasquez vs Rafael Marquez III - Another classic.
    6. Miguel Cotto vs Antonio Margarito - Significant fight, not tainted at all in my opinion.
    7. Felix Trinidad vs Fernando Vargas - A little to one-sided, but Vargas made a fight out of it
    8. Miguel Cotto vs Ricardo Torres - Probably the most underrated fight of the decade.
    9. Marco Antonio Barrera vs Erik Morales III - So much skill involved in this high action thriller.
    0. Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez II - a high skill level also, shifts in momentum until the final bell.

    Sitchatchawal-Monshipur was better, I mean at least IMO waaaaaaay better than some fights on your list, but if you include that and the Gatti-Ward rivalry, it's a quality list, man! :thumbsup

    Also, the more time passes, the more I feel Calzaghe-Kessler deserves to be up there with the best fights. If not top10 brawls, which is the list most people do, but top10 of action and skills combined, which tells the most about this sport, it has to be there, although I see most people disagree with me on that. Well, these lists are subjective anyway.
