    I agree, that's easily top five all time in my opinion, it's undoubtedly number 1 for this decade.

    This was a good fight, but it doesn't compare to Castillo-Corralles 1 or Gatti Ward 1!

    This isn't an All-time list. Reading is fundamental.

    Hagler-Hearns didn't take place in this decade. You can look it up.

    It was a TKO, not a decision.

    corrales vs castillo easily takes the cake for me, followed by marquez vs vazquez 3 and then gatti vs ward 1 and 2

    If Gatti/Ward I does not make my top 30 of all time, needless to say it has no say in being crowned the best fight of the decade either.

    Not our fault that you're ignorant (on both counts).

    Are you kidding me? So for you the fight of the decade is Barrera vs Morales cause it went to a decision win? Does Barrera and Morales have the same punching power that Corrales and Castillo brings? If not then i'm not surprise Barrera and Morales went to the distance 3 times.

    1. Corrales - castillo I
    2. Gatti - Ward I
    3. Vasquez - Marquez III
    4. Barrera - Morales I
    5. Not sure.

    A pretty good decade really but i dont see how barrera vs morales could be considered freatest fight of all time, no knockdowns for a start :). Fights where both guys hit the deck like corrales - castillo have the greatest drama. That said Arguello - Pryor has to be my ALL TIME NUMBER 1 with Benn - Mclellan a close second :D

    I swear i feel like people are overrating Gatti vs Ward 1. Ever since Gatti past away, many here saying Gatti vs Ward 1 was the best ever. Before Gatti pass away, nobody say Gatti vs Ward 1 was the best ever. Yes it sucks badly that Gatti died, but don't make Gatti feel better by saying stuff like that "Gatti vs Ward 1 is the greatest fight of all times".

    He asked why it wasn't unanimous, only a decision can be unanimous (or split or majority).

    And my list is at the top of the thread.
