    I am surprised more people do not mention Margarito/Cotto. I saw Varg did, no one else except me?

    Margarito vs Clottey also.

    I agree with Froch v Taylor
    And Pavlik v Taylor both times. Ithink JT should have gotten a draw at least in the 2nd fight.

    First one that came to mind and im surprise no one mentioned it was Hearns/Barkley both fights, Also Mosley /Cotto Robinson/Pender tiger jones Camacho/Haugen Mccellan/Benn Curry/Jacqueot Mcguigan/Pedroza. We all know Oscar was better than TIto,we arent blind that was just a robbery.

    Not Quintana vs. Williams, Quitana boxed beautifully from the outside, landing flush time and again. He was much much too small to stop Williams that night, had he been bigger with a bigger pop, he would've had Paul stretched out.
    Also, he disposed Pauls lack of adaptability and ineffectiveness digging in the trenches.

    I'd say Razor Ruddock losing to David Jaco was quite something.

    Man shut up about rubbermatch. Nobodyelse beside ******S LIKE YOU WANTED TO SEE WILLIAMS VS QUINTANA IN A RUBBERMATCH. Yes Williams did have an off night. He look out of shape in that fight and as someone mention before the Quintana fight, Williams didn't spar with any southpaws to prepare for Quintana. Now you tell me how in the world Williams can be focused and ready to fight Quintana if he didn't spar with a southpaw? Now you saying Quintana might have an off night too? Lol are you for real? Why would Quintana be dumb enough like Williams did in the first fight being overconfident? Quintana was still the underdog in that rematch so i doubt Quintana would be overconfident considering he wasn't the favorite to beat Williams again but if you want to be a jackass then go ahead.

    ^^^ Lol now you want to put "if" in your sentence about the first fight well then if Williams was throwing harder punches in the first fight like he did in the rematch, there wouldn't be any rematch at all cause Williams would have ko Quintana in the 1st fight.

    How about Holyfield vs Moorer in the first fight? Moorer won that fight but Holyfield was the better man/better fighter.

    Mosley over Margarito

    Margarito had a hard time making the 147 weight limit and was weight drained for that fight. If Rito was full strength hed be able to take Mosleys punches better and win.....I BELIEVE THATS WHY RITO'S TRAINERS FELT THEY HAD TO DO SOMETHING TO HELP THEIR FIGHTER GET A WIN(SO THEY USED THE PLASTER)
