    5. Juan Manuel Marquez
    4. Shane Mosley

    10. Wladimir Klitschko
    9. Hatton
    8. Wright
    7. Marquez
    6. Mosley
    5. De la Hoya
    4. Hopkins
    3. Calzaghe
    2. Pacquiao
    1. Mayweather

    Lewis was primarily the 90's and doesn't need to be in a list for the 00's. Cotto could be in there, maybe Morrales as well.

    If Morales-Barrera I doesnt win fight of the decade I`ll personally shoot the ****wits that voted... Im sick of hearing Gatti-Ward I (badly overrated) or Corrales-Castillo I... bull****, EM-MAB I had much higher technique & just as much action + the rd of the yr... rd 5.

    I think its the best fight EVER, those morons better at least award it FOTD.

    Another thing.... if this is BEST fighter as opposed to GREATEST fighter then those that decided to number their picks & dont have Mayweather as no1 need to wake the **** up, seriously.

    You dont really NEED to view Pac v FMJ to learn this, surely.

    Very good fight (as were their first 2 fights also) but as above, the greater fighters with the higher technique (Erik & Marco) should get the vote, especially if it was just as action packed.
