    for me, Pacquiao vs Marquez II was my favorite fight of the decade. I've been watching since 2001, but hardcore since 2004.

    I'm partial to Corrales vs Castillo I. That's the fight that made me a boxing fan.

    How about worst fight of the decade?! Ruiz-Rahman, Hatton-Urango or any Wlad Klitschko fight!

    Morales-Barrera is the best fight ever and by this logic it should also be number one this decade.

    Trinidad/Vargas wasn't that good.

    For me, it's either Pacqiuao/Morales I or Vazquez/Marquez III.
