    Morales - Barrera 1 By far the best fight of the decade

    I thought Rui Costa was the nuts, I was a big fan of Fiorentina when him and Batistuta were playing there. I remember when everyone else was talking about Ronaldo I was like 'Batigol'!

    Corrales vs Castillo for me.

    Amazing bout with one of the most spectacular endings to a fight you are ever likely to see.

    For me, Morales-Pacquiao I is on a par with Corrales-Castillo I which as great as it was was just about all infighting.

    The Morales v MAB/Pac fights had a wider variety of skills & just as much action or drama minus the crazy TKO ending.

    Morales-Barrera I was better than both tho.

    :lol::lol: - I may have over-sold it.

    In fairness, it wasn't a terrible fight; just that I'd heard from a lot of people that it was the greatest thing ever, and it wasn't.

    this might be why i don't rate the fight that highly. i heard soooo much about it and the last round and was completely underwhelmed by the finish. fight was good, very good but that last round didn't do anything for me. it's all subjective though
