    You seriously must be new to boxing. All of those fights had at least good fight written all over them as soon as tehy got signed.

    Katsidis Casamayor i should have bet on i remember pretty insane odds on it. I knew Katsidis was tailor made for old Casa. I was called a hater for picking Casa to win that one.

    Morales-Pac I - Are you serious? Whens the last time those 2 were in a boring fight?
    Trinidad-Vargas - Both undefeated sluggers.
    Cotto-Margarito - Why am i even bothering replying to this....
    Martinez-Pwill- Once again i was called a hater for picking Martinez. I do talk alot of smack about PW but thats just because of his mouth. Also Martinez is so slick and very underrated before that fight.

    I think he's saying it because morales was so old. it was his swan song of a fight. you know how they say "every great champion has at least one great fight left"? Morales proved it :deal

    Damn why you hating on my post lol?!

    Casa-Katsidis - I was with casa all the way, but I didn't expect the fight to be that explosive.

    Morales was old. Everyone though Pacman was going to KO him. I was with Morales all the way. That night was beautiful. When Morales turned southpaw in the 12th round. OMG...one of my fav fights of all time.

    Tito-Vargas - I give you this one lol

    Cotto - martinez - This is my fav fight of all time. I don't think i will ever be emotionally attached to a fight like this again. I was super drunk and when Cotto took that knee damn....I actually started tearing up. Everyone at my house left early. Damn that night was ruined after that.

    Martinez-Pwill - Well **** Martinez came up on the map this banger.

    So I guess I'm judging by the environment, my feelings, an how the fight went. Memories.

    And to answer your question. I'm 22 I started watching boxing when I started fighting at 11 years old. I say for my age I'm doing pretty damn good.

    Yeah the same with me, I'll never forget the feeling I had in my stomach when that **** happened. It was as if I had just found out I had cancer or something, I wanted Cotto to win that fight so badly.

    gosh rogan vs skelton, that became an absolute barnstormer. jamie moore vs ryan rhodes as well, foty comtender when it was expected to be a walkover victory for moore.

    but most recently, alexander kotelnik, how that became an exciting fight ill never know.

    One of the last really good all action HW bouts... Lawrence Cley-Bey vs. Cliff Ettienne on the Lewis - Tua undercard. That fight stole the night.

    Martinez/Williams the most recent one that comes to mind.

    Im sure most thought this fight was going to be a walkthough for Williams and it looked like it when Martinez got KD. But when Martinez knocked Williams down thats when we all knew this was going to be a great fight.
