    Trinidad/Vargas mainly because of the national pride. I was a casual fan of Tito at the time, and this one just pushed that through the roof. The left hook that he landed 20 seconds into the fight changed Fernando's life.. I'll never forget him jumping on the ropes and raising his hand to the crowd after each knockdown.Although he fought hard all the way to until the end, he took a beating in this one. I can only imagine what would have happened had Tito not thrown a low blow after in trouble and being knocked down.

    This was a rough fight for both men.. "Puerto Rico stands atop the boxing world tonight".

    Rahman/Lewis II was another one.. Lewis came in 100% focused this time, and brutally knocked out his opponent, and won those titles back.

    Funny no mentions of Corrales/Castillo, Gatti/Ward, Marquez/Vasquez, ect. That's the human spirit **** of recent time.

    Whitaker-Chavez, best fight I ever seen in my life

    Mayweather-Hatton

    Hopkins-Trinidad

    I like to see Americans beat down foreigners in front of their countrymen.

    Truth too.

    While being put down twice. He knows to spit out his mouthpiece to get extra time, knew he would lose a point but gain near 30+ seconds of recovery.

    Big times smarts. It won him the fight.

    There have been many fights, but lately watching Sergio Martinez fight Paul Williams in William's own turf/venue with Williams' judges, commentators, referee, ring, gloves, Williams' promoter having full control, etc., was awesome! Martinez knew he had to knock Williams out to get the win, so he did! HBO's punch stats lied. Check it out.
