    I guess if watching boxers slap around punching bags is your thing, why not.

    Barrera totally outclassed Naseem, cirlcling away anti clockwise to avoid the left hand and throwing combinations to keep him off balance! The jab wasnt that big a weapon for him tbh cause they both fought pretty aggressivly!

    It's up there along with ...
    Toney/Jirov
    Barrera/Hamed
    Morales/Pacquiao 1

    ....stuff like that.

    I like how people now act like Tito never stood a chance though he almost made it 12 rounds with a prime Hopkins and was very brave throughout. I also like that people fail to acknowledge that Tito was on a roll(ko'ing Vargas & Joppy) and was seen by many to whip out Hopkins, Bhop was the underdog. It's amazing that Hopkins moved on to put other clinics in his older age on Taylor(1st fight only), Tarver, Pavlik, and recently Pascal.

    Winky vs. Tito was even better.

    Good choice. I would also offer up Hopkins vs Pavik, Mayweather vs Marquez and practically any fight featuring a prime Roy Jones Jr.

    This may not have been the best in the last decade, but definitely worth a mention... Mayweather vs. Gatti. That was brlliant.

    Agreed.

    He showed a little bit of everything in that fight. Not to mention, it was also a very entertaining fight. Hopkins took some very good shots from Tito.
