    Voted the Lacy fight but I think it has to be the Kessler fight now that I think about it

    Theres been so many its hard to choose but my favourites two are -

    R Thornberry & T Pudwill

    Great victories

    Calzaghe beat Thornberry with a badly damaged hand and but on a virtuoso boxing performance.

    Against Pudwill Calzaghe blasted out Pudwill who had taken Ottke the distance

    Truly amazing performances

    Is there any other fight than Kessler to brag about?

    The poll looks desperate enough to have Manfredo Jr.

    :good Good one.
    Manfredo looked unlucky not to win Americas most prestigious boxing award called the "Contender series". Manfredo was a top 10 rated SMW with a big promise to do what no other American was capable of doing, but 3 rounds later, Manfredo was no different to other American SMWs that travelled to try and compete in the tough European market.
    In America, Manfrdo was a contender and top 10 world rated SMW, but had he competed in Europe, he wouldnt have even won a regional title.
    Still Manfredo went on to push Jeff Lacy one of the two best American SMWs of the decade.:good

    Manfredo felt Joe was getting old and was right to think he was on the slide, but still didnt know what he was up against.
    Manfredo may have been stopped since, but nobody has ever beat him so easily before or since

    Seriously, how did you know. I have only just done it :huh. Did you check my profile? The reason I ask is that I was trying to remove it from popping up all over the place

    Lacy for me, just because of the hype preceding the fight, Lacy being the unbeatable american e.t.c only to be schooled completely over 12 rounds, i'm almost glad his hands were shot as it meant the fight going the distance.

    Well man, you avatar is clear for all to see. Can you not see it or something? It's highly visible, didn't have to go on your profile, everyone can see it just from your posts on the forum.

    unbeatable American? that's hilarious because the betting odds going into that fight were damn near even.
