    This is just dumb to say... Calling a fight before it happens and using the words "no matter the outcome."

    What if the fight is stopped by an accidental head clash 90 seconds in?

    As of the moment, I think it has to be Bradley vs Ruslan with a strong honorable mention to Rios vs Alvarado II. Some potential fights that could possibly contend for the honor down the line, Garcia vs Matthysse, Bradley vs Marquez, Alvarado vs Ruslan, and Pacquiao vs Rios. But I think ultimately Bradley vs Ruslan will end up being the winner.

    I know this wouldn't happen because it's 2 eastern euro guys from cruiser but Wlodarczyk vs Chakhkiev was one hell of a fight!

    Is it ok to say Pac Juan 4...or will I be permabanned? Lots of action, high drama, topped off with a shocking ending.

    Floyd Cotto gets honorable mention, Cotto makes Floyd earn his paycheck in probably the most skillfull test and physically demanding fight Floyd has ever been in all in one. You maybe be able to argue someone has tested Floyd more skillfully or physically demanding but, no one compares to what Cotto did in both aspects simultaneously. A great balance of intellect and action seldom seen.
