    Marquez-Diaz 1 definitely
    Williams-Martinez 1

    Mayweather and Hatton was a great fight I thought, not for back and forth drama, but just great to watch

    Marquez/Diaz was arguably the best fight of the bunch, but I'm not sure if I'd call it an outright classic. I've seen many better. I suppose that would come close, though.

    Honestly, Cotto/Margarito was pretty huge when it happened, and there was a dramatic change-up about mid-way through, from Cotto out-boxing him clearly (as most assumed he would've) to Margarito slowly grinding him down and taking it all out of him in the latter rounds. This could be called a classic.

    I agree

    While there's a lot (all) good fights listed, Cotto-Margarito is the only one that feels like a classic.
