    The Best - Corrales v Castillo I

    The most satisfying - Marcos Maidana v Adrien Broner

    The Maidana v Broner fight was even more satisfying than the
    Mosely V Matorga fight. Broner is the only fighter in history
    that if something really bad happened to him in the ring.
    I maybe ok with it. And I've watched the sport for over 40yrs
    now.

    Tyson v Douglas.
    Everything about the fight, from Buster fighting like he did, the long count, Tyson trying to put his mouth piece in on the floor and the ramifications going forward.
    For people who were around at the time, they get it. Same as those around for Ali v Liston and Foreman.
    31 years gone and it's still strange to see that version of Tyson getting beat by Buster in Tokyo.

    And a near second for me is Holyfield v Bowe 1.
    Fantastic heavyweight title fight.

    It wasn't... but it was a very great fight and certainly a contender for the best one this century.

    Runner up in the most satisfying category: Shane Mosley v Antonio Margarito.

    Hey - it's not a crazy opinion to hold at all. I absolutely love that fight too!

    Most, if not all, of the usual suspects have been posted.
    Of those, I'd be hard-pushed to pick a favorite.
    That said, Vazquez vs. Marquez III has lived long in my memory for some reason.

    A couple I don't think have been mentioned, but could be candidates, are:

    Bradley vs. Provodnikov
    Sithchatchawal vs. Monshipour

    Think the whole Gatti vs Ward Trilogy defined boxing in the early part of the 21st century and not just the fights themselves but the story of their friendship and it’s tragic end
