    No order

    1) Vargas vs. Trinidad (best pay-per-view fight of the decade)
    2) Castillo vs. Corralles I
    3) Vasquez vs. Marquez (any one really)
    4) Barerra vs. Morales I
    5) Pacquiao vs. Morales I

    Of course, Gatti vs. Ward could have been there but I'm only ranking fights between legitimate contenders. Anything to add.

    I'd also make a tactical top5, no order here:

    Calzaghe-Kessler - superb display of awkward vs. textbook boxing
    Marquez-Barrera - extremely deep fight in skills
    Barrera-Hamed - another techical gem
    Morales-Pacquiao - Erik boxed very very well
    Taylor-Wright - not FOTY stuff, but very good display of skills

    Agree with all the fights that have been posted, but I'd throw in Trinidad/Mayorga, although onesided, it was still VERY entertaining.

    More recent this decade but I loved both of these ones
