    But what happens if you believe th millenium started in 2001 not 2000. 3 of those fights cant be on that list. Here is a revised list for those of that belief:

    Castillo V Corrales 1
    Vasquez V Marquez 3
    Morales V Pacman 1
    Marquez V Pacman 1
    MAB V Morales 3
    Margarito V Cotto
    Vasquez V Marquez 2
    Pavlik V Taylor
    De La Hoya V Vargas
    Marquez V Pacman 2

    1 - Vasquez Marquez III
    2 - Manny Pacquaio-Juan Manuel Marquez I
    3 - Marco Barrera-Erik Morales I
    4 - Miguel Cotto-Antonio Margarito
    5 - Vasquez-Marquez II



    There's a top 5 for ya. It gets a bit slippery for me after that.

    It doesn't matter a **** WHEN the century began.

    Regardless of significance, Ward-Gatti (i) was as good as ANY fight on your list and better than all but maybe Castillo-Corrles (1).

    Whisper it, but it probably wasn't conducted at the high level most of these other fights were. Still belongs on such a list though, and yours is a good one.

    Nah bro Im mex is just funny how most mexicans are brawlers and give the best fights against their own race. I think its because stylistically you have two forces meeting who normally dont fight going backwards. This produces some of the best fights

    Cannot leave out Kessler Calzaghe imo. that was sweet shizz. i could be persuaded to put it at 11th place, but no lower.
