    Pacquiao vs Morales 1. The twelfth is a greater right-hand leads than Round one of Foreman-Ali IMO. It has my favourite moment in post-fight.

    Larry: "But you really like to stand to-to-toe with him even if you thought you won the fight, didn't you?"

    Erik El Terrible Morales: "Did you like that?"

    No way to still my heart when he says that.

    I actually preferred Cotto-Torres out of the four.

    Alex Sanchez vs Nelson Dieppa 1 deserves more attention. An all-Puerto Rican war with a big finish, taking place just 4 months prior to the more famous Corrales vs Castillo. Somehow this fight was put under the radar but this fight is definitely one of the best fights of 2005 IMO.
