    Mostly agree.

    I think Matthysse-Provonikov was more brutal than Matthysse-Molina, though.

    I honestly admire your memory, guys, I have a really hard time remembering even the fights I watched last weekend, let alone the last 10 years.

    I will profit, and watch/rewatch some of them, thank you.

    Márquez vs el torito díaz happened less than 10 years ago? one of the best fights ever, btw.

    I think there was a lot of offensive skill in Canelo v GGG 2, but I wasn`t that entertained, you could tell there was not going to be a knockout and there weren`t any twist and turns,

    I would agree that it was the best middleweight fight of this decade, but only by default, there haven`t been many great middleweight fights this decade at all.

    Surely there's something better. Pavlik vs Martinez was fun to watch and significant at the time

    Solid list Chuck, although I disagree on several of them, I'll add mine on here later after I think on it for a while.

    Your cruiserweight pick of Huck vs Glowacki wasn't as good as Lebedev vs Jones or Afolabi vs Ramirez.

    And Pawel Wolak vs Delvin Rodriguez 1 was better than Lara vs Hurd for junior middleweight.

    Is this decade 2010-2019 or 2011-2020? If it's the former, then Juan Manuel Marquez vs Michael Katsidis was a better lightweight fight than Figueroa vs Arakawa.

    Monty Meza Clay vs Alan Herrera was maybe better than Matthysse vs Molina at junior welter.

    What the? How you gonna' put Gonzalez vs Rungvisai 2 up for superfly? That fight sucked! The first one was so much better and might not even be the best fight at super fly this decade. Hernan Marquez vs Luis Conception may be better.

    I like Gonzalez vs Estrada for light fly, but if 2010 is in then it's not as good as Ivan Calderon vs Giovanni Segura 1.
