    The Cotto / Torres fight was fantastic. Cotto had a lot of great fights, but that might be my favorite.

    I remember the commentators calling him a Puerto Rican Arturo Gatti afterwards.

    I agree Zarate-Zamora has to be out there too. Two undefeated power punching champions at their peaks clashing. Shame it´s not talked about
    much now.

    I remember Jim Lampley saying it was the 140 pound version of Foreman/Lyle.

    Mike McCallum (26-0) vs Julian Jackson (29-0) was a pretty good fight even though it only lasted 2 rounds.

    Both RJJ (26-0) and Toney (44-0-2) were unbeaten when they fought.

    Tucker vs Tyson is ok. Not super spectacular but watchable.

    My favorite fight of all-time. Love Tito, great fighter and wonderful human being I’m proud to call my friend.

    Reid and Tito wasn't a bad fight either between official unbeatens. It was a tense fight that Reid was winning until he got his jaw shattered at the end of one of those middle rounds.

    That was a great fight. Reid, when he was on, was a very capable fighter. I thought he was an excellent boxer and athlete. It’s a shame he never recovered from that fight and faded from the spotlight. I hope he’s doing well today.

    Carl Froch (23-0) vs Jean Pascal (21-0) was a great fight as well.

    Bump.

    Had to come back and rewatch Clifford Etienne (18-0) vs Lawrence Clay Bey (12-0) after being brought up in another thread. Such a damn good HW fight.
