    Froch-Pascal
    Macklin vs Moore

    Dunne-Cordoba deserves a 2nd mention, brilliant fight.

    I'm sure no-one will agree with me, I know it wasnt a level playing field but Mayweather-Marquez. Top P4P guy completely schooled & outclassed for every minute of every round.

    Mitchell vs johannson was one of the best domestic dust ups I've seen I think, if not the best.

    Loved Simpson vs Matthews a few months back also, but maybe that's because I was so glad to see Simpson win.

    Khan Maidana = best fight of the last couple of years IMO.

    Great shout, as is Johnson v Dawson I. That was a terrific fight that was somewhat forgotten over on these shores due to the horrendous Woods v Tarver contest.

    Canchila v Segura I was a fantastic fight, almost overshadowed the main event of Cotto v Margarito. The second one was pretty crazy too

    Daniel Estrada vs Angel Alirio Rivero was easily, and I mean easily, the best fight of 2010 for me, though I dont know of anybody else who's seen it. Apart from a somewhat controversial stoppage, that was an almost perfect fight, absolutely immense.

    It was on the Vazquez Jr. v Sonsona PPV broadcast apparently, and I know I watched that card for a fact as it had the Arroyo twins debut as well but I can't remember the fight at the moment.

    Maybe I just watched the Puerto Rico bit of it..:think
