    And if so can you do them in order? Before every big Saturday night fight I try to get myself ten fights to watch before the fight, not with any relevance to the main event. And I've been try to nail down a top ten for a while but I find it nigh on impossible. Maybe I should start trimming my collection :think

    I know these threads have been done before but I'm curious as to what you knowledgable guys have as your top ten.

    Barrera vs Morales 1
    Gatti vs Ward 1
    Pintor vs Owen
    Benn vs McLellan
    Leonard vs Hearns 1
    Barrera vs Hamed
    Marquez vs Pacquiao
    Frietas vs Barrios
    De La Hoya vs Vargas
    Pryor vs Arguello

    Special mention to Gomez/Arthur

    They're my favourites off the top of my head. Not necessarily the best but they're my favourites

    Sorry these are not in order never noticed that. Barrera/Morales is my favourite mind

    Pintor/Gomez would probably make my top 10 if I were to do one

    I actually don't think I would be able to pick 10, let alone put them in any order!

    I'm gonna go watch De La Hoya Vs Vargas again. Never re-watched the fight since seeing it on first viewing.

    I'm going to try to make a list...it's gonna be very very hard....the quality of bouts will be all over gaff but i try put a list together.

    There's actually a good thread on this fight on the general forum. It is a gem of a fight. What a performance by DLH. That left hook :bbb

    Interesting. Not a competitive fight in my opinion. You pick this because Hamed got schooled?
