    - Manny Pacquiao...was a relative unknown in 2000, and by the end of the decade most consider him a top 20 or so all time great. No fighter in the decade has accomplished so much in such a short amount of time.

    - Mickey Ward vs Arturo Gatti I...brutal brilliance

    - Manny Pacquiao KO 2 Ricky Hatton...so brutal, sudden, and unexpected.

    - Bernard Hopkins KO 12 Felix Trinidad...the biggest surprise was how thoroughly Hopkins beat Trinidad.

    - Roy Jones Jr...followed up being the fighter of the 90s to getting knocked out by guys like Glen Johnson and Danny Green...had he retired after the first Tarver fight, Jones would be a top 20 ATG.

    - Hopkins KO 9 De La Hoya...all that buildup for nothing. A boring fight that ended in a very suspect way. Oscar wasn't that hurt.

    - Oscar De La Hoya W 12 Felix Strum...highway robbery, pure and simple.

    Nice list. The KO of the decade could go a lot of ways (Darnell Wilson ko Nwodo is my favorite) but Pac/Hatton is legitimate too. Thanks for the food for thought.

    - PBF could be an ATG if he just would stop cherry picking fighters and challenge himself.
