    I also love the Ruelas-Leija fight it wasnt as exciting as some of the others i mentioned but i was very impressed with Gabriel Ruelas in this fight he truly looked like a future all time great in this fight against a prime and very good Jesse J Leija(who also looked brilliant in beating Azumah Nelson the fight before).

    Im convincinced the Jimmy Garcia fight ruined Ruelas as he never again looked like the Dynamo who beat Leija. Ruelas looked like the second coming of a Young Duran in this fight.

    Going into that fight I was convinved Leija would beat Ruelas. Gabe was just so much stronger, though, it looked like a man whupping up on a little boy. The size and strength difference was enormous.

    This is hard, i will have them in no order. just my top 10.

    - Morales vs Pac 1
    - Ward vs Gatti 1
    - Fernando Vargas vs Tito
    - Fernando Vargas vs Hoya
    - Fernando Vargas vs Ike
    - Judah vs Spinks 2 (weird choice i know)
    - Cotto vs Mosley
    - Cotto vs Pinto
    - Morales vs Mab 1
    - Hagler vs Hearns


    wow this is impossible to do..... and im conflicted in two areas, not being able to name as many as id want, and at the same time knowing im forgetting ones that are no doubt in my top 10 :patsch

    oh well, this is my 10 for right now, it would probably change 100 times by tomorrow as i remember this fight or re-consider that one.
