    Agree with most, Cotto-Margarito seems like the only sure-fire classic in there, with Marquez-Diaz the other one most worthy, styles blended well for an all-action fight from start to finish

    All great fights but for me classic are Cotto-Margo and Marquez-Diaz. I've watched both multiple times :)

    I am surprised not a lot of people say Pavlik-Taylor, the drama in that fight was unreal. I remember watching that fight with a group of friends who don't know much boxing, and they were talking about how awesome the fight was for weeks on end. Pav and taylor are not as big today but back in 07 this was the best Middleweight fight to be made, and turned out the be awesome.

    Márquez vs Díaz I and Cotto vs Margarito I are classics. I haven't seen a couple of the fights listed.

    That's a great shout.It's the one fight from the last few years that really left me breathless.I admit I went in rooting for Margarito,I'm not going to lie,I honestly thought first few rounds Cotto was putting on a masterclass
    and anyone who says they knew Margarito was going to win before the sixth should bottle whatever they have.While there may have been better
    ding-dong battles,I really feel that was a true modern classic.A fight for the ages.
