Neither one of those are top five fights since 2000.

Arce-Hussein might make the top ten.

The rest forget about it.

Mitchell-Murray and Burns-Martinez are the usual overrated britt fights.

Great atmosphere the crowd goes wild everytime someone lands a punch.

Those things make for a good event but not a great fight.

I'm always skeptic everytime some brittish guy calls a brittish fight great.

Cause then when i go check the fight out usually its nothing special outside of the great atmosphere.

Not that theres no great brittish fights mind you there are many just telling what my experience has been when i check fights that the brits say were great.

 

Earl vs Katsidis was a great fight, but I agree Burns and Murray fights were merely top 10 of the year.

Whats the point if everyone names the same 7/8 fights as there top 5, Arce vs Hussey is an outstanding fight

 

:deal

 

Katsidis vs Amonsot
Cotto vs Torres
Maidana vs Ortiz
Calzaghe vs Lacy
Demarco vs Linares(not sure why I like this fight so much but just find it so watchable) edit-just remembered it was 2011

 

Look at this douche

 

Morales/Chi is nice, Dorin/Spadafora is another I haven't seen mentioned yet.

Can't believe Toney/Jirov only got one shout so far, **** that fight was amazing. War Toney.
