    His fights with Marquez are my favourites of all time (bar the 4th).

    Could have been the best trilogy ever had they not had that last fight.

    Good post. Almost every other post suggested fighters from before 2005. The question is kind of who since Gatti retired is as dynamic and compelling as him. Of yours I wouldn't vote for Ioka though. Really good boxer, but a patient, pretty classic boxer. Doesn't have the dynamisn and spirit of Inoue.
