    Was good, but I think the level of the fighters needs to be taken into account to produce a truely great fight. Still, that said, Cotto is definitely above the level of Ward and Gatti, and Torres perhaps level (time will tell). Was a very good fight. I thought this was still the worse fight of Cottos career from a technical standpoint. He got over confident in this one.

    Best post I have seen in a while. Great knowledge, applied well. Enjoyed watching all the fights mentioned immensely, although I seriously doubt I could have pulled out such an accurate list off the top of my head.

    Top pick also. Did you prefer the first or the second fight. Both were terrific IMO.

    Hasim Rahman v Mario Cawley

    A true barnburner

    Hasim has so much power the mere breeze from his punches floored Cawley 2 times in the second round. And how about that blistering jab that finished the show?

    Hands down best fight of the past 10:

    This gets my nod as well. For a few reasons, length of fight before the stoppage, the action up until that point, the drama from the mouthpiece, the words from Goosen to Diego after the second KD and then the huge comeback.

    Vasquez/Marquez 2 was good, but the drama wasn't there, and the end was good, but almost anti-climatic compared to the action in the ring, it needed one more comeback from Marquez to really be considered with Corrales/Castillo 1.

    I liked both of them. IMO the fights were equally the same, Tomasz winning both. I think overall, Tomasz did better the second fight, despite the Knock Down, imo he was controlling that round (1), but I scored that round 10-9 Briggs couse of the KO. Both were fantastic fights. :good
