    Hopkins must be up for the most mentions here.He was meant to be washed up going in with Trinidad.

    I expected a competitive fight but a clear 8-4 Pacquiao.
    Morales was amazing.
    Actually Ortiz should get a vote.

    True.
    Also, Hopkins/Tarver
    Holmes/Mercer
    Foreman/Moorer though he was outboxed until the KO.

    Marquez-Pacquaio 3.

    I expected an old great fighter to get dominated by a younger great one. IMO Marquez didnt exactly dominate Pac, but he did enough to win and surprised the hell out of me.
