    5. Erik Morales III
    4. Johnny Tapia
    3. Naseem Hamed
    2. Erik Morales II
    1. Kennedy Mckinney


    With Kennedy & the new HBO BAD, this was his break out fight.
    He came out on fire. Yet somehow, McKinney fought his way back in. This was a brutal version of the sweet science. Both were accurate, but the hunger of that young MAB was off the charts.

    Easily my favorite, but Morales II, vindication. Hamed was a textbook performance with a pinch of anger. Luv that ramming of Hamed's head into the turnbuckle. I can't think of too many embarrasing moments for a fighter than the look of Naseem's face, knowing he was being outboxed, whooped and insulted.
    Loved it, but Kennedy fight is my fav.

    Best fights? Morales I & III, McKinney, Marquez and probably Hamed.

    Best wins/performances? Probably those but take out Marquez and maybe put in Agapito Sanchez.

    1-3 are the Morales fights.
    4 is Hamed
    5 is McKinney

    I'm talking about importance to his resume since the Hamed fight was hunt and peck.
