    In recent years we have seen the new Golden Age in boxing. I highly doubt MMA will overtake Boxing in the pugilistic arena. Here are the golden fights for the Golden Age:

    1. Vasquez-Marquez 1 2 3
    2. Pacquiao-Morales 1 2
    3. Pacquiao-Marquez 2
    4. Taylor-Pavlik 1
    5. Cotto-Mosley
    6. Katsidis-Casamayor
    7. Corrales-Castillo
    8. Mayweather-Hatton
    9. Amonsot-Katsidis
    10. Cotto-Torres
    11. Arce-Hussein

    Feel free to add fights I've missed (many).

    Shouldn't Money - Hoya be in that list. Sure it wasn't exciting but it was the biggest fight in the history of boxing.

    no that would never happen unless the boxer managed to get a lucky punch in. in MMA they would just take it to the ground and stomp the boxer... and i like boxing alot more then MMA. but no MMA wont overtake boxing.

    Mayhar Monshipour v Somsak Sithchatchawal is a great and often forgot about fight(Ring magazine fight of the year 2006) .

    Pavlik v Miranda was a very good fight .

    Depending on how far back we're going:

    DLH/Mosley 1&2
    Taylor/Hopkins 1&2
    Peter/Toney
    Jones/Tarver 1,2,&3
    Calzaghe/Kessler
    Pavlik/Miranda
    Miranda/Abraham

    There are a lot of good fights to add to the list - including the up-and-coming fights.

    Hopkins/Calzaghe
    Mosley/Judah

    Taylor Hopkins 1 and 2 were snoozefests. It was a high-caliber match between two greats but the fight wasnt good enough.

    How can I forget Rahman-Maskaev. Rahman was OUT! out of the ring! :good
