    It was an awesome fight. I thought pavlik was gonna be KO in the 2nd round when he went down. I'm glad he recovered and stopped taylor.

    It was.

    Cotto vs Margo was also a modern day classic imo.

    I was just watching it now and I had only seen the highlight before.

    Both guys if they comeback I hope they do well. I think the Pavlik in this fight would have beaten martinez......maybe :)

    too right, but being a Cotto fan that fight I have only seen a few times, it hurts :)

    But I would also say Margo vs williams was a good fight also, non-stop action again, Margo's chin is granite

    no where as good as Cotto-Margarito or Calzaghe-Kessler imo

    however, it was a good fight

    Fair enough, although personally I would prefer Taylor -Froch to that.

    man!, I was out of my seat imploring Froch on, that was edge of your seat stuff, loved the finish and the commentary by Gus Johnson, brilliant :thumbsup

    Calzaghe - Kessler?

    Shouldn't be in the same sentence as Cotto - Margo.

    Yes.

    The best middleweight title fight since Castro-Jackson 1. In fact, you can argue it was better than that, since the fight was competitive throughout. Watching Castro-Jackson 1, you just think of most of it as an ass-kicking.
