    1. Morales-Barrera I (2000)
    2. Corrales-Castillo I (2005)
    3. Morales-Pacquiao I (2005)

    The rest dont matter, these 3 were the best but EM-MAB I stands alone as the greatest of the greatest IMO.

    :thumbsup

    I think that Pavlik TKO 7 Miranda was just as exciting and action packed as most of these fights... Pavlik TKO7 Taylor as well,

    It's pick em between Ward-Gatti 1 and Corrales-Castillo 1 but they are definitely the best two.

    Pavlik TKO7 slowed down a bit after the first three rounds if you'll remember deadly kayo though.Generally I prefer longer fights.

    no they arent.
    Corrales-Castillo should be one or two but no way should Ward-Gatti be ahead of Barrera-morales.

    also Cotto-Margo doesnt belong on that list.

    I think Both Vasquez fights could be higher. Their second fight is actually my favourite. Round 3 is unbelievable.

    My top fight in that time is Hopkins/Trinidad. One of the greatest performances of all time IMO by Hopkins. Displayed every skill imaginable in that fight. A true masterpiece. It was so good that the famous quote by Lampley, "What an awesome show, what a great, great fight" said by hiim at the start of HBO's programming was said in this fight.

    I simply cant make lists like this.... too many great fights... but ill try.




    Morales vs Pac 1
    MAB vs Morales 1
    Ward vs Gatti 1
    Corrales vs Castillo 1
    Trinidad vs Vargas
    Vasquez vs Marquez 3
    Margarito vs Cotto

    Just some that enter my mind.... for some reason i get 'writers block' when it comes to lists like these....


    And will people please quit acting like this is some concrete list here? lol... its 100% subjective... if someone wants to put Pavlik vs Taylor in there, Cotto vs Marg, ect, ect, then they can... being the BEST fight is totally up to the beholder, there is no criteria.

    That's one of the greatest battles i've ever seen. That fight left me grasping as i couldn't believe the action.
