    Unfortunately only one card:

    Floyd Mayweather KO4 Victor Ortiz
    Erik Morales RTD10 Pablo Cesar Cano
    Jessie Vargas SD10 Josesito Lopez
    Carson Jones RTD7 Said Ouali
    Adonis Stevenson KO1 Dion Savage
    Anthony Crolla SD8 Juan Montiel
    Marco Antonio Periban UD8 Dhafir Smith

    Turned out to be a hell of a card in retrospect... This was Erik Morales' last ever victory. Stevenson and Vargas obviously have gone on to win titles. Josesito and Carson Jones have been pretty notable since this (Sept. 2011). Periban is known while Crolla soon after won a UK/EU/something champion. And the main event was wild to be at.

    Monzon, Tyson and Duran stood out the most. I saw many others live, but they stood out. Most overrated was Ali, most underrated Vito Antuofermo.

    After Monzon, Tyson, and Duran, to make it five I will add Norton, and Antuofermo. Hagler was excellent all around fighter, Hearns and Tyson most destructive. If not for Hearns weak chin and stamina, he would be tops.
