    Here are a list of fights that I'd say are better than Gatti vs Ward I

    Pacquiao vs Morales I & II
    Pacquiao vs Marquez I & II
    Marquez vs Diaz I (and probably II)
    Mosley vs Margarito
    Margarito vs Cotto
    Cotto vs Judah
    Barrera vs Morales I, II & III
    Hatton vs Tszyu
    Lewis vs Klitschko
    Vazquez vs Marquez I, II & III
    Castillo vs Corrales
    Williams vs Martinez
    Pavlik vs Taylor I
    DLH vs Vargas
    Trinidad vs Vargas
    Hopkins vs Trinidad

    I could go on..... and on......

    No Roy Jones Jr-Bernard Hopkins II? I'm pissed...

    I think Corrales-Castillo I would have been greater if the ref hadn't stopped the fight early iMO.

    Seems like you eather have something against that fight personally or just are severely underrating it. Lewis/Klit, Cotto/Judah, Hatton/Zoo, and Hopkins vs Tito arent even close to the fights Ward/Gatti was. The rest i could see someones argument for it but id still disagree but the others are reasonable.

    Nice effort!

    I wouldn't have Gatti-Ward I at #1 though, not at all. Marquez-Vasquez 3 would be my pick.

    Not so sure about Hatton-Tszyu, kind of an ugly fight.

    Otherwise perfect list.

    Good effort.

    Obviously, with lists like these no-one is going to agree with the exact order but you did a pretty good job.

    I would definitely have Moore-Macklin in there, that was incredible. I was never really a big fan of Hatton-Tszyu - too much wrestling and mauling for me. The atmosphere was special though.

    I dont agree with some things on that list but i applaud the effort you put in and overall i thinks its a good list,i know how hard it is to make a list like that for years i've been trying to come up with a list of the top 100 fights i've ever seen but i always quit midway through.

    I know that no one will agree but seeing Briggs come alive in round 12 against Liakovich was the ultimate ending to a fight that I have ever witnessed.
