    Just asking the one fight that impressed or changed your mind about a boxer. Doesn't have to be a win but a fight that earnt your respect. Mine was Calzaghe when he beat Kessler.

    Cotto when he destroyed Quintana. Why? Because I picked Quintana to school him. I didn't think Cotto would be able to deal with Quintana's slickness, movement, and counterpunching.

    Pacquiao vs Marquez. Pacquiao showed much improvment skill wise. Didn't think he ever would.

    David Haye vs Mac. Wow, just.....wow.

    Mijares vs Arce - the first fight, where I saw Mijares in action.
    Barrera vs Hamed - Didn't know Barrera too well, and was rooting for him to take out Hamed - much to my surprise, MAC did awesomely well.
    Calzaghe vs Kessler - didn't expect Joe to be able to shut down Kessler the way he did.

    Probably many more... Will add, when my brain gets in gear.

    Watching Campbell systematically break down Diaz was impressive as hell...The guy is one of the best inside pressure fighters around

    Juan Manuel Marquez vs Manny Pacquiao II

    I finally understand why alot of people rank Marquez at even keel with Morales and Barrera, and some even above them.
