    Bernard Hopkins is the fighter of the decade so far.Sorry for the inexcusable omission of Pacquiao-Barrera on the original list.Honorable mentions Trinidad-Vargas,Margarito-Cotto,Barrera-Hamed,Morales-Pacquiao 1,Hatton-Tszyu,Vazquez-Marquez 2

    Hopkins-Winky could be put in those also. As could Calzaghe-Kessler.

    Hopkins defeating Tito is the biggest win of this decade IMO

    no way. Wright was fighting way above his best weight and still Hopkins didnt look very good in that fight.

    Kessler was a good win for Calzaghe but still doesnt deserve to be among the best wins of the decade.

    Nothing at all wrong with this list. I would have Jones-Ruiz higher, maybe #1 actually.

    What about Margarito over Cotto?

    hattons win over tszyu ranks higher for me. more of an underdog, higher ranked opponent .

    I agree, in most part with the list. One thing I noted, is the inclusion of Hopkins win over Pavlik. With all of the anti-Pavlik sentiment around here, for Hopkins win over Kelly to mean anything, Pavlik must be a formidible fighter.

    There was something wrong with it I left out Pacquiao-Barerra.And come to think of it Margarito-Cotto was slightly more impressive than Tito-Vargas,which I will remove from the list.
