    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

    Pac-Barrera and Barrera-Hamed should be there.

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

    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?

    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.
