    Good list.

    Still Trinidad-Mayorga over Cotoo-Margarito.

    All these fights were amazing!! But If I were to pick one, just one... it
    would have to be Corrales Castillo 1.

    This fight sticks out above the rest. Just a Rocky/Hollywood type ending that even the best filmmaker could not duplicate.

    Not bad list, but mine is as follows:

    1. Corrales-Castillo I
    2. Ward vs. Gatti I
    3. Morales vs. Barrera I
    4. Vazquez vs. Marquez III
    5. Vazquez vs. Marquez II
    6. Sitchatchawal-Monshipour
    7. Gatti vs. Ward III (this was also a very great fight, you shouldn't miss it)
    8. Pacquiao vs. Morales II (better than the first encounter IMO)
    9. Trinidad vs. Vargas
    10. Mosley vs. De La Hoya I

    Almost in top10: Morales vs. Pacquiao I, Morales vs. Barrera III, Marquez vs. Pacquiao I-II, Lewis vs. Klitschko.

    I would not put Trinidad-Mayorga there, because it was very one-sided. I put ther Mosley vs. De La Hoya I which was not only a war, but a fight of two very skilled and brilliant boxers.

    In conclusion, we had a nice decade, didn't we :)

    Good list Tito, but I'd probably swap 2 and 3.

    No love for Toney-Jirov?

    Not a bad list, although Margo-Cotto probably wouldn't be in my top 50, much less top 10. Probably not even the third best fight involving Cotto, IMO.

    Moore-Macklin might creep into the back of my top 10 as well. Closet classic that most non-brits didn't pay much attention to, but was easily the best UK fight of the decade.

    I am not seeing DLH-Vargas on anyones list? This was an amazing fight IMO. Not sure I can crunch 10 fights of the dacade into a list. Too many good ones to pick.
