    For any reason - Great show of skills, a gritty war, your favorite fighters crowning achievement etc. There is no real criteria other than it being your favorite fight of all time.

    Go! :good

    Bowe/Golota II. Even though my guy was getting it handed to him, he finally reminded us why he was a champion.

    Not the most artful fight, but Chacon-Limon IV embodies everything I appreciate about boxing. It's just spectacular.

    Possibly the greatest junior middle fight of all-time.

    Note the similarities between Gonzalez and late bantam\feather Jofre.It's like a spiritual recreation of Eder's great battles with Harada.Because Kudo is japanese like Harada.

    I´m watching here and definitely there are many similarities......the way he sets up his attacks continuously moving the body and head, jabbing....
    Jofre wasn´t fast, especially at FW...but man.. Gonzalez is very slow !

    I'm just bullshitting, vic.THough it is actually not too bad a fight once it gets going.

    Gonzalez is the same style of boxer-puncher as the older slower Jofre though, just..well, nowhere near as good.More Cotto level:yep
