    Corrales-Castillo I

    Vazquez-Marquez III is a close second, with Gatti-Ward I in third. Everything else is a ways back from those three for me.

    Morales-Barrera I.

    Not even the bogus decision Morales got could ruin such a great fight.

    All of those were good.

    I'll tell you the most over-rated fight of the decade instead:

    Sithchatchawal v. Monshipour

    It was shite. Almost zero skill involved. It was like watching a down syndrome dwarf arguing with a waiter in a carpark over whether the waiter had looked at the dwarf's girlfriend in a strange way or not. The waiter moves, the dwarf follows him like a love-struck beagle. Punch-punch-punch-punch-punch. The waiter moves again; the dwarf waddles after him ...

    I'll stop now.

    Morales-Barrera I.

    Good fight, perfect decision, hard to believe it's been 10 years already. Though the final 2 rounds of their trilogy actually surpassed the first fight for sheer violence, imo . That is how Boxing ought to be, no wonder we've lost so many fans, both among our ranks and potential, to MMA in this decade.

    For technical brilliance however, I'd point to Barrera Vs Hamed, unorthodox mouthy-southy slugger gets hammered by a gritty but brainy Mexi slugger turned tech. Did Marco ever finish Law School?

    ROTD (Raspberry...Decade) goes to Lewis Vs Tua. I've seen more violence on Youtube vid of a Mormon housewives coffee morning.

    There's a pretty good video by Gorilla Productions on this.

    He puts his top 5, but somehow leaves out Pacquiao/JMM, and places Gatti/Ward above Barrera/Morales. Apart from this, the video is pretty good :

    Bladerunner, that's an awsome avatar. Is that Rui Costa on the right?

    Its Matterazi and Rui Costa(one of my all time favs) during a Milan-Inter game that was interrupted cause of the crowd.

    Thought so. It looks like it was during the 04/05 season.
