    I've always enjoyed watching the Milan derbies since I was little (Channel 4's coverage on Serie A). I bet the San Siro is electric in those games, that is one match I'd love to visit and watch live

    Corrales v Castillo was the most frightening fight I ever saw.

    Corrales-Castillo 1, followed by Morales-Barrera 1.

    Gatti-Ward 1 & Trinidad-Vargas are up there too.

    Vitali - Lennox hands down

    Both big titams just fight each other without any great technique, tactics or defense. Just fight like real men do, not like bitches:yep

    I have a feeling that when the official vote is done... it will be between EM-MAB I & Cor-Cas I.

    Corrales-Castillo was a very good fight, quite brutal with a lot of action... but so was Morales-Barrera... the differences were that Corrales-Castillo had an amazing surreal ending & Morales-Barrera had the much higher technical skills & both men were superior p4p fighters to Cor & Cas in the primes of their life.

    In reality there was no real loser in either fight.

    My preference... & by some margin... is Morales beating Barrera, close fight, fair decision despite the Barrera cocksucking that regularly goes on with the commentators trying to give him every close rd as well as some Morales rds.


    Campeon v Campeon is not just the FOTD but the best fight Ive ever seen... period.

    :yep

    Great player, what a great through ball.

    As for the thread, I'd agree that Barrera-Morales I was the best fight of the past 10 years. Aside from Castillo-CorralesI also rate Morales-Pacquiao I, Marquez-Vasquez III very highly in terms of the decades best fights.

    terrific pass.

    Him and Batistuta at Fiorentina were one of my favorite football partnerships ever,Rui with the assists and Batigol with the goals,during that time Rui costa was considered the best number ten playing in italy(this was when Zidane was at juve)and Batistuta the best forward.

    For me it is Lewis vs Klitchko since I mostly watch the heavyweight division

    corrales-castillo I for me

    unbiased, tie with MAB-EM I

    I like Corrales-castillo I more because of the knockdowns and the TKO
