    i know morales-barrera 1 was the foty for 2000,but i think trinidad-vargas was better.remember 6 brutal knockdowns and don't give me that bull**** that it was too one-sided it was competitive until round 12 and what a dramatic ending to a great fight.morales-barrera 1 was a brutal slugfest with no knockdowns and a bad decision.

    This is a great question, and one I cant answer.

    Tito vs Vargas was more dramatic, with the early KD's and with Tito hitting the deck and coming back. Morales vs Barrera was a true war, high caliber boxing between two guys who really didn't like eachother.

    Draw all the way.

    I cant rate which one is better... they are both ATG fights to me, and both of have differant qualities in which i could rank them one depending on how i feel. Once you reach a certain level... things get a bit unseperable imo.

    Trinidad vs Vargas, because of the drama.

    Also, I remember the lead up to the fight was intense, the fight came with a lot of anticipation.

    Barrera vs Morales was a suprise to me, I didnt expect THAT kind of war.

    Barrera v Morales all the way! **** Tito v Vargas, that doesnt even compare to the passion, intensity and overall tenacity, and skill, shown between Eric and Marco. Yes I agree with ACB about this fight being a surprise, but its defo the fight of the year for 2000

    Its funny, for one reason or another I just didnt anticipate the Morales vs Barerra fight being what it was. I remember watching it and thinking "what is this!?"

    If I would have known it was going to be that kind of fight, I would have anticipated it for months and probably would have even more fond memories of it.

    And another thing, my heart was always with Barerra when he fought, and I was pissed about the decision in the first fight. Kind of put a damper on it for me.

    As a fight, Morales-Barrera was probably better.

    But I actually prefer Tito-Vargas because I'm not so interested in fights between two small guys.

    i wouldn't usually go down as low as flyweight for example but nonito donaire's knockout of darchinyan was mesmerizing.i was surprised with the bang donaire's punch made loudest i ever heard
