Paulie Malignaggi vs Miguel Cotto

 

De La Hoya v Floyd Mayweather Jr.

 

Kessler/Andrade. Damn that guy took a beating, and kept on coming.[/quote]

My choice :good

 

Michael Jones v Jamie Moore 3,

Alex Stewart v George Foreman,

Lamar Murphy v Miguel angel Gonzalez,

Tony Tubbs v Riddick Bowe,

Paul Hodkinson v Villasana,

 

every great fight the loser put on a great effort.

 

Basically what Bladerunner just said, but there are more than that, imho.

Vargas vs DLH.
Hopkins vs Taylor.(dont think this goes into the category that Bladerunner stated).
DLH vs PBF.
Naz vs MAB.
Judah vs Cotto.
Mallinaggi vs Cotto.

 

Getting up after a series of knockdowns is always tough.

 

that fight was an awesome undercard to pac-morales 1, as much if not more drama and action as the main event.

how bout that first tarver-RJJ fight? RJJ was coming off one of his career highlights in the ruiz win, and was given a close competitive fight by tarver. it was also the first fight that fans saw roy in a vulnerable position for the first time in his career.

 

Gatti rarley does well in a fight, he just doesn't get knocked out.

 

sometimes he's just a human punching bag.

 

Jeff Lacy vs Calzaghe

 

You thought Miranda performed well that night?? That had to have been the worst showing of his LIFE. He had nothing that night, he basically let Kelly beat him up uncontested, barring a few unauthoritative winged shots here and there. It wasn't even a fight.

 

Luis Collazo x2 :good

 

The Ward fight he lost.
