    Rigondeaux vs Donaire deserves a mention Rigondeaux put on a clinic against a prime ATG largely off being a southpaw and controlling his opponents lead hand.

    That was a weird fight. Winky won the majority of the rounds but he hit the deck four or five times. He was still developing but yes, he clearly lost that fight.

    It was a master's class. Winky wouldn't have beat Julio on his best day.

    We agree to disagree on this one. Winky wasn't quite in his prime yet and Julio was a huge jump up in class for him at that time. Prime for prime, Winky would win imo.

    Nunn vs. Tate. A performance so spellbinding that it carried Nunn into the hall of fame.

    I remember being awed with Sergio Martinez's performance against Sergiy Dzinziruk. He was already 36 years old and yet looked like he was in his prime where he knocked him down 5 times before stopping him.

    To be honest Sanders Wlad was a total demolition.

    And Wlad turned out to be pretty good at dealing with southpaws.
