top 10 fights of this decade

Julio Cesar Gonzalez vs. Julian Letterlough was better than De la Hoya-Vargas. It actually won ESPN Fight of the Year over Ward-Burton. I mean, you had Gonzalez falling flat on his back and his eyes rolling back, and getting up to win the fight on points. Both guys on the canvas and badly hurt.

 

That was a good one.

 

I have that FNF year in review special on tape and I'm about 90% sure they called Ward/Augustus the FOTY.

 

I'm pretty sure you're correct. I think the Gonzalez-Letterlough won fight of the year in some other place though.

 

Teddy at ringside had it one way and Max in the booth had it another way, if I remember correctly.

 

Thats the best heavyweight fight of the 00's by far.

 

Pretty much any Morales fight this decade has been better.

 

:dunno:

 

I disagree. 8Th spot is good enough for it.

 

No definitely not. Tito-Vargas was a high profile fight which involved plenty of skill, action, and drama, and it was between top fighters. Not bums like Ward, Augustus, and Gatti. Its no lower than 4th. Only fights which you can rank ahead of it is Corrales-Castillo, MAB-Morales, and Marquez-Vasquez.

 

The result was overshadowed by Tito's cheating

 

Well Corrales-Castillo involved cheating as well, by BOTH fighters!

 

True, that's why it is borderline top-10

 

who cares if they are bums or not, all their fights were better than Tito's destruction of Vargas.

 

You're retarded.

 

Did you enjoy Tyson-Holyfield II. It was also a dramatic, violent fight with little skill involved and rules not strictly followed.

 

I think I've watched Trinidad-Vargas more than any fight ever.

 

same here; very entertaining fight;

tito/reid was an under-rated fight too - 1st 7 rounds were very compelling with both guys visiting the canvas and reid arguably ahead on the cards.

 

Corrales-Castillo 1 is the greatest fight ever. Anybody who shits on that fight isn't a real fan of the sport.

 

Corrales-Castillo had a lot of skill involved.

It was a clinic on inside fighting between the two best lightweights in the world at the time.

 

or a troll. By his posting history, I'd go with troll.

 

Morales Pacman 1 is getting no love
Barrera Morales 3 as well

IPAD CASES

 

It was a good fight, Chicho just ruined it by cheating

 

Yes

Jones-Ruiz

It was a monumental event, in which Jones openly gave away 20+ pounds to fight a very difficult heavyweight beltholder. Jones made Ruiz look foolish start to finish, in an extreme display of skills. It was a very good fight to watch.

 

Don King got to pick the judges, and Murad Muhammad got to pick the referee.

 

So there is just one corret way to view boxing?

That's stupid. Different people get different things from looking boxing. I have rewatched Corrales-Castillo once, there are plenty of fights I enjoy more

 

Agreed. It wasn't even the best fight that year, let alone the best fight of all time.

 

what was the best fight that year?

 

Too many mojitos last night. Sith-Monshipour was in 2006. That fight was clearly better.
