    Pac-Marquez II was a BETTER "Action" Fight than Pac-Marquez I...Barrera-Morales III was a Good Fight but NOT Worthy of this List...Gatti-Ward I was BETTER than Barrera-Morales III....

    N REED's Opinion, that Is...

    Gatti - Ward 1
    Corrales - Castillo 1
    Trinidad - Vargas
    Morales - Barrera 1
    R. Marquez - Vazquez 1
    Marquez - Pacquiao 1
    Toney - Jirov

    the last 3 are interchangable/not on the top of my mind right now...

    Somsak Sith v Frenchy La Rue is better than half of those.

    Sure.

    As anybody should understand, there is no way to define that one fight is objectively better than another but it is about preferences. To me the fact whether or not I care about the outcome is quite important in defining how strong the watching experience is
