Originally posted by _original_ View PostLOL that's completely inaccurate, did you even watch boxing back then? At that time Berto was considered a top fighter with a lot of potential who was gearing up to face the likes of Mayweather, Mosley and Cotto (hence why Floyd was in attendance). Ortiz spoiled those plans though and he got the Floyd fight. Both guys are absolute shit now and both should consider retirement IMO.Originally posted by Akuza Da Root View PostWhat the hell are you talking about?
Both guys at the time, especially Berto was seen as elite at the welterweight division. Ortiz winning was a major upset..
Damn it's crazy how people just don't what they talking about but talking like they do.

Fight of the decade is
Jmm-manny 4
High stakes
Big rivalry
2 historically great fighters
Great action
Knock downs for each guy
Most dramatic ending
Nothing really even comes close to it IMO

It sure was an amazing and very highly entertaining fight and there's no doubt about that. But in my opinion for a fight to warrant fight of the decade honors, I believe the magnitude, the level of the two boxers fighting, and what's at stake would need to be much much higher. Great action fights happen all the time weather they are amateur fights or professional fights but the reason they don't get fight of the year or much less fight of the decade is because the caliber of fighters and the magnitude of these fights isn't there. Victor Ortiz and Andre Berto both had a great fight that night and they should both be proud of what they accomplished inside that ring.
