WOW MAY 7th castillo and corrales get my vote so far!!....what a fight....but i cant wait for wright and trinidad to fight....it is going to be a hard decision on this year...there are tons of great fights that are scheduled this year....what do you guys think>?
true, i do think the morales pacquiaou was between 2 top-notch A-level fighters and there was alot more drama and hype being played into it. i dont think arce VS hussein was all that good because it was a little one-sided with hussein being very passive hoping for arce's cut to get worse.
I consider a fight for fight of the year until I wait a while then watch it a couple more times. Pacman vs. Morales is easily better. Castillo vs Corrales doesn't even hold my attention when I watch it again. But it did have plenty of drama. Did you guys even see Morales take Pacmans best, then tell Pacman to come on, then throw a nice flurry on him? There was so much more skill, strategy and heart displayed in Pacman Morales than in C vs. C. They mostly just stood in close with eachother and threw a lot of punches(most of which they didn't even commit their bodies to anyway). All I'm saying is that everyone needs to watch that fight again after the hype about it dies down and then consider if it should be fight of the year.
haha nice pics man....the wright trini fight is going to be good but i think a better fight than that will be kostya and hatton
never can tell with boxing
I can't wait for the Trinidad Wright fight either because it's being built up so much and I can't wait to see if it'll live up to the hype, which most fights don't, so it'll be interesting but yeah castillo corralles definately fight of the year so far, because for one the fight was back and forth, nobody was kicking the others ass both were landing huge shots and the ending was just incredible, out of a book.
MY TOP 5 SO FAR in 2005
1. Diego Corrales vs. Jose Luis Castillo
2. Jorge Arce vs. Hussein Hussein
3. Oscar Larios vs. Wayne McCullough
4. Erik Morales vs. Manny Pacquiao
5. Calvin Brock vs. Jameel McCline
Castillo/Corrales could be the fight of the decade so far. There are alot of great fights coming up. I can't wait for Hopkins/Taylor, it won't have as much action as Castillo/ Corrales but I can't wait to see what kind of fight Taylor brings to Hopkins
