      Let's see...

      Vazquez-Marquez I, II, III
      Barrera-Morales I, II, III
      Duran-Leonard I
      Hagler-Hearns
      Chavez-Taylor
      Cotto-Margarito
      Cotto-Mosley
      Mosley-De La Hoya
      Gatti-Ward I, III
      Bowe-Holyfield I, II
      Marquez-Diaz I
      Marquez-Barrera
      Barrera-McKinney
      Khan-Maidana

      There. 20 fights that are easily better than Kessler-Froch. I can keep going, too, if you'd like.
      U go to Uconn? Ever go to the boxing club?

        I did once this year. Honestly, I'm nowhere near in enough shape for it right now. I'm gonna run my winter-fat off and do it next year. Otherwise, I'm paying money to huff and puff my way through practice. If you got here and ever want to watch a fight, though, let me know.

          Kessler-Froch was way too sloppy and not anywhere near in the top 20 fights of the last 30 years. Good fight, nothing classic.

            Yeah I probable exaggerated a bit, but I still think it is terrible underrated. Best fight of the last 2 years IMO

              I thought it was brilliant but i cant make a case for top 20 man, theres just been too many fights that were that bit better. Still it was a good action fight, close as hell, the last round was a classic and the atmosphere looked out of this world.


              IMO the most under rated fight is Jamie Moore vs Ryan Rhodes from their War of The Roses fight in 09 - CLASSIC

                Gotta disagree there. Burns-Martinez, Khan-Maidana, Marquez-Katsidis, Segura-Calderon, Escalante-Roman, enjoyed all of them more than Kessler-Froch. I still haven't even seen Soto-Antillon.

                    The only fight of the past 2 years I would even consider is Rios vs Acosta

                      Most of those are generally regarded as truly great fights by anyone not mentally challenged. For an underrated great fight how about Ray Leonard Vs Wilfred Benitez as it seems to get overshadowed by the other Fab Four fights of the era?
