    Carl Froch against Kessler, his stock went up in my eyes after that loss.

    Katsidis is such a gutsy warrior, gracious in defeat and humble in victory.

    Margarito deserves respect for plodding into the meatgrinder against Manny when defeat seemed the only outcome but i just caint give the man an ounce of it, not after being caught with those wraps he shouldnt have even been in there.

    Matthew Macklin really got my respect after he went to war in a losing effort against Jamie Moore but to be honest ive since gone off him

      Marquez vs Pacman fights. I honestly don't know where Pac fans get the balls to reject a 3rd round fight or talk smack about him being "2 big now" when Marquez gave him the biggest beating he's ever took in his life. I think that just made Marquez better anyway.

      Any of the fights in the Barrera-Morales, Vasquez-Marquez, Gatti-Ward trilogies.

      Johnson vs Dawson 1. DAMN DAMN good fight!

          I look at it like this. Hagler was the ugly sister at that point. Leonard had all the extras. The fact that I thought Hagler won made me a fan for life. He should have been bitter because even SRL's wife told him he lost.

            I think exactly the same way but, I always thought I was the only one

            I would have reacted the exact same way.

                    Oh. You were testing my dedication. LOL. If it makes it any better I think I suffer from write to much **** syndrome too.

                      Foreman made me a slight fan after that but then blew it by bailing out in his next fight.

                      I think Merchante did a good job, top ref
