    best fights of the last 3 years (up to 2005)

    i mean fights where the match up was good, competitive and because of that entertaining, we could include fights which were one sided beat downs ala pavlik and hopkins or calzaghe and lacey.

    but imo those sort of fights aren't quite as entertaining as when 2 evenly matched fighters get in the ring and slug it out. also see if you can limit it to top 3/4 fighters in the weight class - for instance you could have the battle of earl vs katsidis, but neither fighter was a top 3/4 lightweight.

    okay here goes:

    corrales - castillo

    marquez - vasquez

    marquez - pacquiao

    calzaghe - kessler

    marg - cotto

        hatton - tzyu and maybe paulie vs cotto would qualify.

        the 2 mayweather fights were pretty boring imo, mosley mayorga wasnt between 2 top contenders and calzaghe - lacy was too one sided.

          How can you not have Taylor- Pavlik 1 in there? Also Cotto-Margarito.

              Pavlik-Taylor I definitely has to be on there. Codrington-Bika was a fun one too.... Torres-Holt anyone?
