    I think its Marquez over Diaz. Margarito's style is tailor-made for Mosley. Shane did whatever he wanted in there. Pavlik had never fought a crafty technical fighter like Bernard. Bernard had better handspeed and had lateral movement and really didn't allow Pavlik to set anything up. He took away any offense Kelly had.

    Diaz appeared to have hurt Marquez in there fight and it was more competitive.

      Marquez had the toughest opponent infront of him, I don't care if Juan Diaz wasn't undefeated. Theirs clearly something wrong with Juan Diaz though, I notice every time he gets a cut in his eye he ends up losing those fights. Like he was beating both marquez and giving Nate Campbell hell before his cut. Then he just Idk,, something weird

        I considered Bhop and SSM live dogs and picked JMM to win, but I'd go wit SSM simply cuz he owned and KO'd a guy I thought couldn't be KO'd at 147.

          Actually, I thought the Cory Spinks win over Jermaine Taylor was very impressive!

            BHOP

            A 44 Year Old former Middleweight champ on the slope of his career beating the current reigning Middleweight champion is embarrassing fashion. A performance for the ages and one that will be talked about in the years to come.

                I picked JMM's comeback against Diaz
                Mosley went into the Margarito fight with a clear gameplan, to tie him up when he started to pressure and pulled it off perfectly
                BHop's performance was still brilliant even if Pavlik was a good matchup for him
                There's definitely valid arguments for each.

                  Hopkins' win over Pavlik is one of the greatest performances in the history of the sport. Watch the whole HBO broadcast and the countdown, it will remind you of the hype before and after the fight and what an outstanding achievement it was. People have short term memories

                    I have to go with bhop first and Marquez a close second. The Mosely fight was impressive to me but only because Margarito got knocked out. I expected a Mosely win in the end.
