    One of if not the most underrated fight.

      He paid the consequences by having a point deducted. I actually respect what Corrales did; showed how much heart he had and what extent he'd go to, to win.

          i would not pick any of those fights listed in my personal Top 5 of the last decade.

          1/. Sithchatchawal v Monshipour
          2/. Cotto vs Margarito
          3/. Vitali vs Lewis
          4/. Pacquiao vs Morales (2)
          5/. Mosley vs Margarito

            ... and this one as well, best sums up my thoughts.

            I have to be honest, Yahoo's boxing coverage is borderline embarrassing. Kevin Iole's last true contribution to the sport was being the guy who had the 411 on Mayweather-Marquez buyrate.

              Not going to argue with Corrales vs. Castillo at all, but Vazquez vs. Marquez III was better than the first two and better than either Pacquiao vs. JMM fight.

                    Marquez vs Pac shouldn't be top 5 IMO.

                      The list seems to favor trilogies and rematches.
