what? matthew macklin-jamie moore isn't even worthy of an honourable mention? what a joke. it was a nailed on top ten fight of the decade.

We did have some amazing fights in the noughties. From a British perspective I would say the best fight to take place over here was Brodie vs Chi I. It was an all out war from the opening to the final bell, which ended in a draw.

I totally agree with Diego Corrales vs JLC match. That 10th round was simply INSANE! Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to watch Sithchatchawal-Monshipour match.

Nice to see Augustus vs. Ward get some love!

No fight would beat the Corrales/Castillo for another 10 years.

Not a fan of the back end of the list. I think a few of the honorable mentions clearly belong in the top 10. But to each his own.

I think you at least mentioned all the ones that needed to be mentioned.

This is the part we really strove for.

The top 10 was based on votes from staff members offering their personal (those who elected to vote, anyway), not randomly selected. Of course, the list is still wide open to debate. Oddly enough, the 11 fights that comprise our Top 10 (plus 1) are the only ones to receive votes, which I found amazing since we voted for 10 fights each.

that's completely my fault. I had my honorable section list broken down into different sections: HBO, Showtime, US Next Tier (ESPN, Versus, Fox, etc), Latino Networks, Overseas fights... but the overseas fights part was listed last and got clipped, which explains why Moore-Macklin and a few others were accidentally left off.

Good choice for the number one spot. That was the best fight of the century.

Agreed. I love lists like this. Gets my blood pumping.

Man i prefered Morales-Barerra 1 to Castillo-Corrales....... anyone have similar sentiments?


Tbh, wat put me off a bit was that there was a bit too much fighting on the inside for my liking, but hey thats justs me. Still a great fight though.
