    Greatest fight of the generation

    It may even be one of the greatest fights ever

    It's on the same level as Hagler-Hearns, if not, then better...

          Yup, in the middle of the 6th round, without absolutely no idea what the outcome was going to be, I starting thinking that it is going to take an incredible fight during the remaining of the year to top this one. I think that Hagler/Hearns is one of the best fights ever and this one tops it, IMHO. Not as intense as the first round of The War, but the sustained amount of traded bombs over the lenth of the fight ... wow.

          edit ... I got a little confused which of these threads I was reading ... either way though, fight of the year or one of the best of all time, it's the same to me with this fight.

              when people said pacquiao-morales was an early favorite for fight of the year, then they were just proven wrong... this fight is going to be hard to dethrone for the fight of the year plum... props to both fighters...

                  I dont think there was ever a fight that good

                  It was prolly better than Pryor-Arguello and Hagler-Hearns

                  It killed Gatti-Ward, Barrera-Morales, and Holyfield-Bowe...

                  JLC and Chico will be remembered forever....

                    Easily fight of the year. Chico-Castillo ranks right up there with the great fights of all time.

                      How you gonna say fight of the year when it's only May! I swear every time there's a decent fight people are claiming FOTY! FOTY! Give me a break. At least wait until November before you try and predict the future...7 months early is ******! Ruiz-Toney was better fight than this anyway!
