I enjoyed his first two fights against Chico(Diego was shot by the third fight), and his fights against Castillo, Campbell, Marquez and Peterson... the Frietas fight was tough to watch thoughComment

1. Katsidis (2008)
2. Corrales I (2003)
3. Marquez (2008)
4. Castillo (2004)
5. Freitas (2002)
6. Campbell (2003)
Unless I'm forgetting something major...Comment

I think the Corrales and Katsidis fights top the must-see list, but also catch him in action with Castillo, Marquez, Freitas and Nate Campbell. Avoid the Jose Santa Armando Cruz fight in 2007 which was a stinker on par with the Guerrero fight last weekend. He's an enigmatic fighter. Put a no-name fighter in front of him and he'll fight poorly. Put a top level guy in front of him and he's very good. You never really know which version of Casa will show up in any round of any fight.Comment

I have his career set. The fights that I feel he showed the most skill were his championship winning fight against Baek. Also his fight against Beasley was great to watch. He probably had one of the best straight lefts in the last 15 years.Comment

Kasiditis, Corrales 1, and Marquez off the top of my head. Big fan, gotta love crafty counter punchers that can go to war too.Comment

Casamayor's fights were always very strange, in that half the rounds were him doing a whole lot of nothing, and the crowd being bored to death, and then he would decide that he figured out range well enough to start opening up, and then the rest of the fight was a highlight of how skilled he was with his straight left.
The ones I personally enjoyed quite a bit were, Katsidis, Corrales I, Corrales III (don't judge me... not everyone likes this one), Castillo and Marquez.
I haven't seen some of his other big fights like Campbell or Kid Diamond.Comment
