[TintaBoricua]

Great atmosphere/Great back-and-forth fights:
Trinidad-Vargas (young, undefeated, proud, power-punching champions slugging it out)
Cotto-Margarito (dramatic fight with great action if you can overlook controversy)
Gómez-Pintor (two guys giving it their absolute all)
Gatti-Ward I (the best one in the trilogy)
Barrera-Morales I (the best one in the trilogy)
Pacquiao-Márquez I and II (tremendously technical and brutal)
Ali/Frazier I and III (can't decide which one was more dramatic)
Victor Ortiz-Marcos Maidana (up and down all night)

Honorable mentions:
Martínez-Williams I (Williams got more than he bargained for)
Juan Manuel Márquez-Juan Díaz I (the "Baby Bull" shows heart)
James Kirkland-Brian Vera (Kirkland throws everything and Vera...just...won't...stop)


Brutal beatdowns (horrifying to watch):
Pacquiao-Cotto (Dormammu: "Run! Ruuuuuuuuuuuun!")
Pacquiao-Margarito (The whole stadium was apparently oblivious to Margarito's grotesque face)
Pacquiao-Oscar de la Hoya (Pacquiao batters Oscar mercilessly and shocks the world)
Pacquiao-David Díaz (brutal ending and bloody)

"Where the hell did that come from?!":
Martínez-Williams II
Jones, Jr.- Tarver II
Pacquiao-Hatton
Hearns-Durán
Dmitry Pirog-Daniel Jacobs (meh?)


I can't think of anymore. I'm sleepy...
