yea i heard a lot about rios v alvarado II i heard it was good but i never got the chance to watch it

my favorite kinda fights are the real competitive ones, the ones where u don't know who's winning and wouldn't be disappointed with a draw, but also has good steady action through out with both guys getting rocked at multiple times during the fight

i saw ppl mention danny garcia v amir khan, or alvarez v lopez....although they were entertaining, u knew who was winning and could guess who was likely to win

i could also see b-hop fights being up there just cuz he's almost 50, that in it of it self makes it a good fight

quick stunning KO's are always cool, like martinez v williams II, or more recent dawson v stevenson...but they don't last long enough, a really good fight needs to go at least 5 full rounds

thats y my top fav is rodriguez v wolak I, if u guys never watched it, watch it, it was a 10 rd fight on friday night fights, fits my criteria for a good fight perfect!

Martinez vs Paul Williams was so much fun. Brutal exchanges.

[EvilGenius]

Mitchelle vs Banks 2... GOAT.
Period

This fight alone takes the top 10 spots... Rest have no chance.

[b Murphington]

when did mitchel v banks rematch take place? it must have been recent cuz the first one is still fresh in my memory, and while that one didn't last that long, it was still pretty awesome, imma need to check that one out sometime

lol, kinda crazy, a high profile heavyweight fight being entertaining, i can't even remember the last time a heavyweight fight was profiled on HBO, must have been Haye v Wlad....and after that disaster HBO dropped Heavyweights completely
