    Toney vs Mccallum 1,2 are about as good as it gets...

    I also liked the jmm vs barrera fight

      what are your thoughts on that jmm barrera fight? i thought marquez was clearly the better fighter. clear difference in class. barrera tried stealing the rounds at the end of each round. for me, it looked like marquez punched harder and marquez was closer to his absolute prime. marquez was pressing the fight.

        I thought barrera would have won it if the kd had been called correctly...
        Its a very close fight, and barrera was past prime but still a very top level fighter and was the 130 champ going into the contest...
        Both guys were very skilled and it was one of my favorite fights to watch especially early rounds when they both wouldnt let the other get the momentum..
        Underrated classic IMO, kinda gets lost in the shuffle of all the great fights between MAB, JMM, EM, MP

                You want to see tremendous skill, speed and good solid power on display?

                Watch Whitaker vs. McGirt I and II. Particularly I. Definitely exciting stuff.
