Best Fight of the Decade

[D4thincarnation]

I’ve seen so many great fights over the years that they sometimes blur my recollection, but Pacquiao-Marquez IV is a great choice. It was a classic rivalry, with both fighters in trouble at different times during the fight. I’ll never forget that KO, or even where I was when I witnessed it. Stunning.

The knockdown in the 3rd was stunning enough.

Okolie vs Chamberlain

Some honorable mentions: Rios/Alvarado 1 and 2, Figueroa/Arakawa, Matthysse/Molina, Maidana vs. Soto Karass and Josesito Lopez. Can't forget Salido against Lopez 1&2 and Vargas. Froch/Groves 1 was great too as it made me realize how the UK had its own distinct atmosphere, how I wish Groves would've won. I'm sure I'm missing other fights.

All of my favorites from this decade are gone or soon will be retired: GGG, Kovalev, the Argentinian Musketeers (Maidana, Martinez, Matthysse), Rigo. IDK how Pac still has the motivation to keep going, but his career won't last much longer. I hope his career ends on a positive note.

You’ve got a good memory for these things, man. A lot of good fights, to be sure. Time waits for no one. Sad that a lot of these men will be done soon. Hopefully they’ll be replaced by worthy fighters.

At the beginning of this decade, I couldn't get enough of boxing. Now, I've gotten jaded. That isn't to say that there aren't compelling boxers and match-ups, but we can never get excited about any logical match-ups for fear that politics will get in the way. J-Rock vs. Hurd was one of those fights that rekindled my desire to watch boxing again, whereas Joshua vs. Wilder is one of those match-ups that illustrates the drama that suffocates boxing. At times, it feels like the bad outweighs the good.

So many careers have also ended this decade too, that would also be thread worthy.

Yeah, the knockout surpassed stunning.

Stunning is an understatement.
