Cotto/Margarito I has to be in the top 5, tainted or not. It was an absolute war.

What? Not even top 10, that was not a fight it was survival.

Great list.

Corrales-Castillo is possibly my favourite fight of all time. Just terrific.

I also truly loved Jirov-Toney, but it rarely gets mentioned.

[El Gitano]

My list would be like this:

1. Morales/Barrera 1
2. Castillo/Corrales 1
3. Gatti/Ward 1
4. Marquez/Vasquez 3
5. Marquez/Diaz 1 or Bradley/Provodknikov

BTW, 2000-2009 ****s all over 2010-2014

TheGuardian is crap but that list is reasonable. Two of those are on my personal top 5 and I wouldn't tell anyone they're wrong for including the others.
