The Guardian (UK) newspaper had a superb article on the 5 greatest fights since the year 2000.





and here are the fights:

5) Akira Yaegashi vs Por n sawan Porpramook
4) Erik Morales v Marco Antonio Barrera I
3) Israel Vázquez vs Rafael Márquez III
2) Micky Ward v Arturo Gatti I
1) Diego Corrales v José Luis Castillo I

what do you think?

(I can't post the direct URL link yet cos I don't have 15 posts yet but just go to today's Guardian website to the sport/boxing section.

Corrales vs Castillo shouldn't be #1. He should of gotten points taken off or disqualified for spitting out his mouthpiece on purpose.

Corrales vs Castillo shouldn't be #1. He should of gotten points taken off or disqualified for spitting out his mouthpiece on purpose.

If Corrales had points deducted, what difference would that have made? That was the best fight that I've ever seen.

May of changed his mind set but either way, it should of been penalized.

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.

Had a chance to go, but ended up studying for a test instead. Still my favorite fight of all time, to this day.

Khan vs Maidana deserves a mention for the high drama and violence on display. The fight deserved a rematch, maybe at 147 in the next year or 3, you never know.

[El-blanco]

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.

That fight was nuts. Also check out jirov vs julian letterlough and letterlough vs Julio Gonzalez. Insane fights.

Excellent list. Oscar vs vargas gets forgotten but that fight was insane, and I still can't believe the end result of the Angulo fight even though I've seen it fifty times. Ill add to that;

I like that list.
Morales v Barrera I, Vázquez vs Márquez III, Ward v Gatti I and Corrales vs Castillo I would all be in my top 5.

I'm pretty sure i have Yaegashi vs Porpramook on my computer, but have never got around to watching it.
