Gatti vs Gamache (deary me...obliteration)

Old School
Alexis vs. Olivares - Picks up his 1st World title and is the begining of a new King for many years to come spectacular fight.
Alexis vs. Escalera I & II - Tough & rugged Alfredo just wouldn't give up and fought 2 of the best fights in his career.
Alexis vs. Mancini - What a masterful performance by Alexis breaking down Mancinin one round at a time
Alexis vs. Limon - The power of Alexis once again showed here as he beat Limon to force the stoppage.
Alexis vs. Castillo - Alexis fought his ass off, Castillo was very durable but in the end he prevailed.

Duran vs. SRL I - Could possibly be the most satisfying victory in boxing history for me. I love every second of it.
Duran vs. De Jesus II & III - Brutal fights all 3 actually but Duran showed in 2&3 why he is one of the greatest.
Duran vs. Barkley - Way past his best days he pulls a rabbit out of a hat in this one and beat the Blade. 8)
Duran vs. Hagler - What an effort by Duran here I mean he gave Hagler a damn! good fight and Duran thru all he could.
Duran vs. Kobayashi - Brilliant performance by a young Duran the combination that he land on Kobayashi was well thrown.



New School
Cotto vs. Bazan - Cotto picks up his 1st title here (not world) and puts on a very good performance against former world champ.
Cotto vs. Pinto - The distruction of an up and comer along with him, there was only room for 1 Cotto made sure it was him.
Cotto vs. Mohamad - Paybacks a bitch! that's all I will say.
Cotto vs. Torres - Slightly more exciting then the Zab fight, Torres threw caution to the wind and so did Cotto. We learned a lot on that night in Jersey about Cotto. What a fight.
Cotto vs. Paulie - The kid was way over his head here, but he wanted the fight so he got it. Cotto showed signs that he could box here.
Cotto vs. Zab - Right underneath Duran-SRL I for most satisfying win. I loved every second of it and watching Zab beat senseless was food for my soul.
Cotto vs. SSM - Beauty. Cotto shows that hes not one dimensional (for the idiots who said he was) and boxes well moving, jabbing and his footwork was really nice.

ODLH vs. Molina - The very rugged Molina gives ODLH one of his toughest fights early in his career but Oscar slips away with a UD. A lot people over look this fight in Oscars career not realizing that Molina was like on a 13 fight wining streak.
ODLH vs. Gonzalez - Oscar fights the then undefeated and very skilled 'Santa Tokyo' but Oscar was just a step ahead all the time.
ODLH vs. Whitaker - Glorious win for Oscar, he defeats one of the best P4P fighters of all time. Oscar showed class & skill.
ODLH vs. Ike - Quite possibly Oscars most exciting fight, overlooked. Oscar fought with heart and determanation. People who question him and his will have obviously forgotten this fight.
ODLH vs. SSM II - One of Oscars finest performances on skill, he lost but honestly when I heard the result I didn't bother me cause I knew Oscar had won.
ODLH vs. Vargas - Talk the talk but you gotta walk the walk..... An another bites the dust.
ODLH vs. Mayorga - Oscar comebacks and destroys the mouthy Mayorga with his trademark hook.

RJJ

I know it was a one-sided affair, but when he fought Bryant Brannon. That guy looked like a stud and came out at Roy like a hurricane. Roy relaxed on the ropes and covered up and picked him apart between shots. One knock down was so embarrassing Brannon had his ass up in the air and his face on the canvas. And when the fight was stopped Roy was popping him at will, stopped and gestured to the ref to stop it, shrugged when he didn't and pounded on Brannon some more until he knocked him down again.

Mayweather vs. Genaro Hernandez (His coming out party, imo)



Mayweather vs. Gatti - Most people on this forum weren't following boxing back then, but for those that were, you guys (even the haters) remember that before Mayweather even signed that fight, tons of people were spouting shyt like "Mayweather doesn't want no part of Gatti... Gatti's got too much power, an iron chin, and the heart of a lion.... my boy Gatti is gonna fuck him up." :lolhaha: After the fight however, these same people turn around and say that Gatti was finished before the fight:rolleyes: (Nevermind the great win streak entering that fight that Gatti had going.) Mayweather basically ruined him that night.



Mayweather vs. Hatton - All these clowns that said that Mayweather ducked Hatton got silenced in a real big way. Then these same clowns turn around and say that "Hatton is not a natural welterweight, that's why he lost. If this fight had taken place at 140, then Hatton would have dominated him." Ummmmm......... in case you guys forgot, Mayweather started at SUPER FEATHERWEIGHT;)
