Kirkland Laing was posting in the 'Marcos Maidana may never fight again' thread and reminded us how much he enjoyed seeing Broner lose. I felt the same way about that fight.
It doesn't have to be about somebody losing. I mean it could be about you favorite fighter winning or seeing a great fight.
you know what, there hasnt been any really stand out fights in a while
last one i remember really enjoying enough to put it up there was Froch Groves 1
Yeah Froch fights in general. None really disappointed for me. As far as all out action anyway.
Really enjoyed Martinez vs Salido recently.
Berto vs Ortiz. Was that less than 5 years ago? Please say yes!

Quite a few good fights for me.
Provodnikov vs Bradley.
Marquez vs Pacuiao IV
Marquez vs Katsidis.
Arreola vs another fat guy.
Garcia vs Khan
Cotto-Margarito II
Provodnkov - Bradley
Froch - Groves 1 (apart from the finish)
Brizuela - Coyle
The fat dude Arreola fought is Curtis Harper. A lot of flab shaking when their punches landed, but it was pretty good action.
Took about 1/2 hour to think about it- fights mentioned above along with these- are the best I've enjoyed in the past 5 years.

It was a bit of an ordeal to watch, as I think most of us predicted pre fight. But Pacman/Lil Floyd is totally redeemable, because it reminded me of my youth, when a fight was so big, seemingly anyone who knew anything about sport had an opinion (no matter how naive) and wanted to watch the fight.
