    Default Memorable fights of the last ten years.

    Two fights come to mind.

    Lewis - Klitchko, for obvious reasons. A real cliffhanger at the bar. Lewis is a Canadian Icon, regardless of what happened after the Olympics.

    Hopkins - Trinidad - Aside from 9/11, most of us were starting to get quite impressed by Hopkins, and everything about Trinidad made you nervous if you don't like him. Me. As the fight unravelled, we're waiting for the titobombs to start dropping, and the guy next to me at the bar is saying "Damn, Hopkins is fighting a smart fight" And it went on that way until it was over.

    Honorable mention: de la Hoya - Mosely I: Everybody knew de la Hoya, not everybody knew Mosely. I had never seen him. It was a great fight. The guy sitting next to me at the bar is saying "Damn, but Mosely is fast". Shane Mosley really impressed me that fight.

    I didnt see the two fights highlighted but all the others are fantastic fights. You know your stuff.

    I was ringside for Sellers - Thompson. Freitas vs Barrios was classic but it seemed to take away all the remainding heart that Popo had. I had forgot what a good fight Echols - Brewer was and I think Brewer was robbed to be fair.

    Not sure Id have Floyds fights as great matches though cuz Chavez and Ndou were over matched. If we are talking boxing exhibitions though then Id put Floyd - Gatti in there too . Foyd was awesome that night . He looked so good when he fought assertively.

    I liked Mosleys 1st fight with Vargas too. Tito - Vargas was probably my 3rd favourite fight. Behind Barrera - Morales and Barrera - Naseem.
