Agree with the above ones. Antonio Margarito vs Miguel cotto was a good fight.

that was a good fight but overshadowed by the illegal substance margarito had on his bandages,
i thought cotto vs mallinagi was a good fight too

Re: Whats Been Your Favourite Boxing Fights

Calzaghe v Lacy
JMM v Juan Diaz
Mosley v Margarito
The Benn v Eubank fights

Re: Whats Been Your Favourite Boxing Fights
Don't realy get to see much boxing these days now that most of it is on pay tv.
Some that stand out from yesteryear are:
Benn vs Eubank
Benn vs Mcclellan
Couple of Barry Mcguigan fights from the 80's
Balboa vs Creed in Rocky  
Of all I think I remember the Benn Mcclellan one the most. Watched it with some friends and we were screaming for Benn as he came back into the fight (after taking a hammering early on) Sadly (i think) Mcclellan had some serious complecations from that fight.

Re: Whats Been Your Favourite Boxing Fights
I've always been a fan of heavy handed - one punch KO power fighters.
A few that come to mind are...
Julian Jackson knocking seven bells out of Terry Norris 
Terry Norris knocking seven bells out of John Mugabi
Gerald McClellan knocking seven bells out of Julian Jackson
I think i'm right in saying that after McClellan destroyed Julian Jackson - his next fight was against Nigel Benn.
I remeber saying to the lads at work that Benn was going to get KTFO inside 2 rounds (nearly happened too!!!)
If the time is right - there's nothing like 2 great heavyweights going toe to toe. The Bowe / Holyfield fights were great entertainment.
Oddly enough, some of the best KO's i have seen in heavyweights involve Tommy Morrison
Getting mullered by Ray Mercer & getting chinned by Michael Bentt

You have good taste.Any fight with Hearns,Duran,Spinks, Hagler,Sugar Ray Leonard were absolutely fantastic.
There are loads more but i'll keep the list short.
