Can't argue with this comprehensive list. I don't know if these two were amongst the best. But they were meaningful I think. Joe Calzaghe vs Jeff Lacy. Finally proved to the American audience that Calzaghe wasn't some overrated Euro Bum. And Nonito Donaire vs Vic Darchinyan. Great back story and another shocking KO. (My bad, Dan did include Lacy/Calzaghe)
I think I saw at least 30 of those fights, some of them don’t immediately come back to me, but most do and whatta legacy. Could they argue about the order? Sure, but who cares truly some legendary nights there. Can’t argue with number one though. That tenth round is everything beautiful about boxing, and human endeavor.
Can't argue at all with this list. The Super Six was great. If my memory hasn't failed me Jermain Taylor was up big on Carl Froch but Froch finished him late and Taylor was never the same. I remember Cotto fighting Quintana for vacant wba 147 pound belt. Quintana coming off win over undefeated Joel "THE LOVE CHILD" Julio... cotto starched him. 2 fights later Quintana had massive upset over Paul Williams. Let's not forget rip shobox also.

Great list. Calzaghe came back to his corner after the first round against Lacy and declared, “He can’t punch shit.”
Also... what Frankie Randall in that 1st Chavez is still amazing to be. He literally met him punch for punch.
