So, I've just recently got back into the sport after not really paying attention for a decade or so....I recently made a donation to the WBVA and am curious about what I should nab...if some of you could give me a list of your top 10-20 fights of the last 10 years, I'd really appreciate it

Its almost impossible to list that many mate but Ill do my best to list a few you would enjoy on tape if you got them

Morales Barerra 1
Ward Gatti 1/2/3

Benn Eubank ii (just over ten years ago)
Benn Mclellan (tragic but brutal)

Danny williams Mark potter truly unbelievable straight out of a rocky film if that floats your boat)

Gomez arthur was quality recently also.

Just a few well known ones off the top of my head

george foreman - michael moore
naseem hamed - kevin kelley
gatti - ward 1
de la hoya - vargas
de la hoya - mosley
trinidad - hopkins

and as much as i love roy jones jr, his ring entrances are just as good....
if u can get it, get the ring entrance with redman and method man which i think was against lou del valle, and his entrance in hte clinton woods fight with the "and still..." performance

Hamed-Kelley, Gatti-Ward one and three, Foreman-Moorer, and Benn-McClellan are some excellent fights. There's also Sheika-Pemberton II from early this year, a fight not quite so high profile, but with incredible back-and-forth action and both guys going down.

Danny Williams V Mark Potter is worth a watching.

A similar fight in terms of being less-than-true-world-class but still absolutely riveting was the Letterlough-Gonzalez light-heavyweight war on ESPN a few years back. I lost track of how many knockdowns there were in that fight.
