Here's your chance to vote for the fight of the 00's, non-pareil!

To keep voting reasonable, I'm just going to allow nominees to be restricted to the Ring's FOTY winners for each calendar year. Feel free to mention whichever fights you like & recall them fondly from 2000-present, but those will be the only voting options available.

Have at it, & let's see what we come up with...

It should probably be MAB-Morales I as the front-runner, with Vasquez-Marquez II as my runner-up. I'd add in Morales-Pacquao I which I think is a very under-rated scrap.

Lots will say Corrales-Castillo but unfortunately the ref's actions in that last round always sour that bout for me. But I think Vasquez-Marquez II and MAB-Morales I had more exciting turns of the tide thoughout the bout as well.

Hard to leave out Ward-Burton though . . .damn this is tough!

You didn't think the ref should've stopped the bout in Corrales Castillo 1?

No, I'm referring to the ref basically saving Coralles from a KO after he spit out his mouthpiece twice; he should have let the fight continue and not called a halt for the mouthpiece to come back in per the rules . .

Morales vs Barrera 1 for me there was blood and guts, determination, warrior spirit and also lots of skill were I feel Gatti v Ward didnt have that skill level. Although I didnt agree with the decision it was a brilliant fight. It gets my vote

Morales-Barrera I leads the voting here, but Corrales-Castillo I is on top in Current Scene.

Corrales vs Castillo I....Priceless....the best that ever happened this SORRY DECADE IN BOXING.

Freitas/Raheim

I would lean toward Barrera-Morales I. Ward-Gatti I and Corrales-Castillo I are great candidates as well, but I feel B-M I just seemed to define the whole decade somehow, as if it was a standard by which subsequent great fights (especially in the lower weight classes) were measured.

I gotta say three stand above the rest, however slightly...

Morales-Barrera I
Corrales-Castillo I
Vazquez-Marquez III
