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

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

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.
