I heard Elder V Burton was really good. I will admit that I didn't see it. Was that in 06?
Before that. 2004 I think. I got the fight on video if your interested.

One of the best fights I ever saw was Jefferson v Harris. Doubtful it will be remembered as a classic. Or Elder v Burton.

The gap between Castillo VS Corrales and Malignaggi vs Cotto is the grand canyon. How can anyone mention these two in the same breath? Cotto vs Judah? That wasn't even a close fight. Cintron VS Estrada?
Castillo VS Corrales is the only fight of that bunch which will be remembered in the same though as Taylor VS Chavez and Morales VS Barrera. Marquez VS Vazquez II & III was ALSO way better than the other four fights you mentioned.
