Now that 2009 has wrapped up, we can take a look at the best of the decade that just was. Only one more poll for fighter of the decade after this one. Over the course of a decade, you get a ton of great fights, but here are a few that really stood out. Only 9 fit on the poll, and I went with fights that have Youtube reels, so if your favorite isn't on here, I apologize.
I'm not going to count obvious ballot stuffing when I tally these up in about a week.
Erik Morales vs. Marco Antonio Barrera I (February 19, 2000)
Micky Ward vs. Arturo Gatti I (May 18, 2002)
Lennox Lewis vs. Vitali Klitschko (June 21, 2003)
