i wont give it to bika vs codrington because they arnt as respected as taylor was when he got knocked out, and the first fight made the second fight even better in the marquez vazquez fights
For me, Bika/Codrington is ruled out for the lack of technical skills.
Marquez and Vasquez were throwing precise combinations at each other. Mixing up body and head, punching with power, throwing jabs, etc. The skill level shown in that fight makes it that much more impressive imo.
Vazquez-Marquez 2 was unbelievable but it lacked the drama that Codrington-Bika and Taylor-Pavlik produced.
And the ending was kinda sour.
I nominate PAVLIK-TAYLOR
vazquez-marquez 2.............................
Sorry! I must have clicked the "submit" button half a second later than you did. Had I seen your post, I would have simply quoted it and said, "Amen". :)
Pavlik Taylor. Marquez Vasquez was good, but didn't get me as excited as Pavlik Taylor.
I literally jumped when Taylor went down.
Vargas Mayorga was good too. I yelled "HES DOWN!!" in the first round because I was excited ahahha.
