Margarito vs Cotto wasn't the best imo. Watching that fight serveral times you could see Cotto being worn down...Pacquiao vs Marquez was a good one though.
I'd have to say it was Cotto vs Margarito. It was a hell of an unexpected outcome, but exciting nonetheless.
I'd put Margarito vs Williams and Mayweather vs Hatton up there in the "surprise department".
Yea man, you can argue that Cotto won the 10th round he landed so many bombs...after that it was curtains though haha. It was action till the end though, no doubt about that.
yep, I had it in HD, and it felt like I was right next to both of them in the ring..
the finishing rounds of Marg vs Cotto were close to if not a war....

Yeah it's really close. The fact that Cotto was on the back foot for much of the fight might throw people off, and I can understand that. I'm a fan of Cotto though, so I'm biased either way.

Cotto-Margarito really told a story. It was unique. Marquez-Vasquez III, as much as I loved it didn't have that quality.

Bute-Andrade wasn't actually a good fight it just had a controversial and exciting ending.
I was thinking of putting Holt-Torres II as #10 but I decided it was too short.
And I didn't see Angulo-Guttierez
Angulo/Gurtierrez was a good (but mostly one-sided) slugfest until the final round, when Gutierrez hurt Angulo and couldn't put him away. Then Angulo rallied and stopped Gutierrez in the same round. Damned good fight.
The conclusion of Bute/Andrade was as good as any, but yeah the action up to that point was lacking.
i dunno if its just me, but last time i watched Vazuqez-Marquez 3, the middle rounds didnt have that much action....
I agree to an extent. As good as that fight was I think it was slightly overhyped.
That said I still have not seen a better one this year.
Vazquez/Marquez III
Cotto/Margarito
Pacquiao/Marquez II
Adamek/Cunningham
Casmayor/Katsidis
Dawson/Johnson
Angulo/Gutierrez
Juarez/Barrios
Froch/Pascal
Mtagwa/Villa
Andrade/Bute
take your pick between the last two or three. off the top of my head those are the fights that come to mind.

horrible list.....the inclusion of golota-mollo hugfest is disgusting.....
i'd say the absolute six best(in no order):
Mtagwa-Villa
Vazquez-Marquez 3
Adamek-Cunningham
JMM-Pacquiao 2
Margarito-Cotto
Casa-Katsidis
how is it a horrible list if the six fights you mentioned were all on that list?
1. Vazquez Marquez III
2. Vazquez Marquez III
3. Vazquez Marquez III
4. Vazquez Marquez III
5. Vazquez Marquez III
6. Vazquez Marquez III
7. Vazquez Marquez III
8. Vazquez Marquez III
9. Vazquez Marquez III
10.Vazquez Marquez III

My top ten:
1. Vazquez Marquez III
2. Adamek Cunningham
3. Cotto Margarito
4. Mtawga vs Villa
5. Katsidis vs Casamayor
6. Johnson-Dawson
7. Marquez-Pacquiao II
8. Munoz-Kawashima
9. Canchilla-Segura
10. Holt Torres II
I haven't seen Froch-Pascal, so that would probably be #10
vazquez/marquez should be 1 by default. then cotto/margs and 3. casa/katsidis
I agree the more I watch cotto/ marg the more I see the signs of him breaking down earlier in the fight and looking horrible back peddling. nobody saw agbeko/gonzalez that should be top5
