    Which was better - Marquez vs Diaz or Margarito vs Cotto?

    Both were tremendous, fast paced wars where it appeared that the fighter who was trailing came back to stop his opponent in impressive fashion.

    Which fight do you think was better?

    I will go ahead and say Marquez-Diaz was better to me. Cotto never hurt Margarito at all whereas both guys got ****ed up last night. Marquez almost got KO'd in the second round and came back to do the business. Cotto just boxed and ran all night against Margarito.

      Marquez-Diaz. Cotto entertainingly outboxed Margarito all night til around round 10. Marquez-Diaz were trading bombs all night and it was much more competitive.

        Diaz and Marquez seemed to be a fast pace war with an exciting finish....
        margarito and cotto was very good but not as good as a finish with cotto taking a knee and constantly backing up

          I honestly can't decide right now, all I know is I jumped off my sofa at the end of both fights.

              That's tough. I chose Marquez-Diaz. It was more of an all out war, and it ended in a brutal KO whereas Cotto-Margarito was a stoppage. Cotto wasn't out. He was just exhausted.

                margarito-cotto was the best fight, but both were very good.

                the margarito-cotto fight was more anticipated, the build-up, the hype, the mexican-pr rivalry.....all that **** made for not only a great fight, but a great "event." margarito-cotto were also bigger names.

                diaz-marquez was a great fight also tho.

                  Margarito - Cotto was an absolute classic

                  such a shame the plaster thing has tainted it so much

                    Both were great. I'm going with Cotto-Margarito because he punches seemed more brutal. Plus, my favorite fighter at the time won and my favorite fighter now lost.
