    Diaz vs Marquez was an all-out war I came home with my voice gone because of all the screaming at the toyota center. Every round was action packed!

      Both were great..but I have to go with Diaz vs Marquez....Cotto vs Margarito was more one sided till like the 6-7 when Margarito turned it aound. Marquez and Diaz was very back and forth and even all the way to the end.

            I'd say Marquez/Diaz was better. More punches, faster paced, beautiful KO, crazy exchanges early on, both guys hurt. That fight had everything.

                  I finally voted, and I ended up voting for Margarito vs Cotto for the following reasons.
                  • They were larger men and both were big punchers.
                  • There was plenty of pre-fight hype and the fight lived up to it all.
                  • The Puerto Rican vs Mexican rivalry.
                  • Cotto was undefeated and I believe he was the favorite.
                  • The fight was just brutal; Even though Tony won, Cotto may have inflicted more long term damage on Tony than Tony did to him.
                  However, in terms of the fight and only the fight, JMM and Diaz was probably better if that makes any sense.

                    I'll have to say Marquez vs Diaz it was more of an allout fast paced brawl with both exchanging punches, both were hurt and it had a fantastic ending.

                    To tell you the truth I don't know at 35 if Marquez could keep up with these type of battles.

                    Cotto vs Margarito was good, but it wasn't as fast paced and Cotto boxed more than staying and trading with Margarito.
