I was considering voting, but now I'm hesitating. And no, for me it wasn't López/Márquez...
All joking aside, to me the most exciting Mexican/PR battle was Trinidad/Vargas bar none.
Lemme sound off on the all reasons like I usually state. Here's why it was such a great battle:
-Both were young
-Both were champions
-Both were undefeated
-Both had tremendous punching power (truly great!) Vargas was 24(22)-0 and Trinidad was something like 35(30)-0 (not sure on Trinidad)
-One was Mexican, one was Puerto Rican (need I say more?)
-Both were in each other's skin (Vargas was especially the type was ready to go to war as always)
-Low Blows by both fighters, both were deducted points
-Both fighters knocked down in the fight (SIX KNOCKDOWNS TOTAL)
-Dramatic KO finish (and in the twelfth, mind you)
It has all the makings of a truly astounding fight. And even if you don't know all these little details when watching the fight, just watch the action and let the fists speak for themselves.
And before anyone says, you're just saying that because Tito won, bull...look at all the reasons I posted. The fight wasn't one-sided, Tito was ahead by three points on Lederman's scorecard if I'm not mistaken, but Vargas gave Tito hell for 12 vicious rounds, it's remarkable considering he was almost out in the first fight. I never liked Vargas' attitude, but his heart was unquestionably large.

I voted JuanMa/Marquez just because the action was completely back and fourth the entire time.
I felt Cotto controlled the early Parts and then Margs came on and finished him and With Calderon/Segura while it was surprisingly entertaining it was nearly as good as the other 2.
JuanMa/Marquez because of the non-stop action and ridiculous back and fourth these 2 dudes had for the entire fight.
I think the Mega fights between the rivalry average about 1 per year. Let us be happy that there has been more than one this year. Win, lose or draw it's always nice to have a good fight.
But anyways........
Cotto vs Margarito
Marquez vs Lopez
Segura vs Calderon
