      Yeah the first time the top 2 fighters in the same division have fought each other since Holyfield and Tyson.

        Leonard vs Hearns I
        Leonard vs Duran I
        Whitaker vs Chavez
        Pacquiao vs. Marquez II
        All #1 vs #2

        Mayweather vs. Mosley
        was #2 vs #3

        Pacquiao vs. Marquez III
        was #1 vs. #3

        If B-Hop vs. Roy II happened in 2003 like it should have, that would have been #1 vs #2

        (because he wasn't officially ranked, you can't really consider Mayweather vs. Marquez even though it was unofficially the #1 vs #2, #1 vs #3, or #2 vs #3, depending on who you ask)

          Yeah Donaire was superb that night. That huge counter left hook was the perfect punch, everything came together at the right moment.
