I haven't seen Casamayor vs Katsidis yet but out of the choices i'll say Marquez vs Vasquez 2 but i won't vote until i've seen Katsidis vs Casamayor.

marquez - pacquaio 2, would of preferred a different decision though
It' March nad we have about 4 solid contedners for FOTY already?! Insane if you ask me! I'm going for Marquez v Vazquez qith Joel v Kats and then Manny v JMM2. I don't think anything will be better than Rafa v Isreal.
For me the fight that still at the Year is of Israel Vazquez vs Rafael Marquez 3 they been hitting each other since the beginning until the end in which put to all the people in a situation of intrigue in who going win and was emotionally........![]()
Raf-Marq will be the fight of the year, barring the follow-up suicide stories when Ruiz captures a belt or two.

I voted for Joel Casamayor vs Michael Katsidis as it was high drama, with Katsidis down twice in the 1st then coming back later in the fight to put Casamayor through the ropes. Then the great finish by Casamayor. Gripping action.
I agree it was very good WelshDevil, however Marquez-Vaz put an exclamation point on a GOAT trilogy, with very high skill level. On top of that, the Casa/Kats fight had a disappointing finish.![]()

Vazquez Marquez is the far and away winner for me, I think it's the one truly great fight for all ages that we've had so far. It's been a good year but nothing quite reaches that level for me.
Casa - Katsidis last night was good, as was Pac - JMM but maybe it's because I didn't see it it live, but Pacquiao - Marquez II wasn't all it was cracked up to be imo. I saw a fight with a lot of downtime and not a whole lot of clean landed punches. Good drama but I personally think both fighters have fights that rank much better then that. It was a good fight, but I wouldn't put it up there in Marquez - Vazquez' class. That was absolutely off the charts.
Im going with Casamayor vs Katsidis i know some people may think im crazy, but i think it was even more dramatic than Marquez vs Vasquez 3, with Katsidis being floored twice in the 1st round, then Katsidis starts to take over by about round 3, then knocks Casamayor out of the ring in the 6th round, then we have more brilliant two way action. Then by round 10 Casamayor is behind on points and Katsidis goes in to finish off Casamayor then BOOM amazing left hand from Casamayor and Katsidis goes down hard he gets up but badly shaken then Casamayor finishes him off in impressive fashion.
Mark my words it will be Izzy vs. Rafa III....

I definitely think fight-wise Vasquez vs Marquez III was a better fight to watch than Pacquiao vs Marquez II.
I just feel that Pacquiao vs Marquez II was a much bigger event. It was yet another Mexico vs Philippines fight, their first fight was a draw, there was a proper build-up with the HBO-made countdown show, the world has been waiting for them to fight again for 4 years, #2 vs #3 pound-for-pound (i think that's a big deal), a fight between two future Hall-of-Famers, and the fight was well promoted. Plus, Pay-Per-View fights lately lack drama, let alone back and forth action. Both men took and let go of the momentum and were in certain points susceptible to being knocked out.
Vasquez vs Marquez are a perfect match for each other it was obvious they would go to war for the third time. But Pacquiao vs Marquez could've easily been another non-exciting/disappointing Pay-Per-View fight.
Can't believe this is so close to be honest, I think it's far and away Vazquez and I think that Pac - JMM, while it was a big fight and not a disappointment, was a fairly average fight. I was never once wowed by the action, there were only a few notable back and forth exchanges throughout the entire fight and there wasn't 1 round that sticks out in the memory. It was an average fight with major implications. I don't think it's FOTY by any means. Especially when you have a fight of the decade canidate in Vazquez - Marquez III.
