Tomas Villa vs Rogers Mtagwa
Jorge Arce vs Rafael Concepcion

What about these fights ? honestly i thought atleast 3 out of the 4 fights i listed above were easily better than Antonio Margarito vs Miguel Cotto, don't get me wrong Miguel Cotto vs Antonio Margarito was a cracking fight, but i certainly didn't think it was the FOTY. And i was pretty shocked it won FOTY aswell.
I think it was a 2 horse race with the first and Cotto-Margarito and I can't get upset. It was a fight with a ton of hype that a lot of people watched and they put on probably the best fight on HBO PPV since Barrera-Morales 3 and it had so much drama it was a crazy fight.

And I think it was a way better fight then Casa-Katsidis just without the knockdowns and it was at a waaay higher level then Villa and Mtagwa even though that was a great fight. In a year that didn't have a great fight at the top level that would have been it but not this year despite how great of a bout it was.
For the back and forth action, I thought Marquez-Pac II was FOTY. It was worth the 4 year wait in every way. But Cotto-Tony and Rafa-Izzy have their arguments.
