I liked salido-lopez 1 but salido-lopez 2 was a far more better fight than that one and that's the one that should be on the list

Yeah Salido-JuanMa II definitely should've made the list. That's probably the biggest omission on here along with Cotto-Margarito I

I hated watching his fights..nikka stayed with them head clashes and was featherfisted to boot..the only champ ive seen win 3 technical decisions in a row cuz of them headbutts
