There were two fights, one between Tybalt and Mercutio, in which Mercutio died, and one between Romeo and Tybalt, in which Tybalt died. For Romeo and Juliet, it was the second one which mattered, because it led to Romeo being banished from Verona so they could not be together. It also made Mrs. Capulet incredibly mad at Romeo so she would be unlikely ever to forgive him, even if she knew he was her son-in-law. Mercutio's death might have caused Romeo to be sad, but would not have the impact on his life that Tybalt's had.

His name was Mercutio, the man who fought Tybalt because he finds Romeo's excuse not to fight Tybalt cowardly. During the fight Romeo got between the two trying to stop the fight, and in doing so got Mercutio stabbed.


What is Romeos motivation for killing Tybalt?

Tybalt has taken advantage of the feud between his auntie's husband's relatives the Capulets (no actual relation to Tybalt), to show off his fighting skills. From Mercutio we hear that he is "the very butcher of a silk button", a trained swordsman and duellist, whose only pleasure is in fighting. Tybalt uses the fact that Romeo crashed the Capulet party as a pretext for challenging him, but it is a flimsy excuse and that is all it is. Tybalt will just as happily fight with Mercutio as with Romeo.
