    Note: I'm not talking about FOTY candidates, I'm speaking about the fights of 2012 where the Best are fighting the Best and the fights that the public has demanded came true. The fights where each fighter is world class and you're not really sure who will win. and of course, two young, hungry fighters with winning streaks facing eachother.

    my list:

    Alexander Vs. Maidana
    Mayweather Vs. Cotto
    Ward Vs. Dawson
    Martinez Vs. Chavez Jr.
    Haye Vs. Chisora
    Burns Vs. Mitchell
    Quillin Vs. Hassan
    Froch Vs. Bute
    Garcia Vs. Khan
    Rios Vs. Alvarado
    Mares Vs. Moreno
    Broner Vs. Demarco
    Guererro Vs. Berto
    Lara Vs. Vanes

    The ones I enjoyed the most:

    Martinez vs Chavez Jr.
    Bute vs Froch
    Khan vs Garcia
    Mayweather vs Cotto
    Haye vs Chisora

    Some more potentially great fights are yet to come. Pretty good year.

    Quillin/Hassan was the best matchup this year. Truly a 50/50 fight.

    Martirosyan-Lara was a good one on the paper.

    Antonio Demarco vs. John Molina looked like a hell of a fight when it was announced. I remember thinking it would be the fight of the night.

    i was thinking about putting that one down. alot of people, including me, was excited about that fight.
    i'm kind of on the fence about the Donaire-Nishioka fight because nobody really cared for this fight and thought he would win easily anyway.

    Rigondeaux was the fight everyone wanted. but i guess it was top fight "on paper"

    excellent fight, I seriously underestimated hassan, was confused why the commentators were picking him to beat hard hitting quillin. with hindsight it was a 50/50 fight
