    What has been everyone's best and worst boxing cards of 2017?
    - which card had the best main event fight.
    - Which card was the best card overall with main event and undercard fights.
    - Which has been the biggest ppv card flop.
    - Which ppv card has been the best.
    - and which has been the worst card this year.

    Going forward, the 29th July card in New York i think is one of the best cards of the year and hopefully GGG vs Canelo has a solid undercard as well.

    As for the worst card in the Uk i remember martin Murray vs Rosado was very average from top to bottom.

    My answers to the above:
    - best main events have been AJ Wlad, Brook Spence, Thurman Garcia, degale vs jack - theres a load more but these are some of the higher profile fights.
    - Best overall Card has been frampton cruz 2 with garcia on undercard or brook vs spence with george groves.
    - Biggest ppv card flop: in the uk the 3 i have watched have been exciting - i can't think of any in the us that flopped, i know ward kovalev buys will have flopped but the fight was good.
    - Brook spence is best ppv card for me.

    Agree with the majority of it. All 3 PPV's this year so far have been superb.

    Best main event - Joshua vs Klitschko.
    Best Card - Brook vs Spence

    It wasn't a ppv but I was let down by the Murray vs Rosado bill, more so because of the expectation but I didn't think it was great overall.

    yeah i think because it was being billed as an all out war but in reality it was anything but that.
