    Walcott v Charles got the nod ,with a 7th rd ko for Walcott that finally gave him the heavyweight crown, on his 5th attempt.
    Candidates for the Fight Of The Year included.
    Robinson v Turpin 2
    Robinson v Lamotta V1
    Marciano v Louis
    Toweel v Ortiz
    Gavilan v Bratton
    Did the Ring get it right, or should they have made another pick?

    Robinson-LaMotta VI is my favourite fight, so I would say that should be the FOTY in any year.

    Well, it would have got my pick that year,though I haven't seen the Toweel v Ortiz fight.
