    Should probably include Jamal James vs Antonio DeMarco. Great fight from start to finish.

    Gvodzyk - Beterbiev is my pick. A fight between two undefeated, prime top LHWs, both men gave their best in a high level fight.

    Time to add David Lemeiux vs Maksym Bursak to the list. Definitely better than Joshua vs Ruiz 2 of course.

    Although it's a low level fight. This was a ****ing brilliant 3 round heavyweight war between Mark Bennett & Josh Sandland!

    Davies vs. Ritson. Don't forget about that.

    Ring Magazine 'Fight of the Year' award nominees:

    Gennady Golovkin vs Sergiy Derevyanchenko
    Naoya Inoue vs Nonito Donaire
    Manny Pacquiao vs Keith Thurman
    Errol Spence vs Shawn Porter
    Josh Taylor vs Regis Prograis

    I guess they're picking the more high profile fights. For me it's between Spence vs Porter, Pac vs Thurman, and Inoue vs Donaire.

    Hurd vs Williams and Inoue vs Donaire stand above the rest for me.

    inoue and donaire. an edge of your seat war that legitimized both fighters. one as a bona fide new p4p talent, the other as a hof former p4p talent.

    Inoue vs donaire easily. Donaire turned back the clock and made it a war. Highest form of boxing/brawl type of match up. These guys are elite in their division.

    Can't pick between Inoue-Donaire and Taylor-Prograis. Beterbiev-Gvozdyk would be my top 3. Been so many great fights this year and the two WBSS finals produced the best ones IMO.
