    Take the super six out of the equation and this has been one of the worst years for good matchups I can think of.

    There are nowhere near as many fights to look forward to as there should be.

    Of the few that are out there, Froch vs. Abraham is near the top of the list.

    Williams-Martinez 2 disaster
    Mayweather-pac disaster
    Cotto-margariTOE 2 disaster
    140 seems to be a disaster

    This year is becoming a disappointment but hopefully something big happens at the end of this year & next year.

    Yeah, generally speaking its been a **** year so far and looks like it isn't gonna get much better. Saying that, I'm still looking forward to Juan Manuel Lopez v Rafael Marquez and Danny Jacobs v Dmitri Pirog.

    AA V Froch
    Jacobs v Pirog
    Macklin v Barker

    It has been a pretty **** year. Should have been awesome but most boxers/promoters only care about $ and don't give a **** about fans.

    Having said that I won't say there are no fights to be excited about. On top of the ones I mentioned. Angulo/Williams/Martinez should have a good fight between two of them before the year is out. Montiel v Donaire would be great also.

    There haven't been any superfights but those tend to be an anti-climax anyway. Usually all hype and no substance.

    2007/8 were great years. This year so far has been dry. I cant think of many bouts that interest me let alone big fights in the pipeline.

    There are some good fights but nothing that has me buzzing

    I hoped by the end of the year we'd have 2 mega fights to drool over but i cant see either ever happening at this point, and wont believe it till they are face to face in the ring (pbf/pac and haye/wlad of course)

    Its not good for boxing, has turned a lot of casual fans off that i know.

    you're not really much of a boxing fan then. I'm looking forward to Shumenov on ESPN coming up. They are a few fights coming up that should be nice. My advice: Watch it. Even if you don't know who the **** the two guys fighting are. You never know, a badass fight may break out....
