    Kova v Ward 2, Klitschko v Joshua, Haye vs Bellew, Brook v Spence, Lemieux vs Stevens, and a fair few more, but those are my personal favourites so far.


    Then still to come Wilder v Ortiz, Parker v Fury (maybe not the greatest but it's one of my most looked forward to fights), GGG vs Alvarez, Loma vs Rigo.

    I feel like I've been spoiled this year. Everyone is getting their balls back and these great fights are getting made.

    My hypothesis is the FMJ effect is dying off and people are realising they've got to make a name and can't sit around and wait for the money fights to come to them. That the 0 doesn't mean everything.

    Kovalev/Ward was corrupt, both fights. Parker/Fury will have a referee from the UK, against the rules......................Alvarez will own the judges in Vegas, so Golovkin will have to knock him out to get a draw, but I thought Klitschko/Joshua was a really good fight with fair judges and referee, they went by the rules................SOS Ward taught Saunder's kid to kick him in the testicles............................SOB must be his hero................

    2017 has been, in general, one of the best years for boxing I can remember.

    I don't know.People tend to say that every year though don't they?

    To tell the truth the only fights that really had me hyped in anticipation this year have been Joshua vs Klitschko and tonight's GGG/Canelo showdown.
