    I hear a lot of talk about how this boxing year is the worst for a while. What boxing year was the best one of this decade in your opinion, a year that had the most high quality matchups and good fights?

    Gatti/Ward I
    Gatti/Ward II
    Morales/Barrera II
    De La Hoya/Vargas
    Lewis/Tyson

    And the huge bump on Rahman's head from Holyfield.

    Boxing was Sports Illustrated cover material again.

    2007 hands down...made me feel proud to be a fight fan with the onslaught of great fights and De La Hoya-Mayweather making crossover headlines helped a lot too, even if it wasn't a barnburner.
