    Actually, I can think of two or three fights I would've shoved aside in favour of that...it wasn't the most skillful but year, both guys tried hard and that was a decent scrap.

    This is the best poll since the one I put up a couple years back about "Which was the best Holyfield-Ruiz fight?" It's like asking which is the least irritating form of cancer.

    I didn't realize the HW division had so many garbage fights. WOW! HW will always be my favorite division, but it spiraled in 2007. Here's to hoping for a better 2008.

    I voted for Peter-McCline. It was a great story. The older veteran never-was almost puts the young, hungry up and comer down three times only for the rookie to mount the come back and score a UD. Good stuff.

    Looks like Peter-McCline has the nod here.
    It was a wild start, shame (like vs Byrd) McCline let a great start slip again.

    Povetkin-Byrd was probably better than any of the fights on this list.

    I voted Valuev-Chagaev not that it was so good but I enjoyed greatly the masterful boxing performance of Chag.

    It certainly paints a sad picture for the heavyweight division. None of those fights interested me this year.
