COMEBACK OF THE YEAR: Hmm Roy hasnt really comeback, i beleive the tito fight to be an illusion...Id say Tarver was more impressive coming back from defeat tbh, he was facing a legit challenge.

IRON CHIN:Margarito has the best chin in boxing.

GLASS CHIN: Glass chin of the year..?

RIP OFF OF THE YEAR: DLH - Mayweather 2, hasnt happned but is scheduled.

SHOCK OF THE YEAR: picked Casa to be Kat, again Antonio Tarver is the one that shocked me...albeit 'only' Clinton Woods i was certain Woods would win...

BEST DIVISION: Welterweight

WORST DIVISION: Heavy

WELCOME: David Haye :good

GOOD BYE: Hopkins...soon to be wlad Klitchko

IM HAPPY HE LOST: Hopkins losing to Calzaghe

IM PISSED HE LOST: Marquez so called loss to Pacman. Marquez was the winner for me!!

RETIRE ALREADY: Hopkins, not worth watching anymore

 

I think Quintana over Williams is the upset of the year or is very close to it, its debatable

 

KNOCKOUT OF THE YEAR: IMO it's Sebastian Sylvester KO's Javier Castillejo. First of all it's a KO vs. a better opponent (Castillejo > Banks >> Vilches). Second, this knockout was the most devasting as Castillejo was totally gone and needed nearly 4 minutes to get up.

:nono

 

That's very good my man! :thumbsup

 

Had a hard timing thinking of who to put because the year is still early.. not being biased or anything because I'm a Pac fan, but I chose him not only because of his win over Marquez, but he's moving up to lightweight for a title fight.. Only reason I picked him for Fighter of the Year.. Vazquez would be a candidate too, or Cotto..

 

I dont think for one second Campbell Diaz was that big an upset Jermz.

I leaned slightly towards baby bull, but knew Nate could win it and thought he might. And he did. Not pset of the year per se.

 

Same here.

 

:good Wow.... nice list!
