    The only ones I liked a lot this year were Wlad vs Joshua and Gonzalez vs Rungvisai. The others, and I've seen the one's on CSTs top list, didn't rise to that level. Although, Golovkin vs Canelo was pretty good and Salido vs Roman was good but sloppy. Breazeale vs Ugonoh was more like a great round than a great fight.

    What a year for boxing. Some great fights in that list. 5, 6, 9 ,11, are my favourites and Kell Brook v Spence Jnr. I'm struggling to think if we've ever had it so good in general across the weights. We are spoilt at the moment lol

    That's kind of my feeling about AJ-Wlad, aside from 3 great rounds, it was fairly uneventful for the most part. Whereas the 4 I have ahead of it, were sustained action from bell to bell or bell to stoppage.

    Good reasoning, I'd would have added only Moises Calleros vs Fukuhara, that was a tremendous battle with non-stop action&drama.

    Can disagree a bit with the placement but solid effort.

    A few more that warrant mention:

    Hurd vs Harrison
    Melindo vs Budler
    Tanaka vs Acosta
    Tanaka vs Chayanram
    Ramirez vs Hart
    Valdez vs Servania
    Crawford vs Indongo (just for the performance of TC)
    Higa vs Navarrette
    Smirnov vs Kuznetsov
    Evans vs Rosa (Bad decision, good fight)
    James vs Dan
    Ballard vs Luna Flores
    Sparrow vs Florian
    Tete vs Gonya (all 11 seconds of it)
    Beltran vs Macielo
    Abduquaxarov vs Manyuchi

    And more. All of the fights I found to be enjoyable to watch, though.

    2017 was a very good year for boxing in the ring. But the three blind mice judging the matches need to improve for 2018.
