    OK, after a few days to sit back and reflect on it, what do you guys think?

    Personally, after all the fights I've seen, this one is the best one this year... I don't watch every fight, mostly big name fights, so I may have missed another thriller in there somewhere, but from all of the fights I've seen this year, this is definitely my fave.

    #2 would be Froch vs Taylor

    Tied for #3 would probably be John vs. Juarez II (mainly because of the last round where it looked like Juarez would pull off a Froch)

    And PacMan/Hatton just because of the way Pac put him away with a ****ing vengeance.

    Gamboa hasn't fought anyone to say he could destroy even a top 10 in the division. Juan Ma is # right now....sit your ass down.

    Is this your first time watching boxing? Sorry man but come on John vs Juarez as the 3rd best fights in 2009? Why? cause of the last round? Did you even watch Berto vs Collazo or Pascal vs Diaconu or Marquez vs Diaz?

    I watched Berto/Collazo and Marquez/Diaz... not Pascal/Diaconu though... and yes, I'd personally put John/Juarez above Marquez/Diaz and Berto/Collazo... tbh I don't even remember the Berto/Collazo fight, obviously if I can't remember it, it doesn't belong up there.

    I was gonna put Marquez/Diaz at #3 but I think it was the atmosphere that made those other two fights better (FOR ME) IMO. I saw Marquez/Diaz at home... I saw Pac/Hatton at a bar and Juarez/John at the theater. Everybody was effin' excited during that last round!

    Marquez-Diaz for me too :good

    There was just too little skill in Mtagwa-Juanma. Sure it was entertaining, a truly great fight but Marquez-Diaz was way more than that.

    Gotta be FOTY. Who would of thought Mtagwa would give Juanma hell like that? Mtagwa looks like a star right now.

    Wait hold up Are you talking about Rocky vs John 2? Come on man. That fight was so damn boring but yea the last round was the best round of the fight but that only round shouldn't be consider one of the best fights in 2009. Marquez vs Diaz had way more then 1 round that was exciting.
