is this the best year for boxing since 1982?

Whats so great about this year?

 

I think last year far surpasses anything that's happened this year. 2007 was one of the best year's we've had in a long time.

 

Yeah, I think last year was better.

 

this years definitly better..... more exciting match ups (margo vs cotto?, c'mon now what could be more exciting?), more exciting super fights (mayweather vs. oscar was garbage, and mayweather vs. hatton was a mismatch) and a more exciting pound for pound champion...... i honestly think this years been great, and i agree.......one of the best years of boxing i've seen in quite some time......from super featherweight to welterweight, theres alot of monsters that can make for potentially monsterous fights by the end of the year..... and if haye can deliver with his promises even the sorry ass heavyweight division may be able to be revived..... and by the way is that mayorga-mosley a done deal?

 

I think there is no such "mega" fights like PBF-DLH (highly overrated) or PBF-Hatton but overall the 2008 is much better than 2007, because there are 6 divisions which have mayor fighst between the top guys to establish who the real champion is: BW (Marquez-Vasquez), LW(Campbel-Diaz,....), JWW (Hatton-Malignaggi), WW(Cotto-Margarito), LHW(Calzaghe-Hopkins/Tarver-Dawson), CW (Haye-Maccarineli/Adamek-Cunnigham), HW (Wlad-Ibragimov)

PAC-JMM 2
Vasquez-MarquezIII

The LW division alone gives big input:
Campbel-Diaz
Casamayor-JMM :bbb
PAC-Diaz
Guzman-Campbel :bbb
Katsidis-Casamayor :bbb
Diaz-Katsidis
PAC-Valero :bbb

Then LWW
Bradley-Witter
Hatton-Malignaggi :bbb :bbb

The WW is a little worse with PBF retirement but still interesting
Cotto-Margarito :bbb :bbb
Margarito-Cintron
Williams-Quintana 2x
Judah-Clotley

Mosley-Mayorga

The SMW was entertaining
Abraham-Miranda II :bbb
Pavlik-Taylor II

The LHW is getting interesting
Tarver-Woods
Dawson-Johnson
Dawson-Tarver :bbb
Hopkins-Calzaghe
Jones-Trinidad
Jones-Calzaghe

Cuiser is exciting
Haye-Maccarineli :bbb
Adamek-Bell
Kraj-Godfrei
Arslan-Willson
FLores-Willson
Cunningham-Adamek :bbb

And most importantly there was unification at HW, and some interesting fights
Klitchko-Ibragimov
Peter-Vitaly
Haye-TBA
Wlad-Povetkin
Wlad-Thompson
Povetkin-Chambers
Valuev-Lyakhovich
Valuev-Ruiz/Golota ?
Peter-Maskaev
Golota-Mollo
Toney-Rahman 2
Virchis-Gomez


...... and the biggest entertainment .... PBF RETIREMENT!

 

oh thanx.... thats whats up, but ummm..... yeah to be real with ya'll i rarely see any fights under super featherweight, i cant even tell you who's decent or great...... somebody give me some names, i'll spend my free time this week watching those little guys

 

I still think last year was ridiculous. We have yet to see what fans pan out in terms of entertainment, so it still up for grabs. Don't forget last year you had vasquez-marquez I and II. Plus Cotto-Mosley and Cotto-Judah were very entertaining and Marquez-Barrera was a better scrap than Marquez-Pac as was the first Taylor-Pavlik fight compared to the second.
