    Top 10 fight of the year. Ship them lists!

    1.Israel Vazquez SD12 Rafael Marquez III - Third time is the charm they say, and it is. First fight to go all the way, yet you wont believe how they can survive 12 rounds. Vazquez finally gets knocked in this fight, but comes back to take the SD.

    2.Antonio Margarito TKO 11 Miguel Cotto - Biggest hype, delivered big time

    3.Adamek SD Cunningham - Crazy fight, Biggest cruiserweight fight since Holy-Qawi and Mac-Haye

    4.Carl Froch UD Jean Pascal - Another reason why 168lbs is the hottest division in the sport
    5.Joel Casamayor KO9 Micheal Katsidis - Great KO to finish it. Back and forth action

    6.Rogers Mtagwa-Tomas Villa - Bar brawl of the year. Not so much skill though, but all action

    7.Adam Richards vs. Chazz Witherspoon - IF you can find it, HW fight of the year. They go at it like mad guys.

    8.Chris Arreola KO Travis Walker - Although worrying that Arreola is America's best, this is a great fight.

    9. Pacman SD JMM - Tight tight fight, perhaps the most skilled fight of the year not counting the first one. Could have gone either way to be honest.

    10.Steven Luevano Draw Mario Santiago - Undercard of Pacman-Marquez 2. Both KDed, Draw well deserved for both men.

    Round of the year: Holt-torres 2.

    Cintron - Margarito II was a beatdown, plain and simple.. it does not crack the top10 for me.

    I'm surprised no one had Dawson vs Johnson and Diaz vs Campbell,both good fights.

    Diaz Campbell got dull after Diaz got the cut from headbutt.

    Johnson-dawson was good. Just missed a few KD's!

    Forgot about duddy-smichet. That was a fun fight..

    I need to see Arce Concepcion. Heard about it a lot.

    Cintron-Margarito II is a beat down i agree, no top 10 there.

    Vazquez vs marquez 3
    Cotto vs Margarito
    Pacquaio vs Marquez 2
    Froch vs Pascal
    Casamayor vs Katsidis
    Adamek vs cunningham

    Been a little out of it this year so i can't think of anyothers off the top of my head. But Performance of the year to Manny v Oscar (even though I'd rather give it to Darrchinyan for his beat down to Mijares).

    Missed Dawson v Johnson. I originally had it at 10, then thought of another one but forgot to put it on my honorable mentions list. I thought Diaz-Campbell was a fairly ugly fight actually.

    Duddy / Smichet still gives me headaches ... There was some serious bombs being thrown.
