Your favorite boxing year

Whatta treasure-trove of great shots -- could spend hours looking at them.

 

2002 deserves a shout.

Gatti-Ward 1 is added to the list of all time great fights

De la Hoya- Vargas was a classic grudge match that lived up to expectations

Dorin-Balbi 1 is a forgotten classic

So is Larios-Vasquez II

Lewis- Tyson breaks PPV records, and cements Lewis' status as the best heavyweight of his era

Two intriguing lightweight clashes between Mayweather Jr. and Castillo

Vernon Forrest beats the p4p best fighter in the world, Mosley, like a drum in their first fight, and defeats him in the rematch as well.

Barerra scores victories over Morales in their second fight, and Tapia as well.

Rafael Marquez stops Mark Too Sharp Johnson and Tim Austin to become the man at bantamweight.

 

I'll say, in my lifetime, 1971. It was the year of the Fight of the Century, but it was also a year where you had GREATS like Bob Foster, Carlos Monzon, Jose Napoles, Ken Buchanan, and Ruben Olivares showcasing their skills.
