    Yeah, Cotto-Clottey and Froch-Taylor were both good match-ups.

    Upcoming ones

    Pac-Cotto = mega

    Marquez-Floyd = good-ish/semi-mega

    Vitali-Arreola = good/mismatch

    Haye-Valuev = good/interesting

    Dawson-Johnson = good/interesting

    Froch-Dirrell, Taylor-Abraham = very good.

    Bute-Andrade = good.

    Can't think of any others. There must be more?

    I was thinking this the other day - agree, its been pretty poor.

    hopefully the next four months will make up for it

    Not a good year up to this point. Cotto v Pac will make up for it.

    Yeah I was thinking the same thing myself. I just hope the 2nd half of year comes through and no injuries occur with the super 6 PBF vs JMM and the heavyweight titles. Watch Lacy vs Jones be the highlight of the year.

    Boxing in 2009 has been pretty crappy but 90% of the people on this forum had a major problem with the Cotto-Pacman fight because it's a catchweight at 145.

    Imagine if that fight was scrap and what would be the biggest fight? Floyd-Marquez where it's an absolute mismatch?

    Yeah, not the best of years. Hopefully the Super Six thing is a huge success and spawns similar thingys.

    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    If you are strictly talking in terms of monies, then yeah not that great. But there have been plenty of quality fights.

    Mosley/Margarito
    Froch/Taylor
    Darchinyan/Agbeko
    Solis/Viloria
    Marquez/Diaz

    and many more, if I was just given a chance to think (at work so brain is officially off)
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
