Re: 2020 Fight Of The Year!
Fury beating the hell out of Wilder should be the fight of the year.
Re: 2020 Fight Of The Year!
When you say fight of the year, what is your criteria? Generally it’s an exciting fight. To me, it’s no question Zepeda vs Baranchyk. The other one that was great but fell a little short of that was Estrada vs McArroyo.
Even if your criteria encompasses big fights (like Loma vs Lopez), I don’t see how AJ vs Pulev would be on that list at all. It was an overall boring fight and didn’t really mean much.
Re: 2020 Fight Of The Year!
If I go foty it's all about fighting and not the fluff ;D. Did Badou v Pascal get in this early year? That was a fun one. Really liked Estrada v Cuadras II, literal non stop two way action. Verdejo v Nakatani was brutal. Zepeda vs Baranchyk a literal game of whack-a-mole! Lubin v Gausha and Jacobs v Rosado deserve mention. Jk those were horrible ;D

Shoot I meant Estrada can Cuadras and not McArroyo. I don’t know why McArroyo came into my mind instead. That fight was great though.

No criteria.;D The fight you think was the best.
On AJ Pulev, I admit I watched the highlights- beginning to end! :rolleyes: several times, but not the entire match. I also took into consideration that AJ ended the fight in top fashion. Well IMO, that was how a HW champ stops a fight.

You probably shouldn’t rate a fight the FOTY while saying the criteria is “The fight you think was the best” if you haven’t even watched the fight.

Especially when you call me out for it, dayum! Hey man its been a slow year, few, fights, fewer worth watching. I'm guilty for #5 as well.
Seeing them ranked high, I tapered off after a few rounds, went for the Highlights. I did watch all of Lopez Loma, Zepeda vs Ivan Baranchyk & Usyk vs Chisora
Now that you've corrected me for the better feel free to name some fights!:cool:

No prob. Hope you didn’t take offense.
To me, Zepeda vs Baranchyk was the best fight hands down. Second was Estrada vs Cuadras (not McArroyo like I had said before). There weren’t tons of fights this year and I can’t think of another one which was good enough to be on the list (although I’m sure I’m missing a few).
Re: 2020 Fight Of The Year!
Zepeda vs Baranchyk is the obvious one, but somehow even though it was amazing it lacked something. Maybe just a crowd?
For me that's 3rd. Behind (2nd) Fury vs Wilder (I take into account the importance of the bout) and (1st) the one I'll remember 2020 for most, Davis vs Santa Cruz.

Was Fury and Wilder important just because of the hype around it? Because Charlo unified belts too. I get using the hype surrounding the bout as an indicator for FOTY but not as the main indicator. The fight was nowhere near action packed enough to be considered FOTY for me.
For me (I know that everyone has their own way of ranking these things), the excitement of the bout itself is the biggest indicator despite the hype surrounding the fight. If the fights are pretty even, then I will give it to the more “important” fight.
