2. Fight of the year: Pacquiao vs Marquez II for it's significance, rivalry, and changes in momentum.

3. Round of the year: Arreola vs Walker (I'll go with a longshot)

4. Knockout of the year: Miranda KO Banks. Has anyone checked if Banks is alive from that?

5. Upset of the year: Hopkins over Pavlik. No one had Bernard winning that fight.

6. Comeback fighter of the year: Vitali Klitschko. He's hasn't fought in years and destroyed the second best heavyweight in the world.

7. Event of the year: "The Dream Match": De La Hoya vs Pacquiao

8. Worst fight of the year: Klitschko vs Ibragimov

9. Prospect of the year: TBD

10. Robbery of the year: Lorenzo DQ win over Soto

People say that the JMM vs Pac 2 was one of the better fights there was, so why not for the year 2009, a longshot but deserved nevertheless?

The David Diaz knockout was the most thoughtfully set up and delivered punch to end a fight. Not of the devastating variety but the most beautifully executed. Imagine if the fight got longer... what endangerment it could have been for David Diaz. This was just one of those personal choice and not one that I aimed for agreement nor popularity.

Error from previous post above.... Why not 2008, ..... not 2009 as texted.

Alright people make sure you complete ALL your votes...


You only have a few days left... Make your vote count. :cool:

I have no idea who to vote for regarding prospect of the year.

I had a hard time deciding as well! I ended up just settling for someone. I feel so many of the "big" prospects have such flaws that I couldn't single one out. I honestly couldn't tell you off the top of my head who I voted for...

I'm not sure whether this is a category, but...

"Fight That Left the Biggest Smile on Your Face - 2008"

My vote... Pacquaio-DLH

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

1.Fighter of the year--Had picked Margarito but in all reality choosing Pacquioa who went on a tear.Tony should have made a fight this year off off Cotto momentum.
2.Fight of the year--Going with Rogers Mtagwa TKO 10 Tomas Villa.I know,Izzy and Marquez went to war,unending respect but nothing like watching these two come out of no where,with no history and no build up...and watching that carnage unfold like that.

3.Round of the year--Personal fav Margarito vs. Cotto round 7.

4.Knockout of the year--tons come to mind but going between Fernando Montiel destruction over Martin Castillo.EDIT,my pick.

5.Upset of the year--Timothy Bradley W.12 Junior Witter.Alllllll the talk of Hatton/Witter and then.......POOF

6.Comeback fighter of the year--Have to go with Vitali.all things considered

7.Event of the year--Edit...have to go with Delahypa and Pac.What ever my opinion of the circus,it was indeed an event that generated unending discussion,debate and mass headlines.

8.Worst fight of the year--EDIT....rewatched Wlad vs. Ibragimov,I made it to the 6th round.My vote for worst of year.

9.Prospect of the year--...Urbano Antillon.Is ranked numero uno but has yet to face a top ten type,a prospect to me.He'll do very well!

10.Robbery of the year--Joe Cortez vs. Humberto Soto and the inevitable


Will change a bit but will be final by the deadline

With a whole 1 1/2 hours left,fini ;D
