1. Pac. And it is not even close.
2. Tony - Cotto
3. Vazquez - Marquez III, round 12.
4. Miranda - Banks
5. Manny TKO'ing Oscar.
6. Riddick Bowe (just kidding: Answer is Vitali).
7. Evander Holyfield finally retires (one can hope - if not I'll say Tony-Cotto)
8. I hate mismatches in the ring more than chess matches in the ring so, inspired by a poster above, I'll go with Pongsashit (thanks Mick) - Sutton.
9. Juan Manuel Lopez
10. Does 'just about every single match in the olympics' count as an answer in this award show? If not, I'll go with Bute-Andrade.

Re: *** Saddos 2008 Boxing Awards ***
1. Fighter of the year: Pacquiao
Hands down this guy probably has figter in the year in his cards for the next 2 years with all the potential fights in front of him
2. Fight of the year: Cotto V Margarito
I think my own excitement over this fight made more exciting than it may have been.
3. Round of the year: Torres V Holt
I hate how Holt got so much credit over a headbutt
4. Knockout of the year: Casa V Kats
This was also on my list of fight of the year, I thought it was an exciting fight
5. Upset of the year: Hopkins V Pavlik
I agree with a previous poster, it was the manner in which Hopkins did it.
6. Comeback fighter of the year: Hopkins
Although he looked pretty good against Calzaghe, he did a 180 degree flip on Pavlik
7. Event of the year: Cotto V Margarito
Although for the general public I know ODLH V Pac was the bigger "event" I think more true boxing fans were very very excited about this fight.
8. Worst fight of the year: Wlad/ Rahman
Further cementing the crappiness of this division
9. Prospect of the year: Victor Ortiz
I dont know why I like this guy but good power, good speed, and good boxing ability and he is very marketable.
10. Robbery of the year: Andrade V Bute
Even my girlfriend was upset at this.
Re: *** Saddos 2008 Boxing Awards ***
I'm assuming this thread will have a lot of changed answers when it comes to robbery of the year after the Holyfield/Valuev backlash.

1. Fighter of the year: Manny Pacquiao Three weight divisions, three wins
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
I think I'll put Chris Arreola as my prospect of the year. Don't ask, I really couldn't decide so I settled.

1. Fighter of the year - Haye
2. Fight of the year - Pac-Marquez 2

5. Upset of the year - Pac-Oscar
6. Comeback fighter of the year - Ricky Hatton

9. Prospect of the year - Jamie Cox
10. Robbery of the year - Soto- Lorenzo
