Can anyone remeber when we have had such a fantastic year in boxing?
The matches, the actual fights, the shocks..
through out almost all weights there have been major fights taken place or about to take place...
already we are just over half way through this year and it has been fantastic...
Still to come we got barrera v pac II
Calzaghe v kessler
Hopkins v wright
Mayweather v hatton
Magrito v williams
Rafa v isreal II
and a shit load more that will happen...
We are being treated.
Thank you UFC ;)
We've already had a damn good year of boxing, JMM v Barrera was a highlight for me, but the fight between De La Hoya and Mayweather was, despite what happened in the ring, a fight that had been clamoured for.
The only thing I would ask for is that British tv, even the minority channels show more boxing so I can watch more.
Ain't that the truth. You have to believe that the alphabet orgs and the shady judges are next in line to be corrected.Quote:

I've said it many times. There is nothing better for any type of organization or company than good stiff competition to drive you to excelQuote:

It's a Vintage year for the fight game 8)
The only downside for me is whenever someone gains more than one belt the bodies can't wait to strip them.This has been happening for a few years now but recently they get like a month then that's it.
Don't worry, I'm sure the boxing orgs have gotten the hint that the way they were doing business was cutting into their profits (god forbid they make a penny less than last year ::**). All you need to do is keep reminding them that boxing sales are going down and they'll do whatever it takes to fix the problem.
your damn straightQuote:

While it may not be the matchup of the century a shout out must also go to the first heavyweight unification match since 1999.Quote:

Love to see it but I reckon it's more likely at Heavy two or three years down the line.

but it cannot ever be considered a good year unless someone taks the belt that was NEVER earned and less deserved from magalini before the year is done
This year is not special to me unless by the end of it there is either one heavyweight champion or at least the two remaining champs have at least signed for a undisputed title match. Anything else would be second best.
Not sure about highlight of the year but definitely a sweet moment. Even better than when Danny Williams floored him.Quote:

Fantastic so far and a great weekend of boxing to come ;D
As meaningless a fight that it is, I'm also looking forward to Vargaz - Mayorga.
Add the Mayorga/Vargas press confrence to the list ;D ;D
