How would you sum up 2019 in a title for a boxing article? Why?

Sorry I'm not sure what you mean. I have a heap of fights that could be considered fight of the year. I think it was a very good year for boxing. Not perfect, but the quality was of a very high standrad in my opinion.

I agree. This year had multiple fights for hardcore fans. It wasn’t much of a year for the casual fan though. There weren’t any massive fights that I can remember. We got a light heavyweight unification in Beterbiev and Gvozdyk which was a good fight. We got a unification and great fight in Taylor and Prograis. We got another great fight against a good older fighter and great younger fighter in Inoue and Donaire. We got another FOTY candidate against two top welters in Spence and Porter.

So my headline would be something like:

The year of the hardcore fans

For a casual fan there were plenty of big fights. Joshua, Wilder, Canelo would surely all fit that bill?

I mean anything huge. There was no mayweather Pacquiao type fight. Wilder Fury was 2018 so there was no match up between Wilder Fury or AJ. There are always “big” fights for casuals every year, but nothing that significant. Wilder didn’t fight anybody big. AJ and Ruiz 2 was only pretty big because of the upset but not a huge fight. Canelo fighting Kovalev was pushed but again not a mega fight.

So maybe I should say there were no mega fights in 2019.
