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.
