I've said it many times and i'll say it again how the hell did Spinks vs Ali 1 get FOTY ?? that was such a boring fight Ali just did nothing and layed on the ropes for most of the fight, the last round was great i'll admit but it doesn't make up for the other boring rounds with only 1 guy fighting, and i didn't find Young vs Foreman exciting either except for 7th and 12th rounds.

1981 although I agree with you Lee-LoCicero was a great fight. The Ring does not award fights of that caliber. If you notice it's always major fighters/fights that get the knod.

1994 I think it's an excellent choice it was an amazing and one of my all time favorite fights. Much better then Randall - JCC 1.

1999 is a perfect choice. Non-stop action and they traded shots from begining to end. Also Harris-Jefferson was awarded the Ring KO of the Year, which I agree it was a good fight but it was a great KO. Tapia-Ayala was a great fight.

2001 could IMO have had both Ward-Burton & Sellars-Carl as co-winners. Both great fights.

2003 also had Barrios-Freitas. Superb fight IMO.

2007 was a great year for boxing fans lot's of great fight. 2007 also had Ornelas-McKart II great action fight IMO, better then Pavlik-Taylor I.
Let's not forget Jaidon-Bika.

Thread Stealer thoughts on my post?

I haven't seen Ornelas-McKart 2. Bika-Codrington was very good, but I preferred Vazquez-Marquez 2 and Pavlik-Taylor 1.

Freitas-Barrios was good, I think round 11 won round of the year. I was pretty amazed by the consistent action of Gomez-Arthur though. Even after Arthur was badly hurt and it appeared he was done, he came back to rock Gomez a couple times, before Gomez came back to stop Arthur.

With 1994, it kind of depends on your preference. Randall-Chavez I was competitive and fairly close all the way through. Castro-Jackson I was more one-sided for most of the fight, but an amazing come from behind win. Either one is fine with me. I've never seen the rematch though.

It's true that the bigger name fighters sometimes win out at times over the more action-friendly fights between lesser fighters.
