    Probably Dunne Cordoba for me, the fight was brilliant and the atmosphere incredible with the underdog winning by sensational ko.

    It has to be Marquez-Diaz, that was truly phenomenal to watch

    I'd have that one at #2. It was a great fight, but it doesn't compare to Marquez - Diaz in terms of action and excitement, the quality of fighters, importance, and scope.

    It's hard to choose between JJM vs. Juan Diaz and Mosley vs. Margarito, i'd put Berto vs. Collazo at #3.

    Marquez-Diaz without any real question, there was no holding and the skill level was unbelievable, exchanges were unbelievable and it had a great ending with a lot of ebb and flow. Best fight since Cotto-Margarito imo.

    Id probably plump for Bernard Dunne v Cordoba. Other fights I really enjoyed this year unmentioned so far are Campbell v Funeka, Rogan v Skelton and Quigley v Dodson.

    I was going to say Cunningham vs Ademek but I think that fight might have taken place right at the end of 2008 can't remember though.

    I don't think there's even a debate at this point.

    Marquez-Diaz is FOY until proven otherwise.

    Yeah hard to disagree with that I just enjoyed the Bunne Cordoba fight more.

    It helps maybe that he's almost British and that his fights draw arguably the best crowds in all of boxing. The atmosphere in Dublin is incredible especially when you compare it the rather soulless casino's in America.

    I just love the epic Gladiator style music and how it then morphs into the old Irish folk stuff, his entrances are great and a Dunne vs Molitor fight in Dublin would probably be in my top 3 potential fights for 2009, would love to see that, I'd even consider going to Dublin for it.

    I'd love to see that fight, though who knows what the shit-kicking Caballero gave him took out of Molitor.
