Your 2009 Fight Of The Year so far...

[CFH]

Dunne-Cordoba was more entertaining but in terms of all round greatness you`ll be hard pushed to find better than the marquez-diaz tussle


Anyone who saw kotelniks last outing will also tell you what a barnstormer that was

Why do you say that? Not that it's an indefensible position, but I found Marquez-Diaz much more entertaining than Dunne-Cordoba. Both were great fights though.

I'm gonna bump this thread every quarter of the year. Marquez-Diaz so far is getting lots of buzz for 2009 FOTY.

[SaltyBacon]

its jmm vs. diaz or dunne vs. corbada one of the two

I still have Marquez-Diaz as 2009 Fight of The Year. Berto-Collazo, and Mosley-Margarito are the next two IMO.

How could Mosley - Margarito be fight of the year? It was perhaps the one-siding ass kicking of the year, but in my mind FOTY's should be very closely contested, back and forth fights.

I agree but maybe he meant the fight that he enjoyed the most.

The Calzaghe Lacy fight was possibly the most one sided unification fight ever but it was far and away my fight of 2006

It really depends also if you like the fighters involved. I mean the fight I watched the most last year (three times) was bizarrely Roy Jones against Anthony Hanshaw, I just really enjoyed that fight, close, keenly fought and flashes of Jones Jr brilliance.

Fair enough, but as I understand it Fight of the Year is supposed to be an unbiased appraisal of the most exciting fight of the year. I'm not going to argue with someone about which fight they personally liked the best, but the FOTY, in my opinion, should be one in which there was great action from both fighters - thus ruling out Mosley-Margarito in my eyes.

[JonnyFolds]

I know where he is coming from saying Mosley-Marg was FOTY. I was on the edge of my seat. I couldn't believe what was happening. Mosley's display of skill was spellbinding. But, unfortunately this doesn't make for a FOTY. Someone who knows nothing about either of these fighters would view this as a mismatch if they didn't know the odds.

So Mosley gets

POTY (Performance of the year)
