No one has mentioned Mosely vs Margarito in this thread yet, it was in 2009 although it seems old now since it was at the start of year, but I still think it was one of the best of the year.

Too one sided although it was a very good performance.

How about Matt Skelton vs Martin Rogan ? a suprisingly good Heavyweight fight. Surely that has to be a candidate for the best Heavyweight fight of the year ?

. Fight of the Year: Bernard Dunne vs. Ricardo "Maestrito" Cordoba.

Dunne was dropped and hurt badly twice in the fifth round while his Panamanian opponent was decked in the third and then three times more in the eleventh round after which the fight was finally stopped in front of a roaring crowd in Dublin.

Runner-up: Ricardo "Mochuelo" Torres vs. Raul Pinzon

Decked in the first, fourth and seventh rounds, Torres was well behind going into the 10th and last round. Needing a stoppage, the Colombian bomber (are there any other kind) did a gut check and floored a gassed Pinzon three times in an amazing final round, The end came at 2 minutes and nine-seconds into the final stanza of this Barranquilla Barnburner.

Honorable mention:

Paul Williams vs. Sergio Martinez; a great bout fought at an uncommonly high skill level.

Paul Samuels vs. Cello Renda in a Brit dust up that featured a crunching double knockdown and brutal back and forth until Samuels stopped Renda in the fourth round of a true closet classic.
