My favorite was Trinidad vs. Mayorga, that was one of the most exciting fights I have ever seen.

My worst was seeing two of my favorite fighters: Mike Tyson and Roy Jones get knocked out.

Fights of the year: Marquez vs. Pacquaio, Lacy vs. Vanderpool

Worst memories: Mayorga getting pounded, the entire Tyson-Williams card (bad 1st fight, horrendous women's 2nd fight and Iron Mike KO'd all for 44.95), Rico Hoye decision over Montell Griffin, sitting through John Ruiz vs. Fres Oquendo

Best memories: The two fights of the year, Tarver's pounding of Roy, De La Hoya hitting the canvas and crying like a girl when Hopkins whipped him like we all knew he would, Showtime's effort to step up their boxing telecasts, the introduction of boxing to FSN's Best Damn Sports Show, Wlad looking awful in both of his fights, Diego Corrales - Fighter of the Year.

Gotta add this in....
The trash talking Toney did on all of his interviews leading to the fight with the pudgey guy (can't even remember his name)

Yeah well so did Fres Oquendo..

P.S. I don't really consider the Golota vs. Byrd a robbery, though.

BEST: Watching hbo go of the air (the night RJJ got ktfo for the 2nd time) and seeing Jones still sitting on his stool trying to get himself together enough to leave the ring as doctors told him he needed to go to the hospital! And the other would have to be seeing Tarver ko roy in their re-match.

WORST: Augustus getting the screw job of the year, seeing once again how crooked this great sport can be sometimes ala DLH vs. Sturm! the state the hevyweight division is in and becoming as a whole is up there as far as bad goes!
