FOTY candidates are for those big bouts only. Which means it involves high ranking fighters with much money involve.
what?! :eek:
hear ye, hear ye
....this classic post just shows how stoo**d these Pacquiao nuthuggers are.
excatly what i had in mind.
The problem it was televised in USA or in Britian but in France that is why no one knows how good this fight.
both fought a good fight with on left hook and the other one with uppercut
Ya, I believe the fight is on youtube.com. But there is still alot of people who have not seen that fight here in the U.S. They are missing out.
Sithchatchawal vs Monshipour. This fight should be in the lead for fight of the year. Awesome fight!

I'd have to say Morales/Pacqiuao II at the moment. I'v not seen that one with the guys' with the weird names that Dozo keeps mentioning, so I can't comment.
Rivera W 12 Garcia on SHOWTIME for the WBA 154 title? :) :)
Scully is absolutely right and it's a crying shame I forgot it. I went out of my way to DL this fight just the other day.
1) Brewster-Liakhovich
2) Mormeck-Bell
3) Garcia-Rivera
Since when? It's called FOTY not elite boxers fight of the year. I don't care if its 2 bums fighting in a ring in the street as long as its entertaining and its boxing it can be FOTY. Furthermore this fight was totally amazing and was a high quality fight that was also really exciting. This fight is on the level of a Gatti-Ward bout, and as has already been mentioned these guys are actually more highly regarded in their division than either Gatti or Ward at the time of their fight.
Exactly.
Not only that, but this fight was for the WBA title. It was a title fight.
When you think about how so many people are throwing out Brewster vs Lyakovich, it's quite funny to hear this fight scoffed at.
What makes 'elite' fighters? Fighting on US television?
:rolleyes:
these guys are unknown. Fight of the year are for those Elite level fighters.

Once again, they are top rated in their division, and well known in their own countries.
Ward and Gatti had this distinction several times, and they are FAR from Elite level.
If Ward and Gatti can be fight of the year, so can these guys. They are easilly higher ranked in their own division than either Ward or Gatti was at the time of their fights.
Being ignorant to who they are doesn't make their fight any less astonishing.
Watching it, it speaks for itself.
Every month this topic comes up, and so many people neglect to mention Sithchatchawal vs Monshipour, which is FAR AND AWAY fight of the year so far.
Nothing else has come close.

Im currently undecided on which fight I would have as FOTY.But here is a few good ones.
-Sergei Lyakovich VS Lamon Brewster
-Juan Manuel Marquez VS Terdak ???
-Kermit Cintron VS David Estrada
-Vivian Harris VS Stevie Johnson
-Jean Marc Mormeck VS O'neil Bell
I guess my pick would be between Lyakovich/Brewster,Cintron/Estrada,and Mormeck/Bell.
The fights I can think of off the top of my head that I really enjoyed would be.......Brewster/Lyakovich , Winky/Taylor , Barrera/Jaurez and I am sure there are many more I just can't think of them at the moment.
Why in thw world are people picking wright - taylor or tarver - hopkins? They were both rather boring fights in my opinion.
Lacy - Calzaghe was way too one sided to even be mentioned. Lacy was outclassed times a billion, thats not FotY material.
Malignaggi - Cotto was a hell of a fight but that is due more to the WTF factor in that Malignaggi fought the complete opposite of was expected and did well.
I dont think this fight will win but its better than most of the fights that have been recommended in this thread but Juarez - Barerra was entertaining.
Taylor/Wright & Tarver/Hopkins might have been lackluster but they were great fights, but I'd have to agree my choice would be Barrera/Juarez
