Hbo Has this on there sight. For Anyone to think that Mosley vs Margartio or Pacquiao vs Hatton is Fight of the Year is delusional..
What do you think is the leading candidate so far for "Fight of the Year?"
Mosley-Margarito 25%
Marquez-Diaz 32%
Pacquiao-Hatton 38%
Berto-Castillo 3%
Chris John-Rocky Juarez 2%
My answer is Juan Manuel Marquez vs Juan Baby Bull Diaz....2nd place Berto vs Collazo 3rd Carl Froch vs Jermain Taylor...What do you guys got...
1) Juan Manuel Marquez KO9 Juan Diaz
2) Carl Froch TKO12 Jermain Taylor
3) Bernard Dunne TKO11 Ricardo Cordoba
4) Miguel Cotto SD Joshua Clottey
5) Brian Viloria KO11 Ulises Solis
6) Marcos Maidana TKO6 Victor Ortiz
7) Andre Berto UD Luis Collazo
8) Jean Pascal UD Adrian Diaconu
9) Nate Campbell MD Ali Funeka
10) Luis Carlos Abregu KO4 Irving Garcia
It's been a pretty good year so far despite all the cancellations, but Marquez-Diaz is still #1 in my eyes.

Nice list..I forgot about the FUneka/Campbell match. I had Funeka winning.
close call between dunne cordoba and jmm diaz, but i prefer the dunne fight. The irish commontators also give it the edge in the enjoyment factor.
"he's so laid back he could be horizontal"
1 second later
"Big left hand, and u were talking about him being horizontal!!!"
not an exact quote but close enough

Thats a nice list. I was about to give Viloria-Solis some shine. That was an incredible fight.
My favourite fight so far is Ortiz-Maidana ive watched it at least 5 times but JMM-Diaz is the FOTY so far.
Katsidis-Chavez and Escobedo-Hernandez deserve a mention as well.
1)I still think it should be Mosley Vs Margarito,very few people gave Mosley a chance to win. 2)JMM Vs Diaz
wouldn't that be more along the lines of "upset of the year"? like a lot of others, i think it was too one-sided to be fight of the year.
at this point, i'm still going with marquez vs. diaz.
1) Dunne-Cordoba
2) Ortiz-Maidana
3) JMM-Diaz
4) Abregu-Garcia (if they were name fighters you would have it #1)
5) Berto-Collazo
Pac-Hatton and Mosley-Margarito were one sided beatdowns, not competitive fights with real ebb and flow. I can't believe anyone can justify picking those.
Pacquiao-Hatton may be the KO of the year, but as the fight of the year it is a joke. JMM-Diaz by a comfortable margin at this point. With a better ending Maidana-Ortiz would have been very close.
1)Dinamita Marquez vs. Baby Bull Diaz, 2)Berto vs. Collazo, 3) Miguel Angel Cotto vs. Joshua Clottey... Mosley vs. Margarito is up on the list as well..
Pac Hatton, Mosley Margarito were both One-sided...and can't qualify for foty in my opinion.
JMM-Diaz, Dunne V Cordoba, Berto Collazo are all strong contenders (with Berto Collazo being the weakest of a great three)
I think Taylor Froch was not an exciting fight save for the 12th round.
