Well it depends how you wanna see it,I don't think that the pacquiao/margarito was good at all..yes sure pacquiao gave him a hell of a beating but me personally I don't think that's interesting at all..a FOTY should be interesting and competitive that fight was one sides one man was taking all the beating,good performance by pac beating a slow washed up margarito but there was no counter punching what so ever,margarito was way to slow..now movement nothing at all.Jmm vs pac was good both man dished out and both men received.
I recommend the TS to watch Mares vs Perez.
You'll like that fight. :fing02:
I'm currently watching Segura calderon on youtube. I'll take a look at Mares vs Perez later. Thanks :D
You need two fighters to contribute to become fight of the year, How a can a one-sided beat down become fight of the year? I guess only in Pacland..lol
So which fight you got winning FOTY?

pac/marg played out the way everyone expected, one-sided beating. i dont consider that fight of the year. i dont have a clear front runner yet though. i'll wait till the end of the year
Then you don't watch boxing much at all do you? So what? It deserves FOTY because Marg came to win and gave it his all? That's his job buddy, nothing special about it - in fact the fight would've been better if it was stopped, the anti climax kicked in way before the fight ended. Sorry but having 12 rounds of getting your face smashed in isn't FOTY, it wasn't overly entertaining and wasn't exciting bar round 6. Fight was a joke from the beginning, I hope you didn't gain excitement from the 'OH Pac has the worst training camp so many distractions!! and Marg's BEST CAMP EVER' - I think people fail to forget that Marg did absolutely NOTHING at all after he got KO'd by Mosley.
Yup I dont want too much boxing, Im just a casual fan and not hardcore like most guys in this forums. So who you got winning the FOTY so far?
But Ring Magazine generally chooses fights that have sustained back & forth action and not just a one-sided pounding. Margarito showed heart but he did very little to even claim he won more than 2 rounds. His shining moment was a single bodyshot.
Take a look at the FOTY picks for the past decade.
2000 - Erik Morales W 12 Marco Antonio Barrera I — see Barrera vs. Morales trilogy
2001 - Micky Ward W 10 Emanuel Augustus
2002 - Micky Ward W 10 Arturo Gatti I
2003 - Arturo Gatti W 10 Micky Ward III
2004 - Marco Antonio Barrera W 12 Erik Morales III — see Barrera vs. Morales trilogy
2005 - Diego Corrales TKO 10 José Luis Castillo I
2006 - Somsak Sithchatchawal KO 10 Mahyar Monshipour
2007 - Israel Vázquez KO 6 Rafael Márquez II
2008 - Israel Vázquez W 12 Rafael Márquez III
2009 - Juan Manuel Marquez KO 9 Juan Diaz
They were fights where both men had several shining moments in the fight.
Yup, I agree with the both fighters having several shining moments during the fight. Those are unforgettable fights. but considering a ****ty year for boxing for 2010, We haven't really saw any war on par with any on those list...
The 2 fighters came out to fight. despite losing all rounds, marg came to win and was giving his all for 12 rounds. Dont know, but the fight is still the most entertaining and exciting I saw this year.

A one sided beat down fight of the year?
It still is entertaining. do you have any thoughts on fights this year that is more entertaining than Pac vs Marg?
You must be kidding right? Don't get me wrong, it was a great performance from Pac but the fight was NOT great. It wasn't a war, it wasn't competitive, it wasn't a great match up to begin with, it wasn't a worthy opponent. Martinez-WIlliams was far too short, lets wait for Khan-Maidana and Marquez-Katsidis. Pac-Marg was far far from FOTY, fights like Pac-Marquez and Pac-Morales 1 are FOTY quality.
