Theres been some descent fights this year. Some good some bad. But it seems to me this was another year of the fans not getting the fights they wanted. After a good 2012 and an even better 2013. How do rate boxing this year (even with the fights left on schedule)
To me its just been, meh.
Vote and discuss.
2013 was one of the best years. This year gets a 2/10 - All the postponements, fights not being made, bad decisions, stupid stoppages have made this the worst year I can recall.
Absolutely sucked overall but it has been a great year for British boxing!
Hopefully the year ends with a bang. Expecting stinkers but at least there is a few awesome fights lined up. Things can only get better.
From a sophisticated financial perspective this year has been a downer..
Floyd hasn't broken 1 mil buys in either fight
Showtime is about to go bankrupt
Manny has made barely enough money to cover the interest payments on his loans that he took out to give to charity
Al haymon still a baller, but is worried about a hostile takeover from mr. Knowles
Marquez wants money and a welter title but only if it means he doesn't fight manny
Fat dan is still fat
It's been the absolute drizzling sh*ts.
Hbo did give us
Froch-groves 2
Kovolev-Hopkins
Serg-cotto
Crawford-gamboa
Doanire-Walters
Not sure why you think they are inactive
Might have something to do with the fact that they've not run a single show in over two months.
4/10, too may good fighters inactive due to issues that has nothing to do with Inside of the ring: Mikey Garcia, Andre Ward, Chavez Jr...
Also have a damn Network that is inactive in HBO WTF!:nonono:
Not happy with Boxing this year but some good cards coming up, hopefully they finish strong

Froch groves was sweet,, I forgot about that
But with
Floyd and manny both not in any blockbusters
Ward is missing in action
Rigo cant land a meaningful fight
Mares pretty much did nothing
Danny Garcia hasn't done much
Mikey Garcia is missing in action
Stevenson hasn't done anything
Ggg can't land a big fight
Cruiserweight champs won't unify
Have to wait til November to get the first big heavyweight fight of the year
Lightweight is filled with boring fighters
No roman-Estrada 2
Ali raymi is getting dodged left and right
4/10
Slightly below average
Too many soft touches and not enough compelling fights
Lara-canelo
Hopkins-kovalev
Walters-donaire
Those are really the only three really interesting fights of the year
I also forgot to mention in my previous post that 2014 is closing out strong with some very solid match ups being made in the last quater.
GGG vs Rubio
Donaire Walters
Hopkins Kovalev
Crawford vs Beltran
Reveco vs Vor Saengthep
Yamanaka vs Sor Rungvisai
Bradley vs Chaves
Tanaka vs Hara
Gradovich vs Velez
Farenas vs Pedraza
And we would've seen Rosado vs Kirkland, but bum ass Kirkland pulled out.
Not even that bad. 2013 was a monster year though. I'm personally looking forward to November
