The 2004 Fight of the Year

[mr. bojangles]

Trinidad/Mayorga was an exciting, one sided beating. Paquiao/Marquez was a heart stopping war. Pac/Marquez is fight of the year, and i highly doubt that any of the VERY promising fights ending this year will top it. It was classic.

I agree. Trinidad-Mayorga was exciting but the competition IMO lasted only 2 rounds, the other rounds was 1-sided. Pacquiao-Marquez was very close all through out except the 1st 2 rounds. Unless the upcoming Morales-Barrera 3 turns out to be similar in excitement and action as the 1st, it should be Pac-JMM for FOY.

Morales-Barrera III might not be as explosive as their 1st two encounters. I think Morales will KO Barrera into retirement....

Could be, but the "no mas" leaves a lot of questions lingering....

I never liked Corrales much so the "no mas" made it even better for me. But I think Corrales-Freitas is the fight of the year because Freitas dominated the early rounds but Corrales didnt give up and kept walking him down and got it done. Pacquio-Marquez is a close second though.

baserocks, its only my opinion but I don't think a "NO MAS" fight can be fight of the year, and I still think Pac-JMM is the leading fight of the year candidate, and Trinidad-Mayorga second, I also have to wait what fight EM-MAB III & Castillo-Casamayor will produce...

asian storm, my opinion on the EM-MAB III, I think it will be a barn burner of a fight and the underdog MAB will show us some surprises, hope it will be a good fight....

All fights have been great (except Tarver vs. Jones II, too short), but Pacquiao vs. Marquez is my favourite. Fantastic comeback by Marquez after that devatating first round .

I will say it as many times as it takes.....Sheika-Pemberton was the fight of the year.

Hopkins vs. De La Hoya was my favourite one so far..
I also liked Mayweather vs. Corley.

Do you drink heavily while you watch fights ?

Pac-Marquez. Regardless of whether you think JMM won, his fortitude was amazing, and Manny also displayed his trademark power and fighting spirit. Trinidad-Mayorga was entertaning but minus the 1st round and it was a pretty one-sided beatdown, not the Hearns-Hagler people have been saying it is . . . .

I don't see your point, alcohol is a depressant.
