Was 2004 a good boxing year or bust?

[killallliberals]

Has 04 been better than say 00-03?
Vitali winning in a great fight. Finally an interesting champ.
Jones getting demolished is wonderful
Vlad falling apart in a bizare manner
Mayorga 'the criminal rapist ******er of young girls' getting retired was great.
It would be nice to see him come back and fight delohoya or something and given brain damage (that way he cant **** any young girls, like some of you think is so manly)
Trinidad showing he could be hopkins
Delahoya getting his pretty boy butt beat was great.
Hopkins easily top 8 or 5 middleweight ever.
Golota coming back and rebuilding his rep.
James toney being a loud obnoxious piece of ****** crap, doing nothing worth **** except beating a loser and tearing tendons.

Good, I am glad we agree.
No matter who we pull for or argue about it was a great and fun year.
I am so sick of the media and people saying boxing is dead and on par with wrestling.
Greatest sport there is, and most entertaining.
What would you rather do, sit and watch rich privliged nerds hit little white balls
Or watch inbred, white trash, scumbag lowlifes drive in circles.
Or watch boring as hell baseball and basketball.
College football and boxing is where its at.

I guess you're not familiar with the De La Hoya **** allegations that surfaced earlier in his career either. I'm not defending Mayorga, but I'm not jumping on a 20-year old (legal in every country) hooker. Hookers have sex for a living. This one apparently wants paid better than her normal hourly rate.

To answer your actual question, though, it's been a good year for boxing. New stars have stepped up, there have been a handful of fight of the year candidates, name fighters are scheduling name fighters, which was not the norm just a few years back. Fighters seem to be inviting potential losses instead of running from them, realizing that the quality of your opponent impacts your legacy.

We weren't having these megafights as the new millennium came around. This has been a good year.

Agreed...and NFL/college football.

[phallus]

it's been a good year, the big names are taking more chances, and man, don't forget the return of Tito, and Ike Quartey coming out of retirement!

exactly, boxing and basketball, does Socom online count as a sport?

Any year when boxing is on is a good year.
