    gotta agree. this is what we get when wet put good fighters in the ring that are comprable. not dudes jumping 2-3 weight classes up to fight somebody.

      Mayweather/De La Hoya? Are you on crack?

      ....but like Easy-E said,"The fight was too one sided to be FOTY."

        I didnt see it as 1 sided,they both were landing KO punches that had me jumping up and down lol,but Pavlik was more controlled,backing of Miranda,it wasnt 1 sided,Pavlik was just better

          Like I said, obviously this was the more exciting fight, but mayweather/dlh did set the ppv record and had a lot of implications and a ton of hype going into it. That kind of stuff is significant, just look at some past foty winners, namely the fight it most closely resembled: hagler/leonard.

              Miranda won MAYBE 1 round.
              Lost 5 rounds and was knocked down 3 times.
              Thats one sided.

                I understand where your coming from but the fight was too dull to be considered FOTY.

                  No both guys were throwing and landing but Pavlik was throwing more, landing more and his shots affected Miranda more.
                  He controlled the ring, landed cleaner shots and had a better D.

                    That fight was aamazing. Me and my friend (who dosnt even watch much boxing) were jumping up and down and screaming at the TV when Pavlik knocked Miranda down. What a war, Pavlik is the ****in man, also respect to Miranda for taking some huge shots and still gettin up, with some defense he could be a champion. I wanna see Pavlik knock Taylor's head off.

                      It was the best fight I've seen so far this year. From the beginning they were trying to knock each other out and there was not a boring moment in the entire fight. I watched the twice, live on a little 2" screen on my computer and then a delayed broadcast on my 50 " Plasma HD TV on TSN here in Canada. I wish I could watch it again tonight!
