    I vote Holyfield-Tyson. I just fail to see why this fight was so god damn exciting for most people. Way too many clinches for a FOTY, and it was pretty one-sided IMO.

    Honorable mention goes to Quiroga vs. Anifowoshe and Gatti vs. Ruelas.

      Hard to vote for a worst FOY, but I picked Ayala-Tapia because they were both light punchers. A good fight, but definitely not a great one.

        I voted for Holyfield-Tyson. I think it got voted FOTY because of the occasion more than the fight itself.

          I need to rewatch Ayala-Tapia. I was in the car with my parents, and my dad was driving through the mountains, so I was feeling majorly car-sick. It is hard to enjoy anything when you feel that ****ty.

                    I personally thought his career was held back (much like Meldrick Taylor's) by his inability to try to just win on points. He always had to war with people.

                    Not healthy, but it is the reason they both were involved in an FOTY!
