    So March 2008 has produced 3 certified FOTY Candidates, 2 arguable

    Vazquez/Marquez III = Fight of the Year Candidate
    Pacquiao/Marquez (Juan) II = Fight of the Year Candidate
    Casamayor/Katsidis = Fight of the Year Candidate
    Campbell/Diaz = One of the biggest upsets in recent history
    Vera/Lee= A very significant upset

    i cant remember a month like this in recent memory. The momentum is up right now, lets hope April brings up some good boxing action. Hopefully Tarver and Hopkins make fights out of their bouts. I could excuse Hopkins though cuz I'm VERY curious to see how he isolates Joe Cal's game plan even if it were to be as boring as it was against Winky.

        i can't see april beating march. this month has been the best for boxing in long time. I don't think there has been a month in boxing so action packed since September 1981

        calzaghe hopkins will not be an epic. it could be good at stages. tarver woods could be. woods has been in some epics

        clintron-marg has the potential to be a classic. up there with the magnifcence of march 08

        cotto wiill be a walk in the park for the rican

          fight of they year is marquez-vazquez. there is no competition to that fight. it was great for all 12 rounds and had a very dramatic ending that will be remember in boxing history.

                  I agree but i didn't like Pacquiao/Marquez like i did the others i don't know, i had the feeling the better fighter lost but he wasn't robbed, it's just that Pac didn't seem to get his game going and Marquez simply wasn't strong enough to win.
