Has 2008 been a bad year for Boxing?

[trfcdan86]

Has it?

I mean I can only think of a three FOTY candidates, Margarito - Cotto, Marquez - Pac-man and Vasquez - Marquez.

Compared to the last 3 years I think 2008 has been the year of the boring fight!

Fights such as; Pavlik v Taylor II, Klitschko v Ibragmiov, Tarver v Woods, Calzaghe v Hopkins, De la Hoya V Forbes, Jones v Trinidad and Clottey v Judah have failed to live up to their billing and have not been very good.

Do you agree?

pavlik- taylor was a preety good fight

calzaghe hopkins was ok, i mean come on it a slapper vs someone with a boring style ( and i like b hop!)
jones-trinidad was alright i didn't like it as much

marquez vs. vazquez made 2008 for me. no question that is fight of the year.

No it wasnt bad for boxing. Inconsistant? Yes.

March was amazing. Vera/Lee, Marquez/Vasquez, Campbell/Diaz, Katsidis/Casamayor, and Marquez/Pacquiao were all great fights. Then it got slow until Cotto/Margarito, and it's been slow again until a good fall. It's about to pick up big time with interesting fights every week until 09.

Best time to be a sports fan imo with Football coming back.

i think 2008 has been a great one so far......too many fights made, specially upsets

[The Hammer]

It's been a very good year so far, but it's going to be an even better fall.

There's about 20-25 excellent matchups coming up between now and early December.

[The Gully Gad]

I think its been a good year
plus we still got Marquez/Casamayor,Guzman/Nate Oscar/Pac (Boxingscene regulars throw tomarto's and cabbage at gully) and Mosley/Mayorga...

I agree with fero you suck at making threads
