          Some really great fights happened, It's pretty hard to choose one over the other.

            I'm thinking 2007. I remember it seemed every week a big fight was happening. There have been stretches of time (sometimes over a month) this year when we (or at least I) had nothing to look forward to. Like right now, I got Hopkins/Pavlik coming up, then after that, nothing really, other then my curiosity of the freak show that is ODH/Pacman

              With all the great upcoming matchups, 2008 will be better by the end of the year, unless there's a lot of cancellations:

              Molitor - Caballero
              Darchinyan - Mijares
              Pavlik - Hopkins
              Adamek - Cunningham
              Vitali - Peter
              Tarver - Dawson
              Wlad - Povetkin
              Pascal - Froch
              Haye - Barrett
              Garay - Braemer
              Jones - Calzaghe
              Hatton - Malignaggi

                and hopkins is gonna get completely ****d and get his career ended
                vazquez marquez 3 was an epic fight and margarito established himself as the most feared man on earth
                2007 biggest fight was a boring sparring contest beetwen dlh and floyd this year biggest fight was a mexican vs puerto rican all out war

                    Hatton - Malignaggi
                    The ones in bold are the only ones that are halfway decent for me. The rest do nothing.
