Did 2008 suck?

[johnkraus]

The year is pretty much over, a few decent fights left. But how was 2008? It goes out with a ****, with it's biggest fight in December, but as a whole I don't think it was as good as 2007. Cotto-Margarito was awesome, as was JMM-Pacquiao, Pavlik showed promise against Taylor as a middleweight, Hopkins shows he's still got it, but not much more exciting big fights. A lot of old guys fighting for a paycheck. The heavyweights continue to suck. Hopefully 2008 will be the last time Roy, Oscar, Bowe, Toney, and Holyfield fight, so they don't hurt their legacies or themselves any more. I think 2008 wasn't so great, BUT, it leads up to an awesome 2009.

I enjoyed it

2008 was honestly one of the worst. Of the major fights there really was only Cotto v Marg and Pac V Marquez. It failed compared to 2007. I think 2009 will be a very good year though.

There wasnt enough fights that had big time drama. Which big fights other than Cotto/Marg got you on the edge of your seat? The coming out party for Pacquaio and the Vaz V Marq were both great though.
