This year has been one of the poorest years for boxing.

[Check]

5-6 bigtime fights in 6 months aint bad..plus boxing aint only about the big fights..i watch all boxing so imo its been a great year of boxing for real hardcore fans..maybe bad for casual fans but **** em

Yeah but even the boxing after dark series and shobox have taken a step back. Shobox used to be on atleast twice a month but now it seems like its closer to once every two months. I hate to admit this but I think ESPN has done the best job with the money that they have allocated into the sport. Having Lara, Korbov, Gamboa, and Jacobs has made their fights exciting. They may not be facing the top fighters but in my eyes seeing them grow and show off their skills has been more exciting then see HBO/SHO only spend money when they have a chance to make good profits. The inactivity of these networks is frustrating if you ask me.

It just hasn't got going, really.

There have been some really good fights (think they were all this year, correct me if I'm wrong) -

JMM vs Diaz
Pac vs Hatton
Froch vs Taylor
Pascal vs Dianconu
Cotto vs Clottey
Berto vs Collazo
Mosley vs Maragarito
Adamek vs Cunningham

But all the postponements, and the big gaps between fights (last year seemed to have a decent fight nearly every week) has been annoying. Especially as this year was projected to be a stellar year.

But with Pac vs Cotto, Haye vs Wlad possibly being revived, and Floyd coming
back, it should get better.

[Check]

Within 6 days of one an other, we saw Miguel Cotto vs Joshua Clottey in front of 19,000 (a fight of the year candidate) and Jean Pascal vs Adrian Diaconu in front of 13,000. Your comment is just ******!

Yeah and over the next two months how many events like that do you have? Two, maybe three.
