[KILLA RIGHT]

rodriguez vs gatti comes to mind first

[TredKiller]

name some gr8 fights not on that list, ill start

Duran Vs Leonard 1

[Thread Stealer]

1977: Matthew (Franklin) Saad Muhammad-Marvin Johnson 1.

Watch this fight and then try to claim that Foreman-Young was the rightful winner.

1978: Larry Holmes-Ken Norton

Better HW fight than Ali-Spinks 1.

1979: Matthew (Franklin) Saad Muhammad-Marvin Johnson 2

1981: Caveman Lee-John LiCicero.

Wild brawl with much, much more consistent action than Leonard-Hearns 1.

1982: Aaron Pryor-Alexis Arguello 1

1989: Evander Holyfield-Michael Dokes

1992: Michael Moorer-Bert Cooper

1994: Frankie Randall-Julio Cesar Chavez 1

1996: Arturo Gatti-Wilson Rodriguez, Marco Antonio Barrera-Kennedy Mckinney, Rid**** Bowe-Andrew Golota 2, Frankie Liles-Tim Littles 2.

All more worthy of FOTY than the good but overrated clinchfest that won FOTY.

1999: Derrick Jefferson-Mo Harris

2000: Felix Trinidad-Fernando Vargas

2003: Alex Arthur-Michael Gomez, James Toney-Vassily Jirov.

Both more worthy of FOTY than the third Gatti-Ward.

2005: Miguel Cotto-Ricardo Torres

2008: Antonio Margarito-Miguel Cotto

Im sorry. I was under the impression the thread title was list fights that were NOT fights of the year. I'm pretty sure several of the fights listed were fight of the year.
