2009, what a year for boxing!!!

[Piper the Great]

this year had the potential. the year started on point with fights to set up the summer& fall. wtf happened?

[DiLLiNGER]

will be bumping this thread after mayweather/marquez, hehe

its a no win situation for floyd,people not gonna be happy if he wins and no one is gonna give him credit in case of a victory,marquez is gonna be praised if he can pull off a win.

2009 is not good year cause we lost 3 great fighters.. (gatti, arguello, forrest)

[Gorgeous George]

the super 6 start off fights will save this year.....

That's what I was thinking. Too many deaths.

This year wasn't that bad, and it can get better as the year ends. We had Margo/Mosley, Marquez/Diaz, a quickie in May and we still have a whole bunch of high profile fights coming our way. Floyd/Marquez, the super middleweight tournament, Klitschko/Arreola, PWill/Pavlik, a possible Mosley fight in Dec. and a nondescript fight on November. The only bad thing this year is when we lost WNF, SoloBoxeo, the 3 boxing deaths (RIP) and Setanta Sports folding up, they were Europe's provider if you want your quick fix of boxing matches...

2008 had way better fights than this year, 2007 had way more meaningful fights than this year

2007 had
De La Hoya-Mayweather - highest grossing fight of all time
Mayweather-Hatton - two undefeated fighters, best welterweight vs. best jr. welterweight
Calzaghe-Kessler - two undefeated fighters, best 2 supermiddleweights
Taylor-Pavlik - two undefeated fighters, 2 of top 3 middleweights
Pacquiao-Barrera II - turned out to suck but a highly anticipated rematch
Marquez-Vazquez I and II - II was the fight of the year, I was really good too
Cotto-Mosley - two of the top 4 welterweights, great fight
Margarito-Williams - great welterweight fight featuring the other 2 of the top 5 not named Mayweather

2008 had 3 really great fights
1. Vazquez-Marquez III - best fight since Corrales-Castillo I
2. Cotto-Margarito - really good fight
3. Adamek-Cunningham - best cruiserweight fight since Mormeck-Bell I

Pacquiao-Marquez II was also a really good competitive fight



Mayweather-Marquez is a mismatch, plain and simple. Everything Marquez does, Mayweather does better. And Mayweather is bigger.
Pacquiao-Cotto became a joke with all the catchweight and diamond belt talk. It's not nearly as big now as it should have been.
