    I watch sports to see the best go at it. The best ain't goin at it in boxing. Simple as that jack.
    So you haven't watched any fights this year then?

      I can tell your interestet level in boxing is limited.
      No, actually, he's right. I have been watching boxing since I was about 5. And I have to say, this is one of the worst years of my era.

      The monster line up you're talking about, came with too many lack luster fights in between.

      2011 should be way better than 2010.

          I think your memory is lacking. There were like 6 weeks straight earlier this year with cards that were all very relevant. Not saying all those fights were great excitement, but all very relevant.

          Last year was worse IMO. I remember people on this site talking about how great 2010 was going to be. I don't get the change. I have been very satisfied so far.

          Then again I view Pac/May as just another fight. Not a blockbuster fight of the century type of fight. It's to easy to predict. May by wide decision.

            Some of you guys are not getting the point. Compared to 2009, 2010 is a blow.

            From 2001-2010. what years would you say were the worst? 2010 has to be up there. Boxing was very fun in 2001-2006 even 07-08 had fun fights to watch.

            2009:
            Diaz-Marquez, Margarito-Mosley, Williams-Martinez, Berto-Collazo, Froch-Dirrell, Taylor-Abraham & Froch, Ward-Kessler, Bute-Andrade II, Williams-Wright, Bradley vs Peterson and Holt, Cintron-Martinez, Darchinyan-Arce, Pascal Diacanu I & II, Dawson vs Tarver II and Johnson II, Clottey-Cotto...Those are some of the free fights we were given last year.

            PPV fights
            Mayweather-Marquez, Pacquiao-Hatton, Pacquiao-Cotto, Lopez-Mtagwa(Top Rank PPV), Jones-Lacy(Square Ring PPV).

            See compared to 2009, 2010 is not an improvement by any means. Summer was really plain in boxing, and overall it looks like 2010 will be a forgettable year.

                2004-2006 were some lean years, 2010 is at that level.

                  Mayweather vs Pacquiao is the most overrated fight for as long as I been watching the sports

                  unbelievable how some people would base how good of a year boxing had just on this fight
