    After watching this vid I believe most of the fights this year didnt live up to their hype.



    Bradley vs Alexander
    Cotto-Mayorga
    Klitschko-Haye
    Mosley-Pac
    Abraham-Ward
    Froch-Johnson

    All this fights werent really exciting and will never become classics
    anyone who didn't think bradley/alexander was gonna be boring doesn't know boxing. But that fight had to happen to clear up the picture at 140 lbs.

    it's obvious that cotto is gonna become a boxer more now that steward is on his team. But cotto has lost a step, I expected him to stop mayorga sooner, tho mayorga is an awkward fighter.

    haye is a runner and a coward. what else is there to say.

    Mosley got hit and ran for his life. what else is there to say.

    all of ward's fights are more or less boring thanks to his style.

    Johnson just doesn't have the stamina anymore to push his opponents like before.

            Had to bump this. Try to reflect the last fights of our top 5 p4p boxers right now.

            Pacquiao-Mosley
            Mayweather-Ortiz
            Martinez-Barker
            Donaire-Narvaez
            Marquez-Ramos

            And then you have someone like Hopkins who WAS on his way to getting Fighter of The Year this year.

              I think there are only two fights that can save this year, but two fights is not enough. Ward-Froch, which I doubt will save 2011. I think that fight will be dirty, a lot of frustration involved and we will see Ward and Froch get in to a street fight in the ring. Either that or Ward cruises through a clear decision. Then you have the battle of the B class fighters, Cotto vs Margarito II, which in terms of action, it could make for a good fight.
