        donaire's last fight wasn't a big fight.

        His fight earlier this year against Montiel was a huge success, though.

        Still got Froch vs Ward and a number of other good fights.

        And there were plenty of good smaller fights such as:

        Ortiz vs Berto

        Brandon Rios vs Miguel Acosta & Antillon

        Pawel Wolak vs Delvin Rodriguez

        Hopkins vs Pascal II

        Felix Sturm vs Matthew Macklin

        Jorge Arce vs Wilfredo Vazquez Jr

        Lopez vs Salido

        Robert Guerrero vs Michael Katsidis

        Marquez vs Concepcion

        etc

          casual fans don't care about them fights.

          they see one disappointing fight on ppv and say boxing is dead

            This is why MMA is gaining lots of momentum. The best are fighting the best and most of the fights are entertaining with a good undercard. Something boxing is lacking more and more(apart from GB making decent undercards).

            P.S....this is about fighting sports in the U.S.

                    yeah, 2011 was a flop regarding big name performances. let's see if the last couple big fights of the year are decent.
