Was 2011 a bad Year for Boxing?

[turbotime]

right there with you.....sadly, the fan boys run wild, and thats all they care about.

Why don't you just not worry about what *****s say? No need to point it out in every thread steering it even more off track.

Trust us, we all know the agenda.

it wasnt great, but i still enjoyed it.... i had higher hopes for it considering the matchups but we've had worse years at least...

People choose to pay attention to the bad fights and ignore the good ones.

Go watch
Wolak vs Rodriguez 1
Marquez vs Concepcion 1
Rios vs Acosta
Maidana vs Morales
Alvarado vs Presoctt
Berto vs Ortiz

etc etc etc

and tell me how this was a bad year.

Oh and there are still quite a few big fights left.

A lot of the big fights this year didn't live up to the hype, but a lot of the other fights were some best fights. FNF put on some really good fights this year. Props to FNF. There was some pretty good HBO and Showtime fights as well.

All our biggest fight's this year were disappointments. Hopkins fight, Ortiz vs Mayweather, Pac vs JMM, and the NYC Stoppage for Margarito. In my opinion we've had better years. This was a bad year.

Pac JMM was not disappointing. The decision was but the fight was good. I had fun watching the fights this year. I went to Vegas to watch Mosley and Pac stink out the joint but I still had fun. The only thing I'm disappointed in is that Bob Arum is still running TR.

one of the worst years most definitely. it started well with berto-ortiz, rios-acosta, cotto-mayorga, morales-maidana, then a long stretch of **** with
vitali-solis ,1st rd. stoppage
pac-mosley, **** fight
khan-mccloskey ,domestic bs stoppage
wlad-haye, **** fight that eradicated hayetards
khan-judah, low blow aka judah took a dive
pw-lara, robbery of the decade
berto-zaveck, headclash+bs stoppage
floyd-ortiz, sucker punch
vitali-adamek, mismatch
hopkins-dawson ,win by a mma move
pac-marquez III ,well not bad i guess but it produced waves of butthurt
wlad-mormeck, mismatch

then we got kirk-angulo and c/m - good fights, ward-froch and khan-peterson still coming up with some potential.

So far it has been a draw/ok year. The year started off well with a string of upsets, then the middle of the year was a letdown for me like exciting but controversial decisions like Mares-Agbeko 1. The end of the year is looking great though, especially from last night with most of the fights entertaining. Ward-Froch and Khan-Peterson will decide this year for me.

A big robbery took place this year but the rest was decent

[Steak]

All of those fights were entertaining. Not to mention there were a lot of lower key fights that were really exciting.


People get too hung up oh boohooing about outcomes, instead of actually enjoying what happens in the ring. Grow up.

Mayweathers comeback saved 2011

[The Hammer]

There were some major disappointments (such as Hopkins-Dawson) but there were also a lot of great fights so overall I'd say it was a good year.
