    Best boxing year in the last 5 years?

    Not counting 2013 of course, so from 2008-2012, which was the best year for you guys?

    I'd say 2009, hands down. It's not even close.

    Marquez-Diaz I
    Mosley-Margarito
    Williams-Martinez
    Cotto-Clottey
    Berto-Collazo
    Ortiz-Maidana
    Ward-Kessler
    Dunne-Cordoba
    Perez-Agbeko
    Pascal-Diaconu
    Malignaggi-Diaz
    Froch-Taylor
    Guzman-Funeka
    Mayweather-Marquez
    Pacquiao-Hatton
    Lopez-Mtagwa
    Urango-Bailey
    Jones-Lacy

          2008 for me:

          cotto - marg (highly anticipated match that changed the ww landscape) after floyd retired for 2 years)

          dlh - pac (upset of the year and the rise of pac as a mainstream and ppv star)

          pac - marquez ii (highly anticipated)

          pac - diaz (pac's continuing rise as a p4p star)

          hopkins - pavlik (huge upset by hopkins who everybody including roach felt he'd lose)

          hopkins - calzaghe (battle for 175 supremacy)

          taylor - lacy (taylor revived his career after this one)

          dawson - johnson (out with the old in with the new)

          dawson - tarver (battle between two of the highest regarded lhws)

          froch - pascal (who wouldve predicted these two would become two of the most famous fighters of this generation? )
