Can you explain a bit more, Weeb? Are you asking who beat the best fighter, or who had the most impressive win? If the former, do you mean best- ranking wise, or just best overall in our opinion? i.e Donaire was ranked higher but if someone thought Salido was the better fighter, they would say Salido, etc

In terms of quality opponent, Bradley had the best win of the year by beating Juan Maunel Marquez.
In terms of most dominating performance, Guillermo Rigondeaux had the best win by nearly shutting Donaire out in that fight.
I think I would give the edge to Bradley here but largely because I thought Donaire fought like **** with 0 gameplan whereas Marquez at least had a strategy in mind that happened to not work out.

I'd say by the way his opponent was regarded, combined with the performance he put in beating his opponent, it's Rigo.

The greatest win of the year was Gonzalez TKO1 over Mares, BY FAR.
If there was a win of the year, that would be it.
Rigondeax-Donaire was difficult to call for me, I called it a close fight.
Gonzalez-Mares? I thought Mares was going to straight up knock poor Gonzalez out, especially since he's been on the slide. That was just shocking.
1. Gonzalez-Mares
2. Rigo-Donaire
3. Mayweather-Canelo
4. Stevenson-Dawson
5. Garcia-Matthysse(Came out exactly how I thought it would)
