I really don't think its been as bad as most people are saying on this thread. Boxing fans are ungrateful and whenever some big fights don't get made people piss and moan. There have been plenty of good fights this year, but they have been between lesser or unknown fighters.

Rodrigo Guerrero vs Daniel Rosas
Yodmongkol Vor Saengthep vs Takuya Kogawa
Koki Eto vs Adrin Diale
Roman Gonzalez vs Akira Yaegashi
Fracisco Rodriguez Jr vs Kasunari Takayama
Robert Guerrero vs Yoshihiro Kamegai
Thomas Willimas Jr vs Cornelius White
Floyd Mayweather vs Marcos Maidana I
Juan Manuel Marquez vs Mike Alvarado
Adonis Steveson vs Andrew Fonara
Knockout CP Freshmart vs Carlos Buitrago
Jonathan Taconing vs Vergilio Silvano
Kiko Martinez vs Hozumi Hasegawa
Orlando Salido vs Terdsak Kokietgym
Terence Crawford vs Yuriorkis Gamboa
Denis Shafikov vs Rustam Nugaev
Omar Figueroa vs Daniel Estrada
Jose Lopez vs Roberto Castaneda
Leonardo Zappavigna vs Shuhei Tsuchiya
Jessie Vargas vs Anton Novikov
Lucas Matthysse vs John Molina
Humberto Soto vs John Molina
Andy Lee vs John Jackson
Curtis Stevens vs Tureano Johnson
Marco Huck vs Firat Arslan
Bermane Stiverne vs Chris Arreola II
Tommy Coyle vs Daniel Brizuela
Steve Cunningham vs Amir Mansour
Monty Meza Clay vs Alan Herrera

These might not all be foty contenders but they were all fights I'd watch again.

Not even that bad. 2013 was a monster year though. I'm personally looking forward to November

B-Hop/Kovalev
Pacman/Algieri
Crawford/Beltran
Fury/Chisora II
Bellew/Cleverly II

[bigcursedawg]

I also forgot to mention in my previous post that 2014 is closing out strong with some very solid match ups being made in the last quater.

GGG vs Rubio
Donaire Walters
Hopkins Kovalev
Crawford vs Beltran
Reveco vs Vor Saengthep
Yamanaka vs Sor Rungvisai
Bradley vs Chaves
Tanaka vs Hara
Gradovich vs Velez
Farenas vs Pedraza

And we would've seen Rosado vs Kirkland, but bum ass Kirkland pulled out.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

4/10

Slightly below average

Too many soft touches and not enough compelling fights

Lara-canelo
Hopkins-kovalev
Walters-donaire

Those are really the only three really interesting fights of the year
