    What Has Been Your Favorite Year for Boxing?

    As 2014 comes to an end I've heard many say this has been a bit of a let down overall after what a great year 2013 was.

    I'm your memory what has been your favorite year and why?

    For me a standout year is the year 2000

    We had Barrera-Morales 1. One of the greatest fights of all time and a fight that made me rediscover my love for boxing.

    Trinidad-Vargas.

    De La Hoya-Mosley 1

    We had a dominant undsiputed world HW champion in Lennox Lewis who defended his title twice.

    Roy Jones defended his light HW titles 3 times.

    The last exciting year of Naseem Hamed, defended his titles twice, both stunning Knockouts.

    Paulie Ayala-Johnny Tapia.

    And some fights I'm forgetting.

      2013, hopefully 2015 can get back to that level.

        It comes and goes and 2013, 96 or 97 when those first years of BAD were just sick.

            In most recent times....I think it was 2007.

            There seemed to be a hugely significant fight on every week towards the end of the year. Calzaghe-Kessler, Mosley-Cotto and Mayweather Hatton all in the space of about a month.

            Mayweather-Oscar, Cotto vs. Judah, Williams-Margarito, Kelly Pavlik vs Jermain Taylor I

              I liked 2012

              Cotto vs. Floyd
              Pacqauio Vs Marquez

              Usually the best fights be around this time...This year was just awful compared to other years

                Don't remember all the fights from 1990, but it brought us Tyson /Buster and jcc Sr/meldrick taylor. ...2 fights that still get tons of visibility almost 25 years later.
