    I guess I'm in the minority but it's been decent

    TopQaulity fights of top 10s

    Ward/Kov
    Thurman/Porter
    Leo/Frampton
    Crawford / Postol
    Frampton/Quigg
    Vargas / Salido
    Vargas /Pac
    Pac / Bradley
    Lara/Vanes
    Charlo/Trout
    Usyk/Glowacki
    Chocolito / Caudras
    Donaire /Magdeleno

    With
    Lomo /Walters
    Mares /Ceuller
    J-Roc / Charlo still to come

    Entertaining fights

    Berto /Ortiz
    Easter/Commey
    Williams / E Rodriguez
    GGG/ Brook



    Upsets

    Smith /Fonfara
    Molina /Ruslan
    Diaz / Vasquez
    Vargas /Ali
    Perralta/Guererro

    Emergence of Valdez & Spence as must watch

    With Hurd, ,Lipinets , Lubin , Gervontae DAvis all making some noise

    It's been spread out with only a couple dull spots through out the year. Not the greatest but not sh.it

          It hasn't been that great but we just got Kovalev-Ward, Loma-Walters this weekend and there are some good fights to close out the year. It's a year where we had to wait on a lot of these fights but at least they are happening.

            He's only 27. He can come back, but I hate that he pulled this crap before the rematch.

            Great Vince video btw. LOL

              Yeah every year it's the same thing " boxing going down " " it was a horrible year " ,

              2015 supposedly ****** but we got May/Pac & Canelo/Cotto and the emergence of the PBC but it was a sh.it year

              A common theme is Boxing fans are never satisfied

                I started watching more UFC this year then ever before because boxing has ****** so much this year.

                I've watched more boxing then UFC still in 2016, but the UFC has been a ***** load more entertaining and no where nearly as corrupt as boxing always manages to deliver and live up too.

                  That all fell apart.
                  That's all you really need to say.

                  The heavyweight division fell apart this year with everything that went on with Fury, Klitschko, Wilder, Povetkin, etc.
