    Where Do You Rate 2017 year for Boxing?

    2017 has been an amazing year for boxing!

    You had everything for everyone this year in boxing!

    Circus event for casual? Check

    Technical chess matches at the highest levels? Check

    Toe to toe war's? Check

    Knocks Out that will be remembered? Check

    Competitive fights? Check

    Big upsets? Check

    You name it!

    It started off with the Jack vs Degale classic and now with the biggest fight in boxing currently with Canelo vs GGG...
    And it could get even better with Wilder vs Ortiz!


    What more do you want as a fan this year, best year in boxing in a decade IMO!

        Best since I've been following the sport. I just pray that it's the start of a trend and not an anomaly

          Started off slow but really picked up steam towards the end of the year. The best I'd say since 2013

              Lots of drama but not as much fulfillment.

              On the upside we had Thurman/Garcia, Spence/Brook, Broner/Garcia, Joshua/Klitschko, Charlo/Williams, DeGale/Jack, GGG/Jacobs, Crawford unified the division, and finishing strong with GGG/Canelo and Wilder/Ortiz.

              On the downside we had Roman Gonzalez robbed in his first fight and likely retired in his rematch. Pac/Horn was ugly and ended in a robbery. Ward won another dirty fight. Of course the May/Mac circus came to town in 2017 as well.

              Overall, a good year for boxing.

                Definitely the best year since 2010 and probably far longer than that.

                The number of quality fights we've seen this year have been unbelievable. Further, the sport has done ridiculous #'s (compared to other years) when you talk about TV viewership.

                  Agreed with all accounts so far!

                  If Wilder vs Ortiz and Loma vs Rigo happens then I'll boldly say it's the best year I've ever witnessed for boxing!
