    It was a good year of boxing.

    Best ever? You do realize we are talking about a sport that's hundreds of years old right?

      Honestly, I have a hard time remembering all the big fights over the years and when exactly they happened.

        I'll wait for you to post a comparable year.

              Out the years I can think of clearly enough, that I actually experienced live, 2013 is the only year that compares. And I would definitely pick 2017 over it. It's almost like we all collectively paid our dues in 2016, which was a pretty big dud, to get a year twice as good as we could have guessed afterwards.

              It's hard for me to think of other years because my knowledge of what fights occurred in which exact years is a little shaky.

              1990 is probably the craziest one I can think of, what with Douglas-Tyson and Chavez-Taylor. Plus you had Nigel Benn - Iran Barkley that year which was ****in nuts.

              Whichever year Arguello-Pryor I was in is probably an honorable mention on that fight alone. (Same for the year where Morales-Barrera 1 took place)

                  Idk about the best ever. Idk why some of you dorks gotta go ATG with every mfing thing for some dumb ass reason, but yea its been a good f#cking year & probably the best or among the best since I've been watching boxing. I certainly don't recall a year when so many fights I personally wanted to see & boxing fans at large wanted to see were happening back to back to back.
