[-Kev-]

Not counting 2013 of course, so from 2008-2012, which was the best year for you guys?

I'd say 2009, hands down. It's not even close.

No order; Best fights/performances in 2009:

Marquez-Diaz I
Mosley-Margarito
Williams-Martinez
Cotto-Clottey
Berto-Collazo
Ortiz-Maidana
Ward-Kessler
Dunne-Cordoba
Perez-Agbeko
Pascal-Diaconu
Malignaggi-Diaz
Froch-Taylor
Guzman-Funeka
Mayweather-Marquez
Pacquiao-Hatton
Lopez-Mtagwa
Urango-Bailey
Jones-Lacy

Marquez/Pacquiao 4 was the best fight i have ever seen live, that fight alone gave the year 2011 best boxing year ever...

I would pick 2007 as the best year of the 2000s overall

[The Hammer]

I remember 2007 as a great year for boxing.

2008 for me:

cotto - marg (highly anticipated match that changed the ww landscape) after floyd retired for 2 years)

dlh - pac (upset of the year and the rise of pac as a mainstream and ppv star)

pac - marquez ii (highly anticipated)

pac - diaz (pac's continuing rise as a p4p star)

hopkins - pavlik (huge upset by hopkins who everybody including roach felt he'd lose)

hopkins - calzaghe (battle for 175 supremacy)

taylor - lacy (taylor revived his career after this one)

dawson - johnson (out with the old in with the new)

dawson - tarver (battle between two of the highest regarded lhws)

froch - pascal (who wouldve predicted these two would become two of the most famous fighters of this generation? )
