Marquez-Vasquez, Marquez-Barrera, and Mormeck-Bell II get my vote. Cotto-Judah, Katsidis-Earl, Clottey-Corrales and Pavlik-Miranda were all great fights, but too one-sided to be considered FOTY.

So far? Probably Judah-Cotto
Mormeck-Bell II was until the last 4 rds ruined the whole damn fight.. the first 8 were outstanding.
Pavlik-Miranda was a one-sided beatdown.

I don't think it was fight of the year, but I couldn't see how anyone could call this dull. Extremely good tactical fight, as you say. ODLH was much harder for PBF to figure out than many thought, but PBF impressed by getting over what (I think) was a little panic in the early rounds, to take the bout over the second half of the fight. Very impressive.
good sign as well, two of my mates who aren't really boxing fans (don't mind it, but haven't really watched since the Benn and Eubank days) thought it was enjoyable.
JMM-Barrera
I enjoyed that one, but, summat was missing for me - Barrera looked so flat.

Cotto - Judah probably best so far i'd have to say. De La Hoya - Mayweather was a great tactical fight that the half-boxing educated eye could appreciate.

Not exactly box-office I know but Earl v Katsidis was my personal favourite.

1. Barrera vs. Marquez is my pick - it had everything (a tactical battle for the ages, great action, and high drama)
2. Marquez vs. Vazquez I
3. Cotto vs. Judah
4. Katsidis vs. Earl
5. Pavlik vs. Miranda
6. Bell vs. Mormeck II

Ding - Nwodo, a lot of times fighters that aren't "world class" get overlooked. This one was exciting.
2nd............... Dirrell/Stevens:rasta

Mormeck-Bell 2 was fucking nuts.

Mormeck-Bell II would of been FOTY if not for Open Scoring!! When Mormeck found out he had won the fight by the 9th round, he just cruised the last 4 rounds which ruined the fight. But the first 8 rounds were great. Pavlik-Miranda was a bit too one-sided to be FOTY, I'd give it to Marquez-Barrera.
