Has 2007 been the best year in the history of the sport?

[cableguy]

The amount of top quality fights this year has been nothing short of phenomenal.

So far:
PBF v ODH
Hatton v Castillo
Mosley v Collazo
Cotto v Zab
MAB v Marquez
Williams v Margarito
Hopkins v Wright
Mormeck v Bell

Still to come:
PBF v Hatton
Calzaghe v Kessler
Mosley v Cotto
MAB v Pac
Taylor v Pavlik
Haye v Mormeck

Think it could be a long time before we see another year like this one

[Pimp C]

Not the best but probably the best in the last 10-15 years or so.

[Marnoff]

A lot of people have made similar threads. Definitely a good year.

[EL BULLY]

I wouldn't be at all surprised if you turned out to be gay.

[Marciano Frazier]

In the history of the sport? Not by a long shot. In the last 15 years or so? Probably.

[China_hand_Joe]

I am waiting for someone to list a few better years

[TIGEREDGE]

the years 2001 and 2000 had some megafights and great stories:

2000 treated us to:

MAB BARERRA 1
MOSLEY DE LAHOYA
TITO V VARGAS AND REID
VARGAS V QUARTEY
Tapia V Ayala
LEWIS CLEARING UP THE HW SCENE
there were a few other good fights i think

2001 gives us:
Barrera V Hamed
Mayweather V Corrales
Tito V Hopkins and Joppy
Morales Ayala
Rahman Upset
there were a few other good fights i think


This year han't produced any classics like the epics of 2000. some good fights yes. we are probably getting more matchups than we have in any other year but i don't know if this years will be remembered as the best. there is plenty of time left

1999 give us a few good matchups but they all let us down (except a tapia fight):
Holyfield Lewis 1 and 2
Oscar V Tito and quartey
Tapia V someone (please correct me)
Tito V Whitaker


I think the last truly great year for boxing was 1990:
douglas tyson
taylor chavez
benn eubank
there were quite a few others
1991 was good is well

FINGERS AND TOES CROSSED THAT THIS WILL BE THE BEST

aww shucks...:rofl :rofl :rofl

[TIGEREDGE]

The Only Arguable Classic Was Mab V Marquez. Dlh Pbf Was Boring In Most Rounds. Cotto Judah Was Entertaining But One Sided. Macrinelli Braithweight Was An Excellent Fight But Still A Bit One Sided. Vasquez Marquez Could Of Been A Classic

[JAM Killer]

This is a great year for boxing.

I love this sport.

[jackiebrown]

to some fans any year that showed fights in black and white is the best year

[Cookie]

I'm not as sold on this year as other people. There have been a lot of top fights for sure, but the real big ones were mostly a let down. Mayweather-DLH was pretty boring, Hopkins-Wright was VERY boring, and Hatton-Castillo wasn't the FOTY that might have been expected.

There's some big fights still on the horizon so hopefully they'll be as good as we expect.

[Alo2006]

Not the best but probably the best in the last 10-15 years or so.

I agree :yep
