For me, it's the Thurman Pacquiao match it lives up to people's expectation, although the fight is not that close but's there are so many dramas headed to the fight, I really thought that it's Thurman who's going to retire Pacquiao, Manny proves many people wrong he still has it.

I also like the Joshua Ruiz fight but the Thurman Pacquiao has so much excitement going to the fight date.

What made the fight between Thurman and Pacquaio interesting is the hype created by Thurman on his continuous trash-talking and bullying Pacquaio before the fight which lead to his downfall. Of course while remaining humble and keeping his feet on the ground, the People's Champ delivered!

The Joshua Ruiz fight was also an interesting but Porter vs Spence may be the fight of the year. The excitement, thrill and and hype between the fighters are unmatchable especially the fight itself.

Can we add the Porter vs Spence fight?,

That was not a boring fight that ended up in split decision.
That's a brawl and Porter was making Spence does things that he don't normally do, but unfortunately that knock down of him really cost him to loss in this fight.

Anyway, that's still a good fight and should be added in the candidates for boxing fight of the year.

Definitely it's worth it, this is one tough fight to score I'm suprise that some judges are scoring it with a big edge for Spence, it should be closer than that, in case you all don't know there's a heated argument between the two in their post-fight conference
you can check the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5l6QIMVhBzY their arguments stem from who draws the most people in their fight.
No oppositions with that yet theres no doubt that recent Spence and Porter fight should really be included on the list.
Fight that isn't boring and yet entertaining.I heavily agree with the scoring because it way too far yet weve seen on how
Porter do fight well but whats finished is already final. Ruiz and AJ upset will be on the list too.

@Bttzed03 - the fight has just talked about after the fight itself, it didn't have the hype because Ruiz is just a late replacement. While the Pacquaio vs Thurman put Pacquaio again in the discussions for the best welterweight in his division. And then there was lot of hate on Thurman because on the way he disrespect a legend and how he gonna end Manny's career. And he didn't back it up and he was totally ridicule by boxing media. So my vote goes to Pacquiao vs Thurman.

I understand that it only became the talk of the town after the fight. That's mainly the reason why I think it is the fight of the year so far. It had a bigger impact to the boxing world compared to the Pacquiao-Thurman fight. It sent a strong message and a reminder to everyone that even a talented champion like Joshua can be defeated especially if he underestimates his opponent.

I support the senator from Philippines Manny Pacquiao who has been a great fighter with lots of championships with him.

8 times division world champion
5 times division lineal world champion
13 times world champion
3 times fighter of the year
One fighter of the decade.

I agree with what you said, senator Manny Pacquiao is one of the greatest fighters in the boxing and has won so many championships with different divisions. I'm still looking forward to seeing Manny Pacquiao fights especially in the last fight that he proves that he can still fight even with the younger once and also he still has the speed, skills, and ability, but not like in the old days. Smiley
That factors can make the right be a good candidate for fight of the year, fighting with younger generation's of boxing fighter gives Pacman a good credit. At once people thinks that due to age advantage of Thurman and those trash talks gives him the credit for being the odds favorite. But from what we witness how Pacman remove all the doubts regarding to his fighting skills, he able to catch the media and win the crowd.

I agree, Porter vs Spence is worth to be candidate for fight of the year. It was a brawl although Porter fell short because of the flash knock down he got up and continue to smothered Spence like a madman until the last bell. You can call it a war or a dogfight as no one is backing down, Porter even tell Spence to come in even after the knock down

Who is your bet for this year's boxing fight of the year, my bet is the biggest upset of the year Joshua Ruiz 1 but we'll be waiting for what's going to happen in their second match, it might bring a much bigger surprise for us, but so far for me  Joshua Ruiz 1.


The fight of the year was clearly Tyson vs Wilder, by a long shot actually. The way Tyson came back from the dead, pretty literally, and ended up dominating that 12th round was out of a Rocky movie, it was insanity to watch it live.

Right, I think I'll go with this fight as well. Wilder was celebrating, he thought that he good Fury and the referee was about to call Tyson out but suddenly he rose from the dead, punished Wilder and finished strong and it was insane.

And now that Porter and Spence just concluded their fight, I think it could also be a good candidate, UD win by Spence by Porter was banging him the whole 12 rounds was entertaining, wild and exciting bout.

The OP should make a poll for this thread. But from my end, I will go for Pacquiao-Thurman fight not considering other possible matches yet that will happen for the rest of the year.  Why would I vote for this match? Many people are rooting for Thurman because of his age, but it turned out that Pacquiao can still beat younger boxers at his age. It proved that age is just a number, if you have the innate power and strength along with strong determination, you can still be victorious at your chosen career.

Also, I like the fact that PacMan remain to be a humble person despite achieving his good financial status right now. Look at Mayweather, he is always flaunting his riches and other material things to the eyes of public on his social media. And he is not shy about it. He brags about it. It's not all about money in this world though!

I think Thurman vs Pacquiao will be likely the candidate for fight of the year. Although Pacquiao knock down Thurman in the first round, Thurman takes it to Pacquiao in the middle round but Manny responded as well. And it really live to the hype, specially Thurman's big mouth, totally talking trash to Manny, but in the end, the great Manny Pacquiao proved that he can still pull the trigger.

Maybe the Joshua vs Ruiz could be the upset of the year. If there is such a category.

There's so many dramas in the Thurman Pacquiao fight when the match came everyone is very excited, compare to the Joshua Ruiz match both fighters are friendly to each other, there's no heated arguments because everyone is expected Joshua to win, but when the upset came it is just then that the real excitement begins.
So I go for the Thurman Pacquiao match.

Currently we have 4 of candidates for boxing's fight of the year.

(1) Pacquiao vs Thurman
(2) Joshua vs Ruiz Jr
(3) Fury vs Wallin
(4) Fury vs Wilder

And then the potential:

(1) Alvarez vs Kovalev
(2) Inoue vs Donaire
(3) Spence vs Porter

But at this point I would say that Fury vs Wilder is a good one, back and forth fight and we don't know who really won that's why there is a rematch. Joshua vs Ruiz, on the other hand, was just a lopsided fight. FOTY should be war, like JMM vs Pacquiao, Rafa Marquez vs Israel Vasquez, Barrera vs Morales and Ward vs Gatti. Those fights are really brutal and neither fighter wanted to give an inch. I suggest those casual boxing fans here to watch some of those classic wars.

I'll take Pacquiao vs. Thurman, then next close is Fury vs Wilder.
I should say, If Pacman didnt knocked down Thurman in the first round, it should've been obviously the fight of the year. Mad props to Thurman for fighting Pacman toe to toe even after he got knocked down, it didnt somehow intimidated him from retaliating back (atleast in the early rounds).
On the other hand Fury and Wilder fight is undoubtedly a good fight to watch. Really a back and forth fight and the most entertaining part of the match is Fury's ability to miss most of Wilders punches.
I agree with FOTY must be a war like what you have in your lists of classic fight, and It must also show something entertaining to watch as well.

Let's wait for Inoue vs Donaire then.
I know this fight will gonna be the best, especially home crowd advantage with Inoue which the fight will happen at Japan.
The odds are extremely favor on Inoue for now, but I do believe  it will change slowly.
My funds are ready for betting on Donaire. We have few weeks  left before this fight. Boxing fight of the year for sure.

I have to make a bet for Fury vs Wilder as the best fight of the year. They are young and seems to be hot which chasing popularity with their boxing career and needs to recognize somehow. Those old and veteran boxers have already their names in the boxing history which they don't need such appreciation anymore rather than to give this opportunity to the new names.

This is a good thread, but I have some suggestion to OP,, How about making pool of the possible best fight of the year so we also have our own voice here, I'll be glad to cast my vote if you will have that up soon.

You guys can suggest what are the good fights this year so far.

Many would have selected the Thurman - Pacquiao fight, but I am waiting for the upcoming fight of Donaire and Inoue that is set on November 7 of this year.

I agree with what you said, senator Manny Pacquiao is one of the greatest fighters in the boxing and has won so many championships with different divisions. I'm still looking forward to seeing Manny Pacquiao fights especially in the last fight that he proves that he can still fight even with the younger once and also he still has the speed, skills, and ability, but not like in the old days.

But I think the selection is not about who the greatest boxer is, it is the excitement that the two fighter brings or the one that gives a shock to its audience and among the fight that happen, that maybe the Joshua-Ruiz fight.

Who is your bet for this year's boxing fight of the year, my bet is the biggest upset of the year Joshua Ruiz 1 but we'll be waiting for what's going to happen in their second match, it might bring a much bigger surprise for us, but so far for me  Joshua Ruiz 1.


The fight of the year was clearly Tyson vs Wilder, by a long shot actually. The way Tyson came back from the dead, pretty literally, and ended up dominating that 12th round was out of a Rocky movie, it was insanity to watch it live.

The Joshua vs Ruiz incident was bizarre. I mean yes, it's an huge upset, but it wasn't a good fight in my book, I think Joshua was so off that night. I still believe he is going to dominate Ruiz on part 2. Perhaps im delusional and Ruiz is that good, or Joshua is a bit of a dosser, we'll find out. If Ruiz gets the job done again easily, then he is clearly a contender for the winner of Fury v. Wilder 2, I mean he has to. There's still time for Kovalev vs Canelo to happen, but I doubt it can be a better fight than that.
