Fight of the year is basically just an opinion, so far any of the fights mentioned here could be worthy of the honour. A few that were not mentioned, and a few that were with reasons:
Calzaghe vs Kessler- superb fight for anyone who didnt care who won, plenty of aggression and skill from both fighters.
Katsidis vs Earl- fantastic fight with more action in the few rounds it lasted than pretty much every fight this year. Some astonishing bravery and some heavy knockdowns.
Cotto vs Judah- Same as above, brilliant fight with plenty of action.
Bika vs Codrington- Another fight with plenty of action. Pretty much every shot landed in this fight had "Knockout" written all over it, amazed it lasted till the 8th.
Pavlik vs Taylor- Two undefeated fighters squaring up for the undisputed Middleweight championship. A true champion fighting his true No. 1 contender, an action packed fight with an explosive finish.
Cotto vs Mosely- Mosely came to fight, Cotto came to box. Very close fight that wasnt lacking excitement.
Juan Diaz vs Julio Diaz- Lightweight unification fight, no real drama but fantastic from a real boxing fans point of view.
There are a few others I watched but cant think of any more right now.
