Underrated Fight of the Year Candidate: Juan Urango TKO 11 Randall Bailey

Robbery of the Year: Juan Diaz UD 12 Paul Malignaggi
Ridiculous Scorecard of the Year: Gale Von Hoy - 118-110 Juan Diaz over Paul Malignaggi - I hope the check cleared.

Non-Combat Moment of the Year: HBO's Tribute to Arthur Curry

One-Sided Drubbing of the Year: Andre Ward UD 12 Henry "Sugar Poo" Robinson

Classic Boxing Pick Just to Piss JonnyBlaze Off of the Year Runner-up: Pernell Whitaker KO 2 Benny Leonard

2010 has the all makings of a great year for the sport, and it starts off with a bang... just like 2009 did: Shane Mosley in the ring. We'll all be here on the FightHype Community for it all. We've got some great posters on here, and our community will only continue to grow. I've browsed a few forums and there's not another one around that comes close to this one when it comes to knowledgeable discussion and quality. For poster awards, I wouldn't know where to begin. We've got some fantastic posters around here. The only category for which there is a clear winner is Resident Hater of the Year, and your winner is Stevenski. Honestly, that vote should be unanimous. Here's hoping our regulars stay regular, some names from the past resurface, those who don't post enough step up their game, and the newcomers can jump right into the fray and contribute (with the notable exceptions of the PBF nuthuggers who just never shut up and have nothing of substance to throw into the mix... they need their own damn board). Perhaps this is the year we've been anticipating for so long. Maybe the dreams become reality.
Could it all come together? Pacquiao-Mayweather and Mosley gets the winner? A big-time culmination of the Super Six? Williams-Pavlik? Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. fights someone with a pulse? Darchinyan-Donaire II? Holyfield-Bowe IV? Col Reb finally gets his wish and nails Chelsea Clinton? Who knows... maybe it all comes together in the 12 months that are just ahead.
My best to everyone here as we leave 2009 and enter 2010.
Ben, thanks for having this place for us all. It's one thing to truly love the sport and enjoy it as much as we do. It's another thing to be able to interact with those who share the same passion (or obsession... whatever). Many thanks.
There's nothing quite like being a connoisseur of the Noble Art., the Sweet Science... the world of boxing.
