The boxing year 2003 is two weeks away from being over and while the field is quieting down for the Christmas holidays, it is a good moment to take a look back at what we have witnessed this year. It certainly has been a colourful and exciting twelve months again. One nice thing about boxing is that almost every year includes something good. If there is quiet in some division like it was in the heavyweights this year, there are other divisions to fill in what has lacked. Cruiserweight, which has usually been one of the least inspiring categories, went through a great season as did welterweight and super-welterweight, not forgetting the lightweights nor feathers either.
There has been tradition that at the end of the year the best nominees in certain categories have been elected, and I for my part want to continue that genre. I have ranked some fighters and fights in different categories which I think have been the best and most memorable of the year. Check them out and agree or disagree freely with my choices.
