2011 has been tumultuous and has given us more than our fair share of action, inaction, and all that clogs those polar extremes.
We’ve seen the Rise of Andre Ward, Brandon Rios, Lucian Bute, Lamont Peterson, Sergio Martinez, Nonito Donaire, James Kirkland and Ann Wolfe.
We’ve seen the Fall of Glen Johnson, James Toney, and Roy Jones.
We’ve seen the Rise and Fall of Victor Ortiz, Zab Judah, and Bernard Hopkins, contrasted by the Fall and Rise of Andre Berto.
We’ve seen the Collapse of David Haye and Paul Williams.
We’ve seen the Disappearance and Reappearance of Tim Bradley.
We’re seen the Steady Progress of Canelo Alvarez.
We’ve seen Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko continue their stranglehold on the heavyweight division.
We’ve seen the Ongoing Saga of Floyd Mayweather.
We’ve seen the first Real Questioning of Manny Pacquiao and Oscar De La Hoya.
We’ve seen the Sweet Revenge of Miguel Cotto.
We’ve seen Referees Making News, front, center, and even off to the side, and not for the first or last time.
