In November some men in suits in Caracas and Panama City decided that the world's most technically gifted fighter, a kid called Guillermo Rigondeaux, had been inactive too long and decided to take away his world title and give it to another boxer. Not nice.
Ten days later Rigondeaux was back in the ring, without his title and he never once complained. However, it was one of the dumbest acts in 2015 by one of the four sanctioning bodies that run, ruin and rule the sport of boxing.
It was the end this year for Floyd Mayweather, walking away with close to £200 million from two easy fights and breaking a few hearts as he stepped through the exit door. Mayweather led Amir Khan a merry dance once again with covert talks between their respective consiglieres failing to transform into a date, a fight and a massive payday.
Khan, instead, went on convoy to Greece with several trucks loaded with supplies for refugees.
It was officially announced that David Haye would end his exile on fame and misfortune Street and return to the ring in pursuit of money, Anthony Joshua and redemption in a fight with Wladimir Klitschko. Haye, you see, announced the comeback just a few days before Klitschko and Tyson Fury fought and his beautifully executed cynical manoeuvre backfired spectacularly when Fury won.
There are some entertaining rumours surrounding the television rights for Haye's Jan. 16 return. I still doubt if Haye, Joshua or Fury will share a ring in any combination.
And finally, as an end of year offering I give you a small random selection of the saints and sinners from both codes during a year when the good guys once again went to war with the bad guys. It was probably a draw, by the way. And remember, not all the guys in the amateur business are good guys and not all the people in the professional business are the bad guys. It's murky out, be warned.
Nigel Travis at Moss Side Fire Station boxing club is a good guy. He has a team, but he is the leader -- all good amateur boxing clubs have a Travis.
The mad and shifting Olympic qualification process, introduced by the old amateur sport's governing body, is a sin. It favours the 'new' professionals of the APB and WSB and is the start of the end for traditional amateur boxers.
We had Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao in the same ring and that was good. However, there was a ticketing dilemma and that was most definitely bad. The moaning once the technical and tactical dance was over was also bad. The close ringside seats were packed with conmen, scoundrels and rogues, which was a shock because for weeks people had been told that there would be very few ringside seats available for the written press.
The late news that David Price was knocked out not once but twice by drug cheats offers hollow consolation to a decent man. It might lift a weight from his shoulders and it might be too late. The men responsible for his fighting crisis -- Erkan Teper and Tony Thompson -- are sinners.
Anyway, I said it was random and I was not kidding.
