2011? Sure I would pick him based on winning the super 6 tourney.

Donaire or MArtinez

I'm inclined to go with Ward at this point for turning back Chad Dawson's challenge in such impressive fashion.

But he only fought once... and it wasn't the best Dawson... compared to Donaire's wins? OR Garcias or Martinez's?.. It's good but not good enough to trump them in an honest effort IMO

Have to go with Martinez. Stopping Macklin and then nearly shutting out Chavez who was practically a cruiserweight is worthy.

That's 2 fights against 2 solid contenders. That should be the norm, not FOTY stuff. Chavez was a cruiser vs 165lb Zbik just last year, and most people had him losing. Didn't drop Zbik at all.

It SHOULD be, but it isn't.

Right, you could fight 2 non contenders like Martinez did last year. Still as bad as this year was for FOTY, there's people doing more, like Donaire or Garcia. Or Pac of course if he wins clear cut.

Garcia doing more? Maybe if the Holt fight was this year...

Donaire I can understand, but Garcia? No way. No doubt his victory over Khan was impressive, but the other two vs a BEYOND-SHOT Morales mean nothing.

Martinez
Donaire
Viloria- If he beats Tyson

Khan is better than either of Martinez' wins, and 3 wins is better than 2. Morales was Ring top 10 ranked, right or wrong. Mostly wrong, but had that win over Cano that is looking better now. He did alright vs Garcia 1 also.
