so who's 2013's fighter of the year?

Danny Garcia with Tim Bradley close behind

 

this is rigo's award

 

Mayweather

Danny Garcia
Mikey Garcia
Tim Bradley

Rigondeaux (fight with Agbeko coming up)
Stevenson (fight with Bellew coming up)
Edgar Sosa (fight with Yaegashi coming up will be huge)

Floyd's my vote as of now, the rest of the guys round out the honorable mentions.

 

Agreed on Stevenson, but Kovalev has basically done the same against about the same level of opposition (specially given all of Stevensons so far were against guys coming off losses). And I don't think that Stevensons undisputed at 175 either, I think Kovalev would dispute the matter quite fiercely:bbb. Great fight for 2014.

Dawson > Cleverly
Campillo > Cloud
White > Boone
Sillakh ? Bellew

(Bellew's higher rated but consensually Sillakh is the more dangerous H2H)

Assuming another pair of KOs tomorrow there's very little to choose, although Stevenson gaining the lineal title perhaps gives him the edge.

Much as I like GGG he hasn't got the same quality of wins despite having the 4KOs that Stevenson and Kovalev will have if things go as I expect tomorrow.

 

Maybe if it were 2011 and you thought the world of him.

Honestly, I think lesser of Sillakh compared to Bellew when rating a victory over either of them this Saturday.

 

Danny Garcia
Sergey Kovalev (If he beats Sillakh)

 

He's been very busy this year (5th fight) though mainly at cruiser and there is no doubt he's still an excellent fighter.

Just - that chin...

Still H2H I'd pick him over Bellew any day. And I wasn't on the hype train back then (I didn't have time to watch more than just the big fights) in fact I'm not even sure I'd heard of him.

I'm judging him now on watching his fights not off repuation - he is very good - have you watched him?

Anyways when I said consensually I meant I've discussed it a coupla times on here and 'scene and that's what most people seem to think. I'll bear in mind that you disagree.

 

Mayweather closely followed by Danny G

 

Timmy, 2 wins against top opponents.

 

GGG
Stevenson
Danny Garcia

 

GGG wins the hype award, but still hasn't fought anyone with a pulse

 

this **** right here

 

The most amazing thing I saw this year was an entire middleweight division running from a guy like he was nuclear fallout. GGG takes it for me, no other boxer beat so many without even laying a glove on them.

 

GGG has only come on the international map in the last year or so since he hooked up with HBO
Martinez has had injuries, geale cashed in after beating Sylvester and sturm by fighting mundine in Australia, and sturm doesn't fight outside of Germany unless Oscar gives him a career high payday

 

Stevenson if he ko's bellew
