2014 Fighter of the Year: Naoya "Monster" Inoue

Or, MVC has no shame for voting for Floyd.

 

Right, along with two others.

...and 34 people have no shame voting for Pacquiao.


All 37 should be ashamed.

Pacquiao had a better year than Mayweather but has no more claim to being F'erOTY.

A rat is bigger than a tarantula but is no more capable of eating a rhinoceros. (Mayweather = tarantula, Pacquiao = rat, Inoue = rhinoceros).

 

But, Pacquiao beat 2 previous unbeaten boxers.

No shame on voting for Pacquiao.

 

:nono
Herrera....but we all know he won those two fights :twisted::fire
John JR is a bad mofo:good
:smoke

 

Bad scorecards for Herrera twice in the same FKN yearatsch:twisted:atsch
:smoke

 

I did have him losing both narrowly (96-94 Dallas Jr.; 115-113 Provodnikov) but they were close enough to go either way.

 

So did Kovalev. Try again.

On the Ropes? Oh yeah?? :rofl

They aren't a serious journalistic institution, you do realize that?

Iole, on the other hand, is actually fairly well respected, and Yahoo! Sports a credible source, but they make no mention of Pacquiao being F'erOTY. They call Roach trainer of the year. Not the same thing. (and part of that was guiding Cotto to a lineal MW title to revive his career, not just Pacquiao's)

Did you even read that?

ESPN voted Pacquiao behind Crawford. (although Rafael is completely ignorant putting either ahead of Inoue)

Um, plenty of shame, actually.

The only person on the poll you can say Pacquiao definitely had a better year than is Mayweather. Neither of them belongs on the poll in the first place.

:deal

Give me a solid case why Pacquiao deserves mention over Inoue and you can have your 'no shame'. That means don't just rehash "he beat two unbeaten fighters" or "Bradley was top 5 p4p :blabla" - tell me why his accomplishments outrank those of Inoue. Or hell, even Crawford. I'll wait.

 

It is so obviously Inoue that I suspect anyone not voting for him of being ignorant, having an agenda, or in the case of those voting for Pacquiao or Floyd, both.

 

:nod

I'd be spending more energy arguing with the Crawford and Kovalev backers (whom, I suspect, also just flat-out don't realize what a year Inoue had and thus have selected with a degree of ignorance themselves) were they not way less unreasonable than Mayweather or Pacquiao voters.

 

I had it 116-112 Herrera.

 

I like your list:good:hey
:smoke

 

What??? :rofl

You mean Dave Parris' drawn card was bad, right?

Brook clearly won, shouldn't have even been a MD.

 

Another week left to vote.

 

only 6 votes
for Roman

WTF

 

"Outworking" isn't a scoring criteria.

Never did he outbox Brook.

No it wasn't. Brook swept the 'chip rounds. Porter just kept flurrying wildly and missing.

So? He was more efficient. By a whopping margin, actually.

Even if the rest of his punches over the next eleven weren't as good as that one, it doesn't mean he is losing those rounds if Porter's work is more disjointed and sloppy (as it was) and Brook is landing cleaner and at a higher percentage (which he was).

He did hold a lot, I will give you that. It was tactical, and effective. (Brook isn't really an infighter and didn't want to get roughhoused by the bigger man)

That is just a saying. It has never actually held any weight in scoring boxing.

Which amounts to absolutely nothing, as far as scoring goes.

He tired more than Brook.

...he didn't initiate offensive effort, because he is a counter-puncher. He countered Porter fairly effectively. You don't penalize a boxer when scoring a fight RBR for staying/waiting by the ropes.

I viewed with American commentary. I've never heard of DMAX.

Top 5? Except nobody but you calls it a robbery.
