    Honestly I have no idea, this hasn't been a stellar year for anyone in particular, a lot of big one off wins, but no one really doing the double.

    Glowacki had a great win in stopping Huck yet his other win was Seferi....who cares.

    Fonfara stopped Chavez Jr and had a FOTY against Cleverly.... but barely won.

    Either Mayweather or Fury although the way they both did it was anything but thrilling.

    If some Eastern Europen dude like Uysk, had beaten Hammer & Vlad as easy as The Furious One™ did, would you even argue it was close?

    I would be inclined to go with Mayweather. He won the most significant fight of the last 30 years or so.
