    I rate Frampton and Selby highly, these wins back to back are really stellar.

    No. Usyk beat 3 elite opponents this year and unified all the belts. He's the clear #1 this year

    Wins over Frampton and Selby have got to put Warrington high up but Usyk is higher atm.

    If Usyk wasn't a clear runaway he'd be in talks for sure.

    Frampton has been looking slack since the second Santa Cruz fight. It looks like his discipline is not what it used to be.

    This, and all away from home as well. Great year for Warrington though.

    Usyk beat 3 guys he was favourite over..

    Warrington underdog against 2 top level opponents 1 arguably in top 10 Frampton..

    Yes he should be FOTY

    It's obvious as to why he only has 6 ko's in 28 fights. He's good when he throws straight punches but all those 2 handed wide swings in close are reminiscent of Calzage. He's a slapper. If he turned his fist over and punched with the knuckle there would be more ko's on his record. JC became a slapper later in his career because his hands were ****ed. JW's slapping maybe due to bad training methods.

    What's that got to do with the FOTY candidate?

    FOTY should never be awarded to a slapper.
