    Even money or thereabouts at the bookies.

    I'm not disputing Warrington's underdog status, just pointing out that Usyk wasn't expected to dominate Gassiev the way he did.

    No love for Whyte? Browne, Parker and Chissy is a hot year at HW for a supposed '2nd mandatory' ha ha

    I was ready to give it to Dogboe if he won, then Frampton, but I guess I have to go with Usyk.

    Not a great year quite honestly, kinda like winning the decathalon at the Special Olympics.

    No, Usyk should still be Fighter of the Year.

    But Warrington had a great year and is clearly the first runner-up after Usyk.

    I've had a soft spot for Warrington for a while now, I picked him with confidence to beat Selby, and I picked him based off of the strength of that performance to beat The Jackal's ass, and I like Carl. I saw something special in him that most missed, his willpower, grit, awkwardness and relentlessness, and in some ways he's even exceeded my expectations for him. I'm thrilled by the year he's had. Usyk still takes it, but IMO Warrington is a solid second place.

    He is a top featherweight no doubt. I would like to see any of the other champions in with him. Even Frampton and Galahad t's just I don't think even with a title he is anyone's first choice. I don't think he is a big draw and the easiest fight to make should have been him vs LSC for unification and that hasn't happened and isn't looking like it will happen soon.

    I'd love to see Warrington Vs GRJ tbh and I don't get the reluctance in wanting to see it.

    Santa Cruz that lost & won MD v Frampton? Warrington I think takes him with stright Judges,Fighting in the USA might be a problem with Judges of late.

    Warrington fights a bit little 80's super feather/ lightweight Barry Michael from Australia. Tough night at the office for anybody.
