    Who deserves it really?

    Nobody's really stood out, I guess you could say Pac, but it's really slim pickings...

    I've gone Froch since he is the only one of the 3 given that has ahd 2 good fights against decent opposition. Although it could be argued for Pac i think the ODLH being so shot hurts his chances. JMM has only had 1 fight so far this year

    Froch IMO. Two fantastic fights and wins. Went from being a nobody to one of the main players in the division

    what does delahoya have to do with pac this year? He beat him in 2008 not 2009. So far he has an impressive win over ricky hatton KO2 and if he tko-ko or dominate cotto then he should win it again.

    Fair point... which makes giving it to pac at this point over Froch even more silly. You can't give it to Pac through the POSSIBILITY of him beating Cotto. Froche had a fight against the very good and well avoided Pascal that will more than likely be nominated as a fight of the year contestant at this point and a 12th round KO of JT

    Well in fairness Khan has bounced back well from getting knocked out, now im not saying he is fighter of the year but he has done well since being beaten.

    i hope Froch does end up winning it, he deserves it, and it'd be great to have an unusual name there instead of the usual Pacquiao and Mayweathers

    Regaining the title after a five year break is remarkable, and once he knocks out Haye, it can only be Vitali Klitscho

    wasn't froch's win against pascal in 2008? so really he's just beaten Taylor and was getting his ass handed to him until the knock out so no not Froch.

    it's too early everyone elite has only fought once for the most part

    Yeah most of the top dogs have fought only one match. Lets see the second. I voted Marquez but it is close call for me with Pac. I still believe that Diaz was more competitive than Hatton but who knows. If Cotto beat Pac he also have a chance to be the fighter of the year so it is really to early.

    It could have been Oritiz but he had to F it all up. Who do you guys have as the prospect of the year so far?
