    Possibly. Why not? Pac has no problem with that. But did I hear right that Margo had beaten Martinez. in the past.

    Ten years ago, at welterweight, when Martinez had only been pro for just over two years.

    Martinez being front-runner for Fighter of the Year for 2010 definitely makes up for how 2009 just screwed the **** out of him. I think he wins this handily.

    In my honest opinion I think and believe "YES" Maravilla deserves Fighter of the Year. Without question or debate Martinez is the Lineal MW Champion of the world!

    Absolutely; I said if he beat Williams he definitely deserves it. If Williams had won, then it would be Pacquiao.

    It has to be Sergio, the only person that could possible take it other than him is Pascal but I don't think he will.

    like another poster has said: either Martinez or Jean Pascal if he beats BHop.

    With this win of Martinez..he would probably take FOTY...But who knows, they might also consider those 2 fights of Pac against larger opponents (even though it is expected to be a Pac win)

    Pavlik wasn't p4p Top 15, nevermind top 5 when he fought him! (Which list are you using?)
