    I voted Pac but I should have voted MArtinez. I forgot he beat Pavlik this year too. Pav and Williams were both fights alot thought he would lose but he won them both in impressive fashion.

    That's because Pacquiao is brilliant. Clottey has always verged on the too cautious, but he really had no answer to Pacquiao's offense. He was very competitive with Margarito and Cotto, he should have beat Cotto and would have done if he hadn't been too cautious.

    Margarito and Clottey are both B grade kind of scalps so he should not be higher than 3rd.

    It's how he fights. He was always going to look bad against Pacquiao and his high work rate, footwork and flurries - especially when Clottey only normally throws single shots and is a plodder.

    He's still a top 5 welterweight and a former 'world' champion, so to call him a 'journeyman' (even with world class attached) is very disrespectful, irrespective if you think his effort against Pac was pathetic.

    Kos is such a known Montiel hater. I tell ya what, Travis Dickinson better win this Prizefighter lark. Kos has been banging on about how he's the best prospect to come out of the North East since Paul Gascoigne.

    :lol:

    Just like Montiel-Valdez :good

    I don't hate Montiel, but I don't particularly like him either :yep

    Prizefighter is unpredictable at times - I can't assure you that Travis will win ;)

    I went for Sergio. He had two big fights this year and was underdog in both of them but won convincingly. Also both fights were exciting while they lasted.

    The people that have voted Pacquiao seriously need to get there heads checked.
