    if beating a glass jawed fraud and a fat old man is all it takes to win fighter of the year, what does that say about the awful state of this sport

    Hay Danny Boy

    The Problem is coming for that ASS

    I've changed my mind. Also voting for Broner.

    - but this doesn't mean I'll be agreeing with Earl again anytime soon! :D

    My personal choices would be between Carl Froch and Adrien Broner.
    Carl Has responded so well and is looking a different animal in the ring and as for Broner,he's had a exceptional year and is looking like a real star.

    On another note,I really hope Burn's vs broner happen's soon :thumbsup

    Yeah Carl froch has had a good year.

    It's funny how garcia KO's a guy who'd already been ko'd and was coming off a loss, and gets mad props, yet froch demolishes an unbeaten Bute and all we hear is how overhyped Bute was, after hearing beforehand how froch had no hope.

    Broner had a great year indeed, he deserves it more than Garcia for sure. I'd still pick Donaire over both, though

    And wtf with people naming Ward, punk only fought once in the whole year against a beyond drained corpse who got KO'd in sparring. I'd take even Canelo over Ward

    Well, If somebody beat, let's say, a 100% fit Mayweather in spectacular fashion, I think he'd deserve FOTY award for that victory alone.

    but FOTY for beating a weight drained corpse like Dawson? GTFO

    Whoever elects Broner should be banished.
    He weight cheated Escobedo out of a fight and Perez was a coke head collecting a loser check. DeMarco is a decent enough win but Broner's win was practicality predetermined.

    Garcia beat active legend Morales who HAD the WBC title in a close competative fight. He then won the WBA title from one of the best 140 pounders in the world when barley a single boxing pundit gave him any hope of a win. After that he silenced more critics with a blowout in a mandatory rematch with Morales.

    He was a nobody last year and is now WBC , WBA Ring magazine champion. Its a no brainer.

    It was just an opinion,don't banish me :lol:

    Broner's still had a big year thou mate,but i do agree that Garcia has had a big year.But for me Amir got sucked in by he's old man and fought Garcia's fight(Wrong move) and Morales has been a fading force for awhile now.

    In another thread I said Sergio Martinez but I have since been convinced that Nonito Donaire is the fighter of the year. He's been very active, has fought impressive competition and has won three titles.

    Donaire, Garcia or Viloria
    Any of these is understandable for me
