    The other guy was Roger Federer. The Wimbledon fanatics (and of course the BBC) love him, hence him being up there.

    EXACTLY! :good
    bbc are full of ****! & always will be. :twisted:

    the awards is irrelavent when they just concentrate on British Only Mainstream sports that have been covered by bbc.

    for example...Manny didnt even get a mention! like he doesnt exist.

    His fights aren't shown on BBC so they would never choose him.

    Shane Warne won it in 2005 mainly on the strength of his Ashes performances as seen on Channel Four....

    BBC only generally gives awards to sports people who are on BBC.

    They gave up on Boxing, and would not give any award to a boxer.

    Thats the reason why you get olympic divers getting nominated who are nothing, like the boy Tom. What a joke!

    Nominations are nothing to do with the BBC.

    There is an inherent problem for boxers with these type of awards stemming from the fragmented nature of the sport and the fact that they perform so rarely.

    If we take Manny Pacquiao as an example, what has he done this year? Beat one guy who may or may not have been the best light welterweight around at the time and one guy who most people probably didn't consider the best welterweight around at the time.

    Someone like Federer, on the other hand, plays tens of tournaments per year and to win them has to beat the best opposition. We all know that Rafael Nadal is the best guy he can meet and we know that they'll end up playing each other five or six times a year on average.

    It's hard to count out Usain Bolt, but that Pacquiao wasn't even nominated is a disgrace.

    It's a factual comment, not an opinion?
