2007 ESPY Best Fighter Award

^^Cotto above Mayweather!?

I say Pacman.

 

Tough decision between Pac and Couture. . . Id have to go with Couture for taking on the tougher comp (moving up to beat the HW champ)

This is a good test to show how much MMA has grown. MMA fighters fight top opposition much more often than boxers - although I like boxing more than MMA - its hard to look past this fact.

 

who cares? The ESPYs are a farce anyway

 

why are they lumping boxers and mixed martial artists together?

 

good ****ing call. :fire:fire:fire

 

Couture is 44 years old (43 at his last fight), went up a weight class, and won a title in dominating fashion. He deserves it.

 

Tougher competition? Probably not, but tougher matchup, Sylvia had a huge size advantage and was coming off a win over the best HW submission wrestler (well, maybe second or third behind Roger Gracie and Ricardo Arona) in the world which Sylvia won by using his massive size, whereas Baldomir and Oscar played right into Floyds hands. I could see the vote going to Floyd as well, but I think Couture deserves it more. Plus he would beat any of the other 4 to bits.

 

ESPN is eternally gay for doing this. There should be two categories. Best Boxer, and Best Mixed Martial Artist. Period. You can't combine the two. Somebody needs to hold these douchebag suits accountable for making these lame-brain decisions. Those numbnuts are too ****in' stupid to even include Fedor.

 

He entered the UFC as a heavyweight, but was always a small heavyweight, and has been fighting at 205 for 4 years. The age is what cinches it for me, he is doing this at an age when it was considered a miracle when Foreman did it, and Foreman didn't do it in nearly the style that Couture has. The end sentance was a joke d-bag, hence the smiley.

I am a fan of boxing and MMA both, along with almost all other combat sports, you are clearly the fanboy, you are the one with the closed mind saying things like "this is a boxing award and needs to be kept that way", what a rediculous statement, its a fighters award. The others are all deserving in their own right, but I think Couture deserves it the most.

 

Yeah I didn't get that either, if you're going to include MMAer's, why the hell not add Fedor? I would of voted for Fedor. Rampage beat Liddell which is good and all but I won't get over the fact Liddell had his hands down to his waist when he was moving backwords (what an idiot), and Couture..what did he do this year? I think he lost to Liddell and beat Sylvia. Meh..

 

why isnt hatton on the list?
