2014 Fighter of the Year: Naoya "Monster" Inoue

I think you're right, but somebody else made that one.

Stay tuned for the "Individual Performance of the Year" thread. :good I'm going to make it when the F'erOTY polls close.

 

I agree but am slightly less disappointed in those going for Kovalev or Crawford than Pac/May spammers junking up the poll. (and in myself for creating the opportunity for them, naively hoping they'd be satisfied with the place on the ballot and leave well enough alone, or that an honor system wouldn't be abused)

Disappointed nonetheless. I think Kovalev vs. Crawford makes for a fascinating debate for the #2 spot, but anyone calling either F'erOTY is exposing themselves as being totally ignorant of the sub-feather and/or far Eastern scene, which is sorely disappointing considering much of what really deserves attention in boxing is happening within that nexus of late. :verysad

 

Inoue is first to 50...but Crawford is gaining rapidly! :scaredas:

 

I wish I had that much free time!

 

Sneak peek (work in progress)...

Kovalev UD12 Hopkins
Inoue KO2 Narváez
Drozd UD12 Wlodarczyk
Mundine UD12 Rabchenko
Gonzalez TKO9 Yaegashi
Klitschko KO5 Pulev
Usyk TKO9 Venter
Golovkin TKO3 Geale
Walters TKO6 Donaire
Persoon TKO9 Prazak
Crawford UD12 Beltran
Inoue TOK6 Hernandez
Frampton UD12 Martinez
Marquez UD12 Alvarado
Froch TKO8 Groves
Beterbiev KO2 Cloud
DeGale TKO4 Periban


I may add or subtract. (obviously will have to pare down somewhat, as that is seventeen right there and polls only fit ten options maximum...)

 

Inoue and Crawford now tied.

 

I actually wouldn't be too upset if they were tied when the poll expires, as we could then do a 1-on-1 runoff poll between them and eliminate all the junk Pac votes.

 

Another 48 hours...
