    contenders; only counting fights from January 1st 2025 to present.

    Innoue
    Usyk
    Bivol
    Crawford

    I am going with Innoue. Fought quite a bit and showed tremendous consistency.

    Yeah Inoue for me.

    Crawford's win over ginger was especially impressive but fighting once a year just isn't enough to be fighter of the year in my view.

    Naoya Inoue for sure. 3, soon to be 4, defenses of his undisputed titles (including a big win over MJ) in a single calendar year is insane.

    Crawford's single win over Canelo isn't enough

    Crawford, or Inoue because of activity.

    On a global scale, i think id go Inoue.

    If we can just pick whos had a impressive year in general, Conah Walker. Hes my fighter of the year.

    The Fighter of the year will be decided next weekend

    If AJ manages to pull it off and beats Jake ''Money'' Paul he hands down deserves it

    And if Jake "Money" Paul manages to beat the former 2 x three-belt unified HW champ of the world AJ he will have B2B victories over AJ and Julio Cesar Chavez

    And if there were 13 months in a year instead of 12 he would have B2B victories over AJ, Julio Cesar Chavez and Mike Tyson which would be the best three fight run of wins in the history of the sport

    I dunno man, i remember Kell Brook became world champion and then defended the belt against Ionut Dan Ion, Frankie Gavin & Kevin Bizier all within the space of 12 months. Thats a 3 fight streak thats up there with the greatest of world title defences

    :lol: In addition to that he fought GGG and Spence B2B after that historic three fight streak albeit admittedly he was stepping down a couple of levels vs the later 2

    Fabio's a solid call. Expect them to stack it on Crawford. But me? I'm riding with Inoue

    Not sure how defending your belts vs mediocre opposition is fighter of the year worthy.
