Hey man, one of the best has to be your rap video. Been showing it to people who I think would appreciate it. Nice job on that one. - Jason
For glass jaw, I wouldn't put Peter there. He got hit with some big punches he didn't see coming and picked himself off the canvas three times. I think a better choice would be Audley Harrison who was knocked out cold from a lesser shot. I agree with many of the other picks though...

i love klitschko too but all his fights were one sided...not really any noise for the whole division..mabey just himself...but since vitali and maskaev have been playing ding dong ditch, it left the division this year into ****...but think about it...this has been the BEST year of boxing in along time NOTHANKS to the heavyweights...do we really need heavyweights??? naw....they should stop ****in around and unify already....cuz nobody out there can dust klitschko...NOBODY.. i forgot what my point was..:huh
and my fighter of the year is gerry penalosa. managed to make ponce de leon pitty-pat en route to a lopsided but very arguable decision, then went on to beat gonzales by ko to win his 2nd world championship. all in the tender age of 35
