ESPn: Fighter of year is.... Canelo

If you're basing it off the best quality win, then I'd say either Mayweather or Fury.

If you're basing it off full year performance (more quantity than quality) then I'd say Roman or GGG.

Either way, I can't see it being Canelo.

 

I would have gave it to Roman

Beating Leon, Sosa and Viloria does not give you the edge over a Pacquiao or a Klit win. Sorry.

Pacquiao and Klit were very good coming in, and are much better fighters than those 3. By far.

 

Well, since you put it that way.....:happy

We'll all be hearing him sing in Hell, because listening to Fury sing is the DEFINITION of being in Hell.

 

Bit of an odd choice. :conf

 

Not really. ESPN has a long history of tongue-wagging over redheads and giving them undue attention beyond their abilities or achievement.

Heather Cox, Rachel Nichols... :deal

 

:good

 

Any relation to the great one? :think

 

Dunno, she kind of resembles how you'd imagine the offspring of the Worm and Christina Hendricks might look. :think

 

precisely.

I think Fury has the best win out of the bunch, in the most convincing manner.

 

DeGale
Selby
McDonnell
Fury

Had a better 2015 than Canelo in my opinion.

 

Interesting call with Selby. Montiel is a terrific name, but I guess it boils down to how "done" you think he was heading in. (though he was certainly game on the night, and was unbeaten over a four year stretch)

...and Gradovich was a reigning titlist with four defenses and considered at worst third best in the division. :think

 

so many others could have been it
but canelo is canelo
getting decisions he doesn't deserve

 

Hey, that's only happened once, that we actually know of.*

* (unless you count the CJ Ross card, as he deserved to lose by UD rather than merely a MD)

** (and there are still question marks over his pair of decisions over El Titere ...sure would love for some footage to surface...)

 

I just saw a Top Rank tweet positing that Viktor Postol deserves a mention.

Weird.

Matthysse was a pretty big upset and very nice win, but who the hell is the other guy Postol beat in 2015? Jake Giuriceo? I've literally never heard of this person.
