hard to say exactly but i would not exclude Mayweather- wins over De La hoya, Hatton pavlik- 2 huge ko wins over Taylor and Miranda Israel Vasquez- what a comeback win in a classic FOTY candidate against Marquez
Mayweathers wins were over a semi-retired boxer- part time promoter past his prime, and a huge underdog that only the most delusional wishful thinkers gave a chance to. Pavlick, came out of obscurity to knock out a feared puncher, and won an undisputed title from a top ten p4p, undefeated world champion who was favored to win. Pavlicks fights were more exciting as well. Pavlick should be Fighter of the Year.
This is like the 5th fighter of the year thread in the last 24 hours. Just thought i would mention that.
