Fighters Who Had an Outstanding Year, but didn't win 'Fighter of the Year'?

Joe Louis had a great 1935, stopping former champions Carnera and Baer, and tough contenders Levinski and Uzcudun. But he did not get the Fighter of the Year award. Neither did he receive it in 1937 when he won the heavyweight title. He did, however, win it for 1936 - the year of his first professional defeat by Max Schmeling. Now I'm a huge fan of Joe Louis but I feel that Schmeling's successful preparation, strategy and execution in that stunning upset should have earned him the award that year (and the title shot with Braddock as well.)

Totally agree. And I am a big fan of Schmeling.
