    How did your favorite fighter do this year? Give him your final grade.

    Fighter: Wlad
    Record: 3-0, 2kos

    Good news: Dominated two quality defensive southpaws. Unified two major titles. Active (three fights), re-established jab and right cross as two of the best weapons in boxing, mastering style to protect paper mache chin, tremendous dedication, improving stamina and intelligence

    Bad news: Looked hesitant at times, lacking punch variety, needs to mix up his game a little bit more to confuse opponents, growing hatred from boxing fans due to style and lack of competitive fights. Losing Povetkin as a potential W hurt his grade.

    Final Grade: B

    My favourite is Pac but I think there will be 20 people grading him inside 5 mins.

    So Ill move on to my second favourite who is Cotto...

    Destroyed Gomez in a disgusting mismatch...but I was one of those people that didnt think it would be that bad, I thought it was just you average mismatch.
    Nice win but not the best opponant.

    Gave an excellent performance against a monster in AM but tired, got beaten up and got stopped.

    1-1 (1Ko..1Ko loss)

    I guess because he didnt do much else this year he would be a C+ or something...but he shall return next year with a A+++, mark my words.

    Mayorga - D *remark - retire after angulo
    Miranda - F *work on your boxing and defense more, new trainer
    Cotto - C+ *spend entire training camp on being the matador and stamina for margarito 2, you can do this!
    Judah - C- *go to 140 and fight malignaggi, then move on to holt, reclaim some luster at your old division.
    Hatton - B- *Fight with Pac will be huge and winnable.... if not pac, bradley or holt is a must
    Andrade - B- *great job against bute, do more and start earlier in rematch
    Pac - A *lots of options, great year.... looking better and better everytime out but is this due to his comp? fight one of jmm, baby bull, hatton or campbell next

    Pac - A = He has become the new face of boxing with his stellar year.
    Taylor - C- = I had him winning in the 2nd Pavlik fight but he should of done more at the end.
    Izzy - A- = Even though he had 1 fight, he won it spectacularly.
    Cunningham - D+ = Needs to be active and needs to stay a disciplined boxer
