I agree pavlik should get it! On the other hand mayweather won a good fight against oscar but instead of fighting hatton he should of fought the #1 contender at WW it's only right after all it was for that title if he would of had won then he would of deserved fighter of year hands down!!! But pavlik gets the nod in my opinion!!!!!!!
As a Pavlik fan, I would like to believe that Kelly's explosion onto the world scene was more impressive than Floyd's year. However - Floyd was involved in back-to-back largest fights of the year. The De La Hoya/Mayweather fight kickstarted a great year for boxing and Mayweather was at least 1/2 responsible for that.
If being in the 2 largest fights in a year is the main reason you think Floyd should win, then I guess you also feel DLH has been robbed of a few "Fighter if the Year" titles as well. I would be inclined to give it to Mayweather, but almost by default. In terms of the actual fights and what was expected, I don't think Mayweather did enough. But then again, no one else did either.
Let me get this straight, Floyd needs to beat PW to be recognized as a great fighter :huh :-( ........he's the best fighter today.
Tell your boy to stop actin like a gangsta unless he's gonna BE gangsta. Margarito punked his ass out and he fought a guy that can't beat any of the top welters for the what........oh, the Welterweight Title. And did I say Floyd didn't have skills? No, even I recognize him as PFP #1, but he doesn't deserve to be fighter of the year.
