    2 fights, the first one likely the fight of the year when it's all said and done, the second one a clear win over a first-ballot HOF'er coming off of his biggest win.... knock the guy all you want, but that's a helluva year for any fighter to have.

    I'd say Mayweather and/or Garcia might be just ahead of him.

    He will probably get foty vs Provodnikov

    Garcia,Mayweather,Stevenson all had good year too.
    My pick is Stevenson, his performance over Cloud was a surprise, he showed he has some skill to go with his power.

    For sure, though Mayweather will win and probably rightly so

    I watched it with the sound off and was no where near a clear win.. some of you people are going a little OTT. It was a close decision but there was nothing outstanding about it.

    It was closer than it should have been because Bradley coasted the last third of the fight a little. He won 6-7 of the first 8 rounds and won round 10

    Forgot about Stevenson for ftoy, he is a contender too.

    The Provodnikov fight being a fight of the year candidate should have absolutely no bearing on Bradley being fighter of the year, especially given how lowly regarded Provodnikov was going into it. Floyd is still on top, and I'd put Rigondeaux ahead too if he handles Agbeko easily.

    Floyd should win it this year. 2 dominant performances over a guy who hadn't lost in 7-8 years in The Ghost and than his dominating victory over a top 10 P4P guy in Canelo.

    i think desert storm earned a fight with floyd and he earned it the hard way. i just dot think he will get the fight because he is top rank and it would be hard to sale the fight. but he deserves it i think.
