    I see it as a three-way race between Donaire, Hopkins, and Ward, then Pac and V. Klit, and then Rios. In the end, I think Hopkins would get it with Donaire a close second followed by Ward. If Dawson upsets Hopkins or Hopkins just manages a very close UD over Dawson, then Donaire will win the FOTY.

    Two best wins excluding upsets in future fights. Ortiz then would only have Berto as a win which does not qualify him as Fighter of the Year.

    :patschIvan Calderon could probably knock you out. You are also a sick Calzaghe nuthugger and have a sad obsession with him. Thank you for showing how big of an idiot you are.

    Pascal is physically a monster.

    In my opinion, Hopkins didn't look the least big finished in his extraordinary performance against a game challenger that resembled a pitbull with his tenacity, but proved to be a kitten when it came to being surprised by what was a wolf in sheep's clothing.

    Dawson was formerly pfp #3 fighter in the sport, and posesses possibly the most elusive defense in boxing. Dawson does seemingly lack the mentality of a fighter that is willing to harm his opponent and often looks uncomfortable in his attack, but still manages to often dominate his opponent with his hard to hit style and smooth if not potentially ineffectual punching, often from counterpunches.

    He's not to be looked down upon and dismissed. He also is currently trained by the trainer of current heavyweight titlist Wladimir Klitschko, and Miguel Cotto who looked solid against a dedicated fighter with fast footwork in Foreman, and a man fighting for his career to be resurrected and even in his loss proved to be a very capable and formidable opponent who again was hit with a huge punch in the last round of the sport.

    With that said, Hopkins who recently made history as the oldest lineal titleholder in the sport, has a difficult road ahead...

    Calderon wouldn't have the reach to touch me, I'm 184lbs, 6'3 with a high tight guard with a snappy jab and the ability to land the right hand. I'm also undefeated as a professional boxer and had 80 amateur bouts, losing only 6.

    He is far more talented as a boxer than I am but the physicality would render him incompetent, much like a prodigy child martial artist attempting to take on Brock Lesnar.

    If Ortiz somehow beats Mayweather, it's him no question. After that, I would go with Donaire by a nudge as having the two best wins overall. That said, if Hopkins got it, I'd have no issue with that at all due to his historic achievement, even though I think Donaire, Pacquiao and Ward will have had better wins overall.
