    Ward.
    There's a case for Marquez after he whipped Pacquiao and it would be pretty funny if he was named considering the way Arum had him so cynically and shamelessly robbed. Someone needs to ban him from this sport pronto. (Arum, not Marquez obviously)
    **** it. I've convimced my self. Marquez it is.

    Donaire and Wlad had pretty good years as well.

    I applaud all that Ward has accomplished, but I don't think a fighter with his boring style deserves to be given such an award.

    Ward can possibly be FOTY- Win over Abraham was Ok, but put on a great performance against a live titleholder in Froch. You have to respect that

    Donaire does not deserve it- His TKO win over Montiel was special but inactivity can be a *****, his last win was far from being p4p impressive.

    Hopkins- Dawson ****ed up Hopkins's plans

    Salido- Dethroned Juanma in a thrilling fight and made two title defences winning by knockout. But against lesser opposition. Not enough though

    Juan Manuel Marquez- Legitimately deserves being FOTY. His ko win over Ramos should not even be counted, but his performance against Pacquiao should. He beat Pacquiao in a textbook manner despite all the odds being against him. MARQUEZ FOR FOTY

    Style preference shouldn not be taken into account when discussing FOTY. That is unfair

    for me it's between Ward who decisioned Abraham and Froch and Donaire who KTFO Montiel in two rounds and then decisioned Narvaez

    I think Jorge Arce deserves to be in the discussion as well. Ward will probably win it though.

    I think it should because a worthy candidate for fighter of the year has to not only exhibit skills, but be entertaining as well.

    Fight of the year, or round of the year never goes to boring fighters like Ward.

    FOTY should be Marquez.

    That would be justice.
