Of course! Inoue fights 4 times, against solid opponents, gets shat on. Bud fights a hobbling shell of Canelo, who's never been great against slick fighters. Every boxing publication on the planet gives him a sloppy blowjob. So ****ing predictable.
Probably gave it to Crawford because he retired and had never been voted fighter of the year by them.
Should have been Inoue (4 undisputed defenses) or Bam (ran over two undefeated world champs like a Mack truck running over a deer). But understandable. Jumped up two weight classes to face an (aging) ATG and absolutely whooped his ass.
Inoue clearly deserved it, impressively defeating 4 prime contenders. But as I expected, Terence Crawford, who has one win over a faded slow-footed boxer, is chosen because he's an American.
