Vitali was the only vote option and apparently he voted for himself. He was also the only person allowed to vote thus winning the competition with 100 percent of the votes. Voting started and finished once he'd picked Vitali as fighter of the year.
Boxsport is a German magazine and as that focusses on boxing in germany thus every year that awayrd goes to a fighter fighting mostly in Germany. The only one that can be argued above Vitali is Wlad. Where´s the problem?
Brothers are not one entity, so even if they had 4 fights this year, Vitali got only 2. None of them was against a deserving contender and they were anything but entertaining (unless one likes watching walking punching bags).
Now it's waiting for some British newspaper to announce Haye, Khan or Audley "boxer of the year" and an American paper to give that honor to Floyd jr. or Hopkins. :hey
Can't give it to a German so they give it to one of their adopted sons. Its only a matter of time before they germanize Klitschkos name.
