    Inoue for me.

    I think if Crawford had followed up the momentum of the Spence win with a title @154 or defending against Boots, he'd have had more of a shout.

    Hard for me to consider Haney when he obviously lost to Loma.

    Part of me feels J-Park deserves it for schooling that dosser and hopefully ridding the sport of him once and for all

    But Inoue is the rightful winner

    Inoue, it's easy. In two fights he became undisputed champion in a new weight class.

    Inoue, undisputed in his 2nd weight category and a champion overall in 4 weight divisions and he made it look easy and didn't even wait to settle in at 122 and went straight for the champions which is why his achievements trump Crawford's this year.

    Inoue FOTY
    Crawford performance of the year

    please not Haney for FOTY, he got gifted a win vs Loma and shouldnt be gifted an award on top. I would have Tszyu, Benavidez and Crawford above Haney for FOTY as well.

    Inoue, and the fact there is even an argument just reminds me how much everyone overrated Spence.

    Better than Zhang beating a stiff twice in non-title fights.

    Billam Smith?
    Davis?

    There are a few on that list that shouldn’t be there ahead of Tszyu.

    I saw some stuff on social media claiming Bill Haney pushed the Prograis fight back so that Devin could finish his cycle with Victor Conte and taper off prior to fight night while testing clean for any tests conducted during training camp. Also they are saying illegal diuretics and illegal rehydration IV’s to help stack on 11kg for fight night.

    Wrong poll, this isn't the greatest victory of a boxing debutant.
