Who should win fighter of the year? Martinez? Or someone else?

I don't think Adamek or Segura stand any chance. Beating Arreola was good but Grant and Maddalone (!) mean nothing. Segura has one great win but it's not enough.

Assuming they win their upcoming fights, Froch and Ward deserve to be on the shortlist and so does Pacquaio.

Martinez is the clear favourite to win though and I don't think a compelling argument can be made for anyone else.

 

WTF?:nut The only achievements of Ward and Froch so fare are not being able to knock a chump and losing to a half blind guy.

If Pascal can knock B-Hop or even put on a dominating performance against him (something we've not seen since the first RJJ fight), the award should be given to both him and Martinez (The Ring has done it several times in the past).

 

No one except for Martinez and Pascal have a chance of winning it. It will probably be Martinez.

 

Pascal if he beats Hop will have wins over two p4p fighters. Very strong case for fighter of the year. I would vote for Martinez because of the scary KO

 

JuanMa should get some consideration.

 

Winning every round against two good, much bigger, fighters is enough for him to make the short-list. No-one is suggesting he should win but I'd mention him before Adamek.

Right now Martinez. But like someone said PAscal if he looks impressive could be some competition to him.

 

First and foremost I am a Pacquiao fan, but I believe Sergio Martinez deserves to win Fighter Of The Year. Maybe if Clottey had bothered to open up and have a proper fight with Pac, Pac would've demolished him like he did with Margarito, and then there could've been some debate, but Martinez's wins over Pavlik and Williams were more sensational than Manny winning every round vs a negative Clottey, so I go with Sergio.

 

If pascal brutally ko's b-hop I think it should be him

 

1. Sergio Martinez, by dominating Pavlik and crushing Williams.

Other honorable mentions:
2. Lopez, for three straight stoppages over Luevano, Concepcion, and an awesomely entertaining fight with Marquez.

3. Manny Pacquiao, for complete annihilations of Clottey and Margarito.

Pascal could make a case for Fighter of the Year following his victory over Dawson, contingent upon his beating Hopkins and the fashion in which he accomplishes said beating.

Katsidis could too, following his smashing of Kevin Mitchell, if he is able to defeat Juan Manuel Marquez in convincing fashion, which is not particularly likely - which is unfortunate, because I've been a "massive" Katsidis fan ever since I saw his fight with Graham Earl in 2007.
