Found this quote very interesting:

"Let’s face it, there aren’t many bona-fide stars with crossover name recognition who campaign below featherweight. (That’s the reason THE RING went with Marquez as Fighter of the Year for 2012 instead of Donaire. JMM is an established legend who knocked out a superstar. Personally, I agree with the BWAA’s choice of Donaire as Fighter of the Year.") -Doug Fischer

I agree with that. This is also why I say Donaire will never be P4P #1. It doesn't matter if he deserves it, fighting in the less meaningful midget divisions always loses fighters points.

That's just stupid. But coming from you it's not surprising.

Have no problem with Marquez winning the award, he'd be my pick over Donaire. He fought an ATG and won in a manner that is simply remarkable.

Yessir!!!! It was supposed to be a nice little gift to Pacquiao from the WBO but Marquez came through and pissed on their party.

Marquez definitely deserved it over Donaire.
