Who currently so far is the leading candidate for fighter of the year?

[Ganondorf]

I might have to go with Cotto on this one. I think he has resurrected his career in 2014, after being on a downswing since 2011 pretty much.

Not only did he beat Sergio Martinez, but he destroyed Martinez with lethal left hooks and punished him. Maybe just a great night for Miguel, maybe Sergio was old/injured, but certainly nobody has beaten the former MW King in years.

This accomplishment deserves recognition. 6-8 months ago, folks were calling him The Gatekeeper. Now it's The Asskicker. I hope Canelo's is soon.
