Is Diego Corrales the Fighter of the Year?

Does anyone know if Chico fighting again this year or will he be waiting on Castillo for early next year?

Right now it is probably Diego. I think after he defeats Glen Johnson it will have to be Antonio Tarver.

This is pretty hard to choose. These are the front runners. Corrales beat Casamayor, but was rocked late in the fight. He beat Freitas, who by most was not rated a pound for pound great. Other then Casamayor, Freitas never fought anyone of substance other than Corrales. Barrera knocked out Ayala and defeated Morales, Morales was rated by most as the number 3 pound for pound fighter in the world, only behind Mayweather and Hopkins. Ayala may have been on the short end of the stick as far as his age, but he was never dominated in that sort of fashion before in his life and never knocked out either. Tarver knocked out the number one pound for pound fighter in the world, even though it was two rounds and at this point, Johnson is the number two lightheavyweight in the world. Should Tarver beat Johnson, especially by KO, he may get consideration. Then there is Hopkins, beat up Robert Allen to end their trilogy, Allen not the best fighter but a very tough opponent and then went on to knock out De La Hoya for the first time in his career.

Right now this minute it's Diego Corrales. with the EM loss, that what i was also think...chico is the man, for now

Right now this minute it's Diego Corrales.

Nautilus.... Freitas has been knocked down & knocked out, far less than Sharmba Mitchell has been. So.....get off the "glass jaw" routine.

antonio (if he wins against johnson) or chico.

Tarver beats Johnson.....I think it has to be Antonio. Even though he only has one big win this year, he has made the biggest impact. Well this Roy Jones is obviously not the same man who defeated Ruiz so I don't consider Tarver beating him that big a deal. If Johnson can knock him out anyone can!

Is Diego Corrales the Fighter of the Year? yes! i think so

i'm sorry but Barrera might be the comeback fighter but Corrales will win the fighter of the year award, Morales could of had a chance if he beat barrera but he didn't. a hard-fought win over Hernandez and a KO over Barrera, might have done it. But it didn't happen...

the win over ayala was nothign. ayala was inactive and had all but retired. corrales beat two p4p borderline guys.

chico should give casa a rematch. i think the fighter of the year is mab after making a comeback and beating both ayala and morales

that dancing guy was the #1 ranked lightweight and was undefeated and he also beat casamayor ;) The no-mass dancer was KDed many times. I think Mitchell is ways better (ofcourse no direct comparison is possible).

I think it will go to Corrales based on his wins against Casamayor and Freitas but I say either Corrales or Tarver. I thought Casamayor beat Corrales in thier rematch and he struggled and was losing against Freitas until Acelino got tired. Tarver not only beat Jones but knocked him out after so many people thought Jones was going to beat him easily. If he beats Johnson convincingly then I think he should get the honor of being called fighter of the year. It would of been a easy decision for me if Morales would of beat Barrera.

I think Kostya is the fighter of the year. Chico beat up some glass-chinned, sambo-dancing guy. What's the big deal? that dancing guy was the #1 ranked lightweight and was undefeated and he also beat casamayor ;)

Kostya only fought once. If you include Kostya in the mix, then Trinidad deserves a mention too, but to me "Fighter of the Year" includes the whole year and Kostya was absent most of it. Yeah, but he was recovering from his injuries, and the recovery has been spectacular
