So far who is the FIGHTER of the YEAR?

The Pacman by far. 2-Belts, the butt-whipping of ODLH, World-acclaim. What more can we say? :wave:

manny with ease

Calzaghe for me but by a small margin Pac are close deserved 2nd.

Actually Hopkins is probably more deserving than Calzaghe because he narrowly lost to Cal and then he beat Pavlik. And JMM is more deserving than Pacman. WHat!!? Pac beat JMM, moved up in weight to dominate Diaz, and then moved up in weight to dominate DLH. You are severly misinformed, kid. For me it is Manny, with Marg a close second...

so far...it depends on who you like :D its a tie b/w calz and pac

If Pacman whips De la Hoya, then undisputably, Pacquiao will garner his 2nd fighter of the year award

Margarito Pac if he were to beat DLH but he won't.

Probably Margarito. Maybe Darchinyan. I missed the Gorres fight, but Darchinyan followed that with wins over two world title holders, including a top 10 ranked p4p fighter in Mijares. Vic didn't just beat him, he dominated him from round 1. Margarito beat two world title holders in possibly the best division in the sport. He kicked Cintron's ass and beat an undefeated young champ in Cotto who was ranked in the top 10 p4p. I really don't see why Calzaghe is getting so much serious consideration. Name value shouldn't really matter, it should be the quality of the wins. Roy Jones has done nothing impressive in the ring since 2003. And he wasn't exactly impressive against Hopkins.

If Pacquiao beats DLH then it's him. Darchinyan deserves a mention, beating Kirilov and Mijares, he also should have gotten that win against Gorres.

Margarito gets it beat a heavy hitting Cintron and THE man at WW in Cotto. Calzaghe gets some credit for Hopkins and a little bit for Jones but a fighter of his caliber shouldnt be fighting has beens.

Pac has 2 big title fight wins, but 1 was disputed. Joe has 2 big title fight wins, but 1 was disputed. Marg has 2 big title fight wins, both by vicious KO. Marg gets the nod here imo.

pacman he beat a top 5 p4per and moved up and took diaz's belt and thats so far

as much as I regret it, I gotta give it to Margarito.

Roy Jones was coming off 3 straight wins and Hopkins is still one of the best p4p fighters in the world. Calzaghe is the fighter of the year! rjj is shot and hopkins arguably beat calz. calz should not be foty

Roy Jones was coming off 3 straight wins and Hopkins is still one of the best p4p fighters in the world. Calzaghe is the fighter of the year! wasnt one of those wins against a very OLD and out of their prime trinidad? calzaghe beat two GREAT GREAT GREAT fighters but he beat them FAR from their prime and that MUST be taken into consideration.

its close in my opinion between margarito and hopkins... margarito for winning a huge fight against cotto and becoming the current legit champ at 147... and hopkins for doing the unthinkable by beating THEE prime middleweight champion...dispite the calzaghe loss...the win over pavlik was HUGE.

What about Calderon?

Actually Hopkins is probably more deserving than Calzaghe because he narrowly lost to Cal and then he beat Pavlik. And JMM is more deserving than Pacman.

Pacquiao - 12SD Marquez, 9TKO Diaz ( Garnering two belts this year WBC Super Featherweight and WBC Lightweight Champ) Calzaghe - 12SD Hopkins, 12UD Jones ( Garnering Light Heavyweight Ring Magazine Belt ) Margarito - KO Cintron, TKO Cotto 9 (Garnering WBO Welterweight belt and Cotto's WBA/WBC Belt? Well if u'll ask me, PACMAN's accomplishment this year is brighter than the rest since he became a 4-division Champ. How about you boxing freaks?:boxing: BHOP should have been included. controversial loss to top3 p4p fighter, and a schooling of the undefeated #1 middleweight AT AGE 43. I'm not a hopkins fan, but that does warrant a nomination for a fighter of the year prize.
