Fighter of the year will be Andre Dirrell or Andre Ward.

I echo a few people in this thread, saying that Ward beating Green and Dirrell might not be enough. If Dirrell wins, he certainly gets it, for beating undefeated Abraham and Ward, who were both favorites to win the tournament when he beat them (or at worst, Abraham was an extremely close second choice to win it). Sergio Martinez or Fernando Montiel getting a big win in their second fight of the year could make them the fighter of the year.

This is more about Dirrell than Green. Dirrell IMO is the best 168 Pounder on the planet. So two good wins in a tournament within the division is a big deal. Especially for a young guy like either Andre. Clottey IMO is garbage. Hes mediocre at best. Green is also not a good fighter IMO. But Ward doesnt have the luxury of picking guys to fight he literally is forced to fight whoever he has to which is why the guys in the tourney deserve mad props. I'll wait until after the Ward-fight to say that but yeah, I like Dirrell. He's my favourite fighter in the Super Six. But he looked like shit not to long ago against Froch. Carl ****ing Froch. I now it was he first big fight and all, but still. This is ridiculous. Clottey is a former champion, Green is not. Clottey has some wins against decent names on his resume (and should have Cotto too) Green hasn't beaten ANYBODY. Clottey is ranked 6th in welter by The Ring, Green not top10 in SMW etc. I like the format, but it's not like the tournament is stacked with ATG fighters though.

"It should go to guys in the Super 6 who cant cherry pick fighters. They are fighting the best." Ward just fought Green, so I guess... You make it sound like Clottey is some bum that is worthless, and Ward just beat an A-level fighter in Green. Like I said, Clottey is a better WW then Green is a SMW yet you give Pacquiao pretty much zero credit and Ward props. What's up with that? I agree, but that doesn't mean that Bute isn't a huge threat to everybody in the Super Six. He would definately be a front runner in the tournament. This is more about Dirrell than Green.

Did I call Allan Green the best? Bute doesnt get gravy points while he fights scrubs. The guys in the Super 6 are putting in work. Dirrell is better than ANY and EVERY win on Bute's resume.

David Haye will be nommed as Fighter OTY in the UK. Thank you please, yes.

I had no idea that Lucien Bute was part of the Super Six! Allen Green the best? Get outta here! Clottey is a better welter then Green is a SMW. Did I call Allan Green the best? Bute doesnt get gravy points while he fights scrubs. The guys in the Super 6 are putting in work. Dirrell is better than ANY and EVERY win on Bute's resume.

I totally disagree with Burner. I think this could potentially be the WORST fight in a long time. Here's why... 1. Andre Dirrell can be very negative, If he adapts the same "rabbit in the headlights" running strategy that he used agaisnt Froch then it could be very boring and un-entertaining. 2. Ward likes to wrestle his opponents to death and when he cant do that, He adopts a headbutting strategy instead. He does more clinching and mauling than he does boxing and that is a fact. It's not "inside fighting" what he does, Inside fighting is totally different. What Ward does is holding and hitting and just mauling the guy to death. I can't see this fight being good to watch. Just can't see it... lol I didnt say this would be FIGHT of the year. I said the winner would be FIGHTER of the year.

It should go to guys in the Super 6 who cant cherry pick fighters. They are fighting the best. I had no idea that Lucien Bute was part of the Super Six! Allen Green the best? Get outta here! Clottey is a better welter then Green is a SMW.

Montiel for me. 3 fights Morales -- undefeated prospect Has -- wbo/wbc unification. :(. Sad day for me since I'm a Hozumi fan Concepcion -- same Concepcion that Donaire struggled against All under 5 rounds KO/TKO

Juanma had a pretty good year and if Martinez gets a big fight I would say he is in the running as well. Andre Dirrell would have beaten two top notch undefeated PRIME fighters though. Ward would have two solid wins as well but compared to Dirrell if he won, it's nothing. However the frontrunner is easily Fernando Montiel. If he beats Donaire there is nothing you can tell me otherwise, he is fighter of the year, period.

It's Ward or Martinez. We'll know by Christmas.

If Sergio Martinez gets a solid win he could get it.... Juanma definetly is up there if he beats marquez (imo juanma is favorite to win). And if Miguel Cotto say beats Berto at 154 or 147 he can definetly be thrown into the equation. Likewise if Berto beats Cotto.

Theres just to much time left to say this. HAHA at first i though it was about the 2 most boring fighters. Then i was like ooohhhhhhhhhhh to have any of these 2 fighters would be a horrible representation of our sport

He only had one fight this year, against a Pavlik who was decimated and turned to alcohol two years ago. :rofl::rofl: 0:57-2:27

what about sergio if he beats paul williams that aint bad beating pavlik and the punisher

fernando montiel deserves it if he beats donaire

NO! Pacquiao is better than them. Juanma after he beats Rafa is a serious candidate. JMM too if he can beat another fighter.

to Dans, why is that such a bad win reugardless? had this been made a year or two ago we'd laugh at the fact of manny fighting guys this size, not to mention top 5 guys of the WW division(yes clotty)

I dont really think the billy goat or the actor are FOTY material, both good wins over kessler and aa but there was something just not quite right with them too
