FOTY winner list since they started including MMA fighters as nominees in '07
2007- Floyd
2008- Floyd
2009- Pac
2010- Floyd
2011- Pac
2012- Floyd
This proves that Pac n Floyd is the only thing alot of people know of boxing but atleast they know boxers or better than MMA fighters!
I don't get why people say Ward, he fought once since the last ESPY's.
He fought in December and while he beat a very good opponent it is not like it was a real memorable fight and it was several months before voting started.
Floyd fought twice since the last ESPY's and both fights were memorable plus one was very fresh in peoples minds.
There was NO WAY Ward could win like that, it was impossible.
IMO, the more deserving fighter of both MMA & Boxing has to be either Andre Ward or Jon Jones.
they were basing that off of 2011 performances.... so for floyd to get the nod for a weird controversial win over ortiz that left ALOT of people bitter is a bit suspect. i would NO DOUBT consider his performance with cotto for next year though. espy for floyd 2013.
but award was for "best fighter".... i just cant see floyd matching jon jones or andre ward in the year of 2011.
• abraham/froch > ortiz
• rua/rampage/machida > ortiz
at least boxing finished on top again :)
That Ortiz fight had an amazing ending bro...Everyone was excited as hell to see that shocker, and Floyd finally showed that killer instincts...but the replay showed the ref not looking away and it made it seem like it was dirty...if the ref was looking, people wouldnt even care...they would be like, "Dayumn, that was raw"..and its my favorite Floyd KO

I don't mind Floyd winning, although I soundly believe Ward was more deserving (i should mention i don't watch mma, so i really don't count their guys).

Huh? 2 of the best boxers alive to today win the award for best fighter and it proves these are the only guys people know? Get back to sherdog you limp brained MMA troll. It shows not a single person gives a **** about any MMA fighter that's what it shows. That's what happens when you exaggerate your PPV buys and higher people to create fake user accounts to pose as MMA fans on the internet.

Nah Fu.k all that, Floyd won, and Im GONE Take it seriously...Floyd and Pac are potentially the two GREATEST fighters of ALL time, and they both fight in this era...How can an MMA Fighter compete with them, when MMA Is a baby sport that hasnt even been around that long...and as far as Boxing goes, Floyd and Pac are the only two BIG legends out..One of them will just about always win..Ward will never beat Floyd or Pac on that, cuz Ward is a baby legend..It takes time, and it will be yrs before he is considered a legend..Hell it wont be enough great fighters for him to beat, to be called a legend in this era

LOOKING AT FOTY AND THE RING P4P List from 2000 to 2010 AND ITS A DAM SHAME THAT FLOYD DIDNT WIN FIGHTER OF THE DECADE. WHEN 2000 BEGAN THERE WAS ONLY ONE FIGHTER ON THE LIST THAT WAS STILL ON THE LIST IN 2010 AND THATS FLOYD MAYWEATHER.
I LOVE BOXING AND BOXERS BUT FLOYD IS RIGHT NO MATTER WHAT HE DOES HE CAN NEVER WIN.
:lol1: so the 2 times after mayweather took long layoffs PAC won
Mayweather is one of the richest most popular athletes in the world
MoneyMay # 1 am i right?
