Dont take ESPY seriously..

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

The entire thing is a popularity contest..So by definition, Floyd's not the best fighter?

1993 Riddick Bowe 1994 Evander Holyfield 1995 George Foreman 1996 Roy Jones Jr. 1997 Evander Holyfield 1998 Evander Holyfield 1999 Oscar De La Hoya 2000 Roy Jones Jr. 2001 Felix Trinidad 2002 Lennox Lewis 2003 Roy Jones Jr. 2004 Antonio Tarver (LOL) 2005 Bernard Hopkins 2006 Oscar De La Hoya 2007 Floyd Mayweather Jr. 2008 Floyd Mayweather Jr. 2009 Manny Pacquiao 2010 Floyd Mayweather Jr. 2011 Manny Pacquiao 2012 Floyd Mayweather Jr. The voters have spoken

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).

So I assume now Mayweather's fans think ESPN once again knows Boxing.

Only take it serious when Pacquiao wins, not Floyd, right?

Pac-tards still hate life I see... god needs to bless their little souls so they can move on.

Again, it's NOT FOTY, it's an award just called "Best Fighter". cry more, someone might care! haha

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! 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. http://middleeasy.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2436:in-2006-dana-white-approved-of-people-posing-as-fans-and-leaking-videos-to-message-boards&catid=34:organizations "This is not a hoax, all of this has been verified.

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.

If so I would of given the MMA award to Jon Jones No doubt, jones a beast.

I really wish they would have separate categories for boxers and MMA fighters. If so I would of given the MMA award to Jon Jones

Again, it's NOT FOTY, it's an award just called "Best Fighter". But its Annual therefore FOTY

: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?

Boxing was and is more mainstream than UFC. No knock on the UFC, just the truth.

pretty much sums it up
