Maxboxing's Anti Fighter of the Year for 2012

I would have to go with Gamboa what a waste of prime.

A lot of the guys on the list probably had promoters issues or injury, some of them were plain dumb why other were unfortunate.

I'm trying to decide between Dirrell and Kirkland. Dirrell has a completely wacked out perspective of who he is in boxing, IMO. He's been stalling ever since it started looking like he'd have to face Ward because he sees all the big names do it for their career-defining fights. Too bad he'll go down as just another victim if they ever do fight. After the decisions Kirkland made last year, it's pretty clear he's missing a few screws.

Kirkland because he came off that Angulo win that got us all hyped... then pfffft

gARY rUSSLE HE WAS NAMED PROSPECT OF THE YEAR AND INSTEAD OF STEPPING IT UP A NOTCH BUILDING ON IT HE FOUGHT ABSOLUTE BUMS THE WHOLE YEAR AND DIDNT GAIN ANY THING IN THE 12 MONTHS OR SO

Gotta go with Kirkland. Guy not only turned down a 7 figure payday against Canelo, he's injured, AND he turned his back on pretty much everyone who has ever looked out for him.

Bumping this. What do other people think? If you have a facebook, please go onto Maxboxing's facebook page to officially vote. Thanks.

It's between Dirrell and Peterson

would it be racist if I said I think all the black fighers on that list qualify? cause I think so. easier then typing it all out./ Last year's list was much more "diverse" but it doesn't stop that all these guys in the poll wasted away 2012 whether they are black or not.

Caballero is the only guy who wasn't hurt or coming from an injury and passed up multiple paydays.

My vote goes to Peterson because he was the biggest dumbfuck out of them all. He's either stupid as hell for not knowing those testosterone pellets were illegal and demanding VADA or he's stupid as hell for knowing it was illegal and demanding VADA. Eitherway, the guy is retarded. It's all on him.

Gotta be kirkland,Muthafcker turned down a million dolla payday to fight canelo.Now he looking to be on the shelf awhile. yeah the thing about kirklands fvck up is that it not only costed him in 2012, but could only assume it will effect him in the early part of 2013 too. i mean haven't even heard of him being with a promoter yet after sueing golden boy. i mean gamboa fvcked up too but at least hes cool with top rank/SMS now and actually had a fight recently.

gonna post the nominees in here if u don't mind.. The criteria for the “Anti-Fighter of the Year” are as follows: - Not capitalizing off a positive 2012. - Not backing up a claim at rebounding in 2012, therefore wasting his chance(s). - Turning down a large sum of money, subsequently doing nothing instead. - Failing to remain active. Maxboxing readers are invited to choose the winner, validating him as the fighter who successfully wasted away his 2012.

Here are the candidates: James Kirkland Yuriorkis Gamboa Andre Dirrell Tavoris Cloud Gary Russell Jr. Lamont Peterson Cornelius Bundrage Celestino Caballero Demetrius Andrade Dmitry Pirog Tough choice between Kirkland, Gamboa, and Andre Dirrell imo.
