My vote goes to Floyd Mayweather. He has won the biggest fight if the year and holds two lineal titles at the same time. Adonis Stevenson deserves a mention as well as Garcia
Not many deserving fighters this year. Mayweather beat sure wins. Stevenson was impressive but Dawson was coming off a knockout lose. GGG has yet to step up in competition. I picked Garcia because his fight with Lucas but it was like picking the least of two evils.
rigos lone win over donaire desrves it imo he beat a better fighter than floyd,garcia combined /... and decisively
also bradley stepped up after a foty and faced the man who beat the man and took him down
just cause he had a close won with ruslan doesnt mean does not deserve it look wat ruslan just did to alvarado ...and bradley went toe to toe bar maybe pacquiao no one is goin shot for shot with ruslan
bradley rigo adonis
but thy will give it to floyd for his win over teh 22yr old hype job canoli
im sorry did you say donaire is better then floyd garcia combined ?!? are you retarted??
Rigondeaux or Bradley. Both beat top 5 p4p fighters, and assuming Rigo beats Agbeko both have a solid second win to back up the big win.
I don't see how anyone could possibly deserve it over one of those two.
This^^Co-Signed..
rigondeaux..by far has the biggest win of any fighter this year and he did it CONVINCINGLY
what's more convincing than a first round ko over an undefeated and champion? I'll tell you
what it isn't, it's not a 12 round ud.

Bredley loses points for the Ruslan fight. Garcia is my front runner, followed by Rigo, Stevenson, and Floyd. That's it.
??? How does Bradley lose points for being the winner of 2013's Fight of the Year?
lmao....nonito has accomplished way more than canelo and his top ten p4p ranking was actually justified than canelos...all canelo did was beat trout...
Nonito is :Flush:
If he was really P4P material he wouldnt have looked so ****ty against Rigo bro. Straight up EXPOSED. Caught with his pants down boy:bottle:
Beating Narvaez and Arce = P4P, GTFOH
Who wins FOTY this year? Oh let me guess, Mark Melligen? Drian Francisco? :rofl:
Without looking very bad in the Ruslan fight, I think Bradley would be the unanimous favorite to win it. The Ruslan fight is a negative factor even though he showed heart in that fight, but you don't win sympathy points for looking bad against a fighter that people barely knew and wasn't even in the top 20 P4P list at the time.
Rigo is great and all but Nonito wasnt really all that good. Hyped up to nearly Canelo levels by the Pac stans. There was even a ****ing thread here about him being an ATG :rofl:
I agree with the Canelo fiasco.
That said, I think I would have to give it to Danny Swift.

You can argue Floyd deserves it over Danny...but he doesnt deserve it over Bradley or even Stevenson. Despite this post, popularity doesnt always factor in. Go look at who has won the award.
I think he deserves it over Bradley. Bradley shouldn't get sympathy points for getting his brain bashed in against Ruslan. Yeah, Guerrero wasn't a top ranked fighter and it was a cheap fight, but one can make a case that he was a more proven and higher ranked fighter than Ruslan prior to their fights against Floyd and Bradley. The Marquez fight was better than the Canelo fight, but in terms of winning and looking dominant at the same time, Floyd deserves it.
Beating up a fading Judah is no better than beating up Guerrero. The only argument you can make is Garcia-Matthysse was a better fight than Mayweather-Canelo. In terms of clear-cut performances and popularity, Floyd should win it.

Garcia beat matthysse and zab. No one deserves it more. All y'all thought swift would be ko'd laying in a hospital bed. Upset baby. Mayweather don't deserve it.

Bradley showed a lot of heart and determination against Ruslan, but that fight didn't warranted that he should be the "Fighter Of The Year" when he had trouble pulling off a convincing victory. He had a good technical performance against Marquez, but he didn't completely outclassed him. I think Bradley should get an award for being a part of the "Fight Of The Year" with Ruslan, but i don't think he should be "Fighter Of The Year" coming off a tough war with Ruslan, and a good technical performance against a 40-year-old JMM.
If Floyd doesn't get it, then i think Rigo or Garcia should get it.
So, beating up 4 low ranked guys you were favored to beat trumps Rigo beating a P4P'er in a fight many felt would be a toss up? Cool
I recall quite a few people here picking Rosado over Golovkin back in January.
Also, the Macklin fight was pretty much 50/50 going in no matter how you try and spin it. Nearly everybody was in agreement that it would be Golovkin's toughest challenge to date...and he steamrolled him.
Ishida I'll give you based on ranking, but that was a "keep busy" fight, and Ishida is another solid fighter.
Many people here are picking Stevens to upset Golovkin, as well.
Guerrero is a top fighter whether you want to accept it or not. Guess you're the green "boxing fan" here because you're not familiar with Guerrero's career apparently. Floyd is a lock because of popularity + 2 good wins, it's not rocket science. I'm also offering a bet that Floyd wins it but you're too pussy to accept it.
Who gives a F about some internet bet? What will that prove? I dont need a fake bet to know what I know.
If Guerrero is so diesel why not just say "Guerrero" instead of "top fighter, proven welter blah blah" if he is so dope his name would be enough--but since he isnt you have to add mustard--just like GB did when they promoted the fight and had Giampa add him to the p4p list. I'm not blind to call Canelo a joke fight, that was a solid win, but Ghost? F that. The top welters are Bradley Floyd and Marquez...maybe Pac. That's it.
A fighter doesnt need to be popular to win FOY. Floyd is unfortunately in the running but he is no way a 'lock' Garcia, Bradley and Adonis all have beefier/equal accomplishments and there is no debate.
