I always felt he was the 2012 FOTY by default, because he was the busiest top guy. It was a case of quantity over quality. Vasquez, Mathebula, old Arce, and old Nishioka don't exactly scream out amazing year. It's pretty much what GGG does every year yet people call him overrated. Marquez' historic KO of Pacquiao craps all over those wins by a mile.
Jmm deserved ko the the year but definitely not fighter of the year....jmm looked very beatable up until the ko , in which was the cause of pac making a huge mistake rather than jmm .setting it up.....
Why would "Rigo worshipers" say no? Wouldn't if better for Rigo to have a HOF fighter on his resume?
Because the Rigo accountants want Donaire to give Rigo a rematch, they claim Donaire isn't truly HOF until he beats Rigo.
hes definitely a borderliner. 5 time division champ, fought great competition , but was also inactive for large parts of his career, and the year he won foty his competition was suspect.
Never the less I hope Donaire doesn't decide to call it quits. He's still one of my favorite guys to watch. He can go back down to 122 fight fight Frampton, LSC maybe Mares
You need HOF dance partners to be considered a HOF'er.........He had a dominate stretch vs bum after bum, who he outweighed by 10-15 pounds, not that impressive, and it's not like he was razzle and dazzling, he just was as boring as Rigo also, in snore fest after snore fest only to be bailed out by his left hook...........

I agree with you but the fact is he won it... That will always been on his resume, and even if he didn't win FOTY his reign from 07-12 thru all the different divisions make him a HOFer
