He was the underdog in both fights and surprised many by coming out victorious whilst seeming to have improved.
I'm guessing you voted for the guy who KO'd no hopers who were 30/1 outsiders.
So since your the underdog and win that merits being FOTY. It has nothing to do with who you fought or how you beat them. Jack was the underdog not because he was fighting the best but because he was KTFO by a journeyman. Come back of the year is a better and more fighting award but he's not even close to fighter of the year.
And odds have zero to do with FOTY award. He beat two top ten guys more throughly than Jack did and you can pretend that Groves and Dirrel are much better than Lemule, Murray, and Monroe but it'll just prove what we all already know about you.
And Murray is the most proven out of the 5 so GGG should more credit for knocking him out than Jack gets for razor thin decisions.
But I'm sure you'll pull some **** out you ass on why a SD win over Groves is better than a TKO over Lemiuex. But don't forget who was the former champion and who wasn't.
How the fuq did Badou Jack make the list. Since when has struggling past B- opponents made you FOTY worthy. Some of you guys on this site i swear.

So far it's Jack but I'm sure they will give it to the more popular guys like they did last year with Crawford.
You saying crawford didnt deserve it last year?
Not impressed with anyone on the list. Jack has best 'names' (comparatively), but they were not impressive SD/MD wins. I'd give it to a breakout fighter like Postol.
I can't vote yet, I will vote only when Wladimir Klitschko has fought, IF Wlad beats Fury and Jennings same year that merits him the FOTY If he doesn't beat Fury I'd give the award to GGG, there has been a good selection of fights on this year but I can't think of many fighters more thoroughly impressing than either of the two I mentioned.
The Canelo/Cotto winner
Fraud's wins are a joke and he and the word FIGHTER should never be used in the same sentence.
Two guys who lost to Mayweather several years ago and one of them lost badly to a guy Floyd conquered just a few months ago but they should be fighter of the year and not Floyd?

Miguel Cotto
1. Daniel Geale TKO4
2. Canelo Alvarez (Assuming a Win)
... :) ... I'll wait until Nov 21 in order to vote here... :)
... In case Cotto wins convincingly (by KO or by a non-controversial decision), then Cotto gets my vote for "the FOTY"... :)
Jack has the best wins on that list. Naturally people are gonna try and somehow put Floyd in there. But they will develop amnesia concerning him. The Pacman fight was a half a decade too late to be worth the hype.
