Fighter of the year..

I figured Floyd until Fury beat Wlad.

Floyd Mayweather or Andre Ward, its a toss up. :lol1:

Terry Flanagan

Would have been Floyd if it wasn't for the shoulder injury and the IV scandal. So with that into consideration, 100% Fury

We knew that before the first bell as well? :lol1: I can tell you that Fury's win is as historical as they come. It's one of the absolute best wins anyone has had since Duran beat Ray Leonard. Much better than beating Manny Pacquiao. If Klitschko had just been knocked out by Povetkin 3 fights ago and Fury beat him - Then no. But this was one of the most dominant heavyweight champions of all time. I mean, it's not even close. Mayweather deserves fighter of the decade though. http://replygif.net/i/1196.gif

Tyson Fury is my pick

Freedom is supposed to make this type of thread.

Tyson Fyooreh by a country mile. He did what no one (except a very small handful) expected him to do over one of the most dominant champions in the division's history, and made it look easy. I don't think people are fully grasping the true momentousness of that feat. Canelo and Golovkin? Please. Fury 4 da WIN.

Yes, we did. :lol1: It really comes down to personal preference.

Should be Fury. Fighter of the year who made upset of the year.

Right after the final bell rang, we knew the winner of May-Pac would be the best of this era, can you tell me Fury's place in history just right now? How do we know he isn't a one hit wonder? Manny got sparked by an ATG, whom he holds a win or two over, no shame, however Wlad having trouble with a guy who started boxing at 24, worked his way to a shot in 6 yrs is something to think about.

"I give Fury credit, but" Laughable. He might have won an ugly fight, but everyone expected him to get splattered. Clear choice for fighter of the year.

Post and discuss Floyd Mayweather!

People I see are quick to over hype quite a ugly win against an obviously aged fighter. Fury did win but did so in quite an ugly and unempressive performance. Personally I find it funny how people want to claim distaste for Mayweather and are in bad taste sucking off Fury who won in an even more pitiful performance. Yes, I give it to Fury the fact he beat a long standing champ, but this is a champ many critized for a lack of opposition in what has obviously become a division of Super Heavyweights while Wlad was fighting glorified cruiserweights. Personally it's a toss up between two very lack luster performances that unfortanitly when bringing up FOTY its not gonna be a fighter who is brought anything of note or great interest from casual fans. Most fans wanted an intermission because of coming close to falling asleep! Since when did entertainment become a criteria for fighter of the year? Mayweather and Fury both clearly beat two hall of famers and current top 5 P4P fighters, who cares in what fashion they won in as long as they got a clear victory.

Mayweather, the winner of that fight was supposed to decide the best fighter of this generation. Yeah maybe 5 years ago.

Yeah between them. But what's a better win? Manny Pacquiao who'd been outboxed by a guy Mayweather beat with ease, and knocked out 3 fights ago or Wladimir Klitschko? Right after the final bell rang, we knew the winner of May-Pac would be the best of this era, can you tell me Fury's place in history just right now? How do we know he isn't a one hit wonder? Manny got sparked by an ATG, whom he holds a win or two over, no shame, however Wlad having trouble with a guy who started boxing at 24, worked his way to a shot in 6 yrs is something to think about.

I'm comfortable with cutting it short and giving it to Mayweather. Let's face it, we had P4P best guys of this last era in the same ring fighting each other. One of the highest quality matchups we'll ever get. Whatever people have to say about the fight, I know that when I was watching Mayweather-Pacquiao I had tons of nervous energy the moment the bell rang.

BHop...he didn't box one round this year and I didn't have to deal with the nerves I get right before his fights....round 12 against Krusher was the worst feeling I've EVER had watching a fight....so he's my PERSONAL fighter of the year for PERSONAL reasons :boxing: That said, I would go with Floyd or Fury...can't go wrong with either fighter imo

I said if Fury pulls off the upset and becomes THE heavyweight champion, then he has to be FOTY. Nothing in boxing, no p4p nonsense, no welterweight, middleweight, no featherweight compares to beings THE guy in the premier division. The performance was not a classic but it doesn't matter. Fury has given us one of the biggest upsets in years and done it for a true championship and not some worthless trinket. 1) I dispute the claim that HW is currently the premier division. 2) Yeah Wlad reigned for 10 years, but over what? Who did he beat? Besides, his brother could have dethroned him any time he decided to, so Wlad was allowed to reign. 3) Fury won on how many punches? 86? That's 7 punches landed per round. I dunno'. I have a hard time with Fury as fighter of the year based on the Wlad upset.
