Fighter of the year? (aside from Floyd)

Floyd Canelo

Fury GGG Canelo

Simply look at who fighters actually fought in calendar 2015. Looking at fighters' 2015 (actually went to BoxRec, sorted by p4p ranking, and started working down the fight ledgers), there were a lot of dud fight/good fight or good fight/dud fight schedules; even with Tyson Fury, his only other fight this year was against a 17-3 Christian Hammer. If you exclude Floyd from consideration, you're basically looking at "One Time" Keith Thurman, Danny "Swift" Garcia, possibly Roman Gonzalez (depending on how much you weigh the 38-29-3 guy that he fought in Nicaragua to open the year), and possibly Deontay Wilder (decisioned a top 5 heavyweight to open the year, stopped a fringe top-30 heavyweight, and stopped a fringe top-20 heavyweight).

Who is the fighter of the year this year? I want to put Tyson Fury in the discussion because technically he DID "beat" the HW king Wlad but I think that Wlad beat himself, so I don't hold his "win" in high regard. I'd say GGG fought the largest amount of high-level competition, he fought two guys in the top 10 and destroyed them with ease, anybody else I can think of has fought only top 10 guy and won, if that. Gennady Golovkin, in 2015, fought Willie Monroe Jr, "noted winner" of the ESPN2 middleweight title. moving on.

Thurman... DUH!

Badou Jack or Tyson Fury

I hate reading this opinion from that fight. He didn't do anything because Fury wouldn't let him!! I feel like people who say this didn't watch the fight, or don't know what they saw. This isn't like Clottey/Pac where Clottey was content with not letting his hands go, Fury controlled the fight with feints and movement, and a great jab. Wlad did try to go to work, but he was flat out not allowed to, he would be forced to constantly reset and miss his setup shots. It was a masterclass. Anyone saying otherwise needs to be http://i.imgur.com/kRuhpQP.gif
