Fighter of the year

Who should be named fighter of the year by Ring magazine

[grayfist]

Pavlik. I think he caught the biggest fish.

[Naps]

I think wait until December the 9th before answering that question, the winner of that fight should get it.

I think you're right. Hatton shall net a bigger (or, the biggest?) one, if he wins resoundingly. Pavlik's win over Taylor shall pale.

As for Mayweather, he'll be able to tuck Hatton's undefeated resume' under his belt...er, belts.

[memento]

I would definitely put Calzaghe ahead of Pavlik. I think Kessler is superior to both Taylor and Pavlik. Joe is very overrated in my (unbiased) opinion, possibly as he is not American.

Love or loathe Mayweather, I think he will get it if he wins on Saturday.

[robjr]

pavlik i think..

[mrrbyrne]

Yeah Calzaghe gets it for me. Stripping the unbeaten in prime Kessler of his two belts at 35 is a great achievment.

[warp1432]

Pavlik, coming at the start of the year as just a somewhat known prospect to end the year with becoming middleweight champion of the world.

Cotto comes in second with a great resume, but not enough to win the award.

[Haterfree]

If Floyd beats Hatton like he did Diego or Gatti & becomes the 1st boxer to do back to back PPVs with over a million ordered. Hes got to be fighter of the year.

[S1MANC]

I think whoever wins on Saturday will be crowned Fighter of the year, not that they are or are not, just because of the magnitude of the fight.

But Calzaghe should definitely be competition, i can't see Pavlik getting it.
