The Ring is pleased to announce that world welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather has been selected as Fighter of the Year for 2007. Mayweather fought twice in ’07, winning a 12-round decision over Oscar De La Hoya on May 5 in Las Vegas to capture the WBC super welterweight title, and knocking out Ricky Hatton in the 10th round on December 8 in defense of the world welterweight championship.

It is the second time Mayweather has won the honor, having also been The Ring’s 1998 Fighter of the Year. The award dates back to 1928, when heavyweight champion Gene Tunney was the first recipient.

I already saw this coming. Mayweather is the undisputed king of 2007, he owned this year...period. Yea, Pavlik had a good year, but not at the expense of Floyd's. People are gonna learn to quit betting against this guy, he's simply the truth.

I agree with all of their other picks as well, especially fight and KO of the year.
