Is JMM now a Fighter of the year candidate?

[Mozza]

Margarito will get it unless Pacquiao beats De La Hoya.

[DiegoFuego]

I'm pretty sure you can't win FOTY of you've lost a fight in that year lol

[warp1432]

No he's not.

It'll probably these top 3 canadiates at the end of the year:
-Cristian Mijares (First man to unify 3 titles at the lower weight classes, jumps from 31 to 8 on the p4p, becomes #1 superfly, beats Navarro, Munoz, and Darchinyan)
-Antonio Margarito (Beats Cintron and Cotto. Jumps from 20 to like 6 on the p4p list)
-Manny Pacquiao ("beats" JMM and demloishes David Diaz. Loses to De La Hoya)

[totalstranga]

sure he is a candidate, but with all the other big names I've seen thrown around in this thread alone, I doubt he'll get it. And it seems like he just isn't popular with the casual boxing fan for some reason. There is always a Morales, Pacquio, Hamed, MAB etc, who get all the love. I think it'll be between Marg and Pac myself but we'll see

[Jupiter Maximus]

If Pac beats ODLH thenhe gets it.

If Pac loses and Pavlik KOs or TKOs hpkins he gets it for sure.



JMM, while the KO is impressive..at the end of the day it was just Joel Casamoyar not that big in the grand scheme of things...plus he's has clearly lost twice to Pac now. I mean How many KDs does manny have to give that ****** to prove he wins?

[The Hammer]

If JM Marquez lands a fight with Campbell or Diaz for December and wins, he'd have a real chance.

[The Hammer]

I'm pretty sure you can't win FOTY of you've lost a fight in that year lol

But many people think he actually won that fight.

[BlackHat]

But many people think he actually won that fight.

Many people Thinks Pac wins too. Personally I think it could have gone either way, What if JMM won in that match, would people think its a robbery too? or it could have gone either way too.

[MANGLER]

JMM won't get the cred he deserves for the KO over Casa just cuz Casa was old and expected to lose by most. And he lost the Pac rematch, so the odds of him bein in the FOTY runnin are slim imo. Pac won 2 titles and won't be discredited if he loses to DLH. Marg has 2 KO victories in title fights. I think it'll be between those 2.

[egreezy]

pacquiao (if he beats oscar), margarito, pavlik, calzaghe all are in better positions to win foty.....

i dunno if they all are in position. margarito only had 2 fights..already had beat cintron, hes bigger then cotto and was outboxed for part of fight. calzaghe only had 2 fights, hopkins and jones= 82 years experience. pacman will have fought 3 times which is goood but i think he will have only 1 win from them all. pavlik is on his way to 3 wins. if marquez gets another fight before years over he would get it. id put in this order marquez, pavlik, margarito, pacquia, calzaghe
