beating 43 yr old hop in a sd. and 39 shot jones earns fighter of the year? no.

[mspiegelo]

What you all think?

He beat two American legends back to back on the biggest of American stages; Thomas & Mack Center, Las Vegas, NV & Madison Sqaure Garden, NY, NY.

Bernard Hopkins

Roy Jones Jr.

He came back dramatically from two 1st round knock downs to win both fights.

He maintained his undefeated record.

I'm sold on Joe. He's the man.

most definitely

[Mrvooh]

A gift decision against Bernard Hopkins and a completely one sided beatdown of a 5 years past prime Jones hardly makes for a Fighter of the Year candidate.

Antonio Margarito, Juan Manuel Marquez, Israel Vazquez, and Manny Pacquiao (assuming he beats Oscar) are much more worthy of the nod.

I watched the fight 3 times, Joe CLEARLY won...2 of 3 judges, and all announcers had Joe winning One ****** Judge, and the haters saw it differently

[El Chicano]

Ofcourse he'll win it unless Pacman beats Oscar.

He MOVED UP in weight to fight both Hopkins and Jones in their backyard and won.

In back to back fights. We all seen what B-Hop can still do. And with last night's result, I think it was more of Calzaghe being that good more so than Jones being that shot.

WHAT PLANET YOU LIVING ON? jones has been shot for 5 years now and he got knocked out cold. glen johnson looked like the greatest of all time wooping his ass. how does calzaghe who almost got knocked out get any credit?

No, Hopkins will get fighter of the year for beating Pavlik in dramatic fashion. He was a huge underdog who was actually taking a risk in that fight.

[MANGLER]

It's possible but the closeness of the Hopkins win and the fact that Roy was older won't allow him to win the honors imo.

[fightnews55]

Calzaghe would get fighter of the year if this was 1998 instead of 2008 but hey! Why pay attention to detail?

Nah, he fought a bum in his last fight.
