2009 Fighter of the Year predictions...

[Pullcounter]

... or feel free to name any fighter who you think will have a breakout year in 2009 and why.

david haye if he can beat vitaly and wlad in one year.

Gamboa, Juanma, Manny, Margarito, Williams, Dawson, and Haye will be either the most talked or the most dominant fighters in their respective weightclass. If Haye beats the Klitckos hes going to be fighter of the year.

That is if Mayweather doesnt come back to beat Manny and Marg!

I would like to point out two predictions I have: Juanma and Haye will be KOed and/or beaten up pretty badly next year, and most of their hype is going to go out the window. The same may be true for Gamboa, although I hope not.
Also I see Margarito losing next year if he fights three times, the guy is unadaptable and pretty shopworn. If he gets by Mosley and the Cotto rematch, thats going to be his time in the sun.
Also I would LOVE to see Mayweather come back next year and retake his place as the top fighter in the sport. Pacman vs Mayweather is really a must.
