Who is the Fighter of the Year so far in 2009?

[The Hammer]

There's less than 2.5 months to go in the year.

Who would you choose as Fighter of the Year so far in 2009?

It seems a trickier question than usual.

What about Vitali Klitschko? Jean Pascal? Brian Viloria?

to be honest..id have to say vitali if he wins in december..no other champion has fought 3 times this year and if he wins by ko in dec he'll be 3-0-3kos all three being title fights

[ИATAS]

doesn't matter who it is now, after Pacquiao beats Cotto he'll surely get FOTY again.

[rochemback]

The winner of Pacquiao-Cotto will have a strong case with the win over Hatton respectively Clottey...

[The Dice]

Manny Pacman IMO

The way he KO'd Hatton was amazing

[Pugilistic™]

If Pacquiao beats Cotto, he will likely win it this year.

If i was to pick someone else, I would pick Vitali if he wins in December.

[The Gambler1981]

Depends on how Manny-Cotto plays out, but if Manny wins in impressive fashion it would most likely be him.

[street bully]

If Pacquaio beats Cotto he is fighter of the year.

If Pacquiao wins, I agree. Especially if he wins impressively, as he did against Hatton.

But Cotto is fighting someone moving up from a smaller weight division, and although he narrowly won against Clottey, he was not impressive in that fight.

Vitali's 2 wins over Arreola and Gomez aren't Fighter of the year caliber. I would be more likely to give the nod to Adamek than Vitali. 3 wins, 2 KOs, and he won the Ring Magazine title.
