    Perez is lightyears better than Mundine, Agbeko has the much better win over an elite opponent. I guess your choosing it for the shock factor?

      Darchinyan has held multiple belts, and has been world champion in different weight divisions.

      Mundine is a former world champion, and has been in the Ring top ten in different weight divisions for about 7 years. Wood came out of nowhere, he was 9-1-1 before the fight.

        Normally It would be Khan, he showed toughness we didn't know he had. Any other month but Hopkins SHOULD have made history against Pascal if it weren't for the judges.

          Yes, it was certainly the upset of the month, and Mundine hadn't been stopped since his Ottke fight. People were ridiculing Mundine for fighting a clubfighter like Wood.

            I vote Carl Froch again. My head is still spinning from the performance in Finland.

            Watching Hopkins hit the canvas last night made Froch's stock rise even higher.

              Mundine is ****, Kessler outclassed him, I don't count the Ottke loss against him since he was young but I count the fact he was KNOCKED OUT buy Ottke against him, Mundine hasn't fought a live body since he beat Sam Soliman for the 17th time in 2008.

                I didn't include Jean Pascal because he wasn't impressive against a 45 year old in the last 7 rounds of the fight last night.

                It did look like he would KO Hopkins after the second knockdown. If he had continued to fight that well, he would have certainly won the fight and not only been a candidate for fighter of the month, but also for fighter of the year.

                  Instinctively voted Hopkins, but it was really Agbeko tbh.

                    Actually Id go with Marco Huck...

                    yes I thought he lost VS Lebedev. But I thought it was a very close fight. And its important to respect official decisions even if you dont agree with them.

                    To be honest I was expecting Lebedev to KO Huck.

                    I am very impressed with Huck and his ability to withstand Lebedev. I think he's shown a lot of improvement from the Cunningham loss.

                    I say Huck...

                    Im sure many will disagree tho!
