This just highlights how high everyone is on MP right now. There is no way any objective fan can say he deserved this over Sergio Martinez.
Let's see:
Martinez: Dominated Pavlik to capture th MW title and crushed PWilliams (P4P # 3 on most peoples lists--->not mine) defending it with a KO of the year thrown in.
MP: Clottey and Antonio Margarito at a CW after a layoff.
Objectivbely speaking MP does not deserve the award, and the fact that ring awarded it to him citing this reasoning:
“We’re in the era of Manny Pacquiao, though. The world’s greatest fighter is so popular – particularly among his passionate countrymen – that we knew with certainty that he would be the runaway winner of the award. Facts be damned.”
...........is utterly ****ing disgusting. "Facts be damned" ----> they are basically saying Sergio had the better year, but popularity dictates they give it to MP.
Rosenthal and the rest need to shoot themselves.
