      Not sure how the BWAA will view it tho

        I totally agree. They cannot have Khan-Peterson as the uspet of the year cuz Amir didn't lose and you all know it. So breakthrough performance is a good award for Lamont.

            I guess the fashion in which he lost made it a huge upset. But someone like Amir Khan or Juanma Lopez who were legit like P4P top 10(arguably) guys at the time they lost is more significant to me.
            True, but Khan and Juanma lost to guys who were top 10 at their weight, Ishida was a NOBODY. Plus, you gotta be honest with yourself, Ishida knocking Kirkland out was the single most shocking moment of the year...

              Great list, but I thought Broner vs Litzau was a better KO.

                Breakthrough Performance should be Moreno over Darchinyan

                    Right, that's why I said the fashion in which he lost(getting KO'd in the 1st by a feather fisted journeyman) is why it was so shocking, not that he lost. Lopez and Khan just them losing, in any fashion, were big upsets.

                    But I can definitely see Kirkland....was just playing devils advocate really.
