Canelo is the front runner for the boxer of the year

[bojangles1987]

Mosley, Williams, and Cotto? LOL.

[KnockUTheFukOut]

UH...NO!

It is going to take a lot more then a win over Mosley to even be in the RUNNING for Boxer Of The Year

[Check]

Way too early. It's only May and we know boxing in the first few months usually is pretty weak. Things will start to heat up very soon.

and yes, if Dawson beats Ward he will win it hands down. That would be 2 wins against top 10 p4p talent.

[Bull24]

This is a joke right?

[boliodogs]

this guy been hated on by boxing fans for the longest for "getting a gift belt" but if they go ahead and stick with the Plan Mosley in May, Paul Williams in September and Miguel Cotto in December at MSG who could Top that this year?

only Chad Dawson could make a case if he fights Ward

I believe if Canelo gets those fights he will win those fights. I always bet on Canelo from the time I first saw him against Cotto's brother and I always make money. I will bet on him whoever he fights. He KOed Rhodes who was ranked #4 in the world at 154 by Ring. So people should stop saying he never beat a top contender unless they think the Ring rating is wrong.

TS is frontrunner for most delusional poster of the year

[BoxingGenius27]

Honestly, Williams has lost 2 of his last 3 fights. Beating Paul at this point is nothing special.

If he wants FOTY, he needs to earn it like everyone else does.

Starting with Shane Mosley isn't helping his claim one bit.

If he goes on to beat Kirkland and Martinez, then we're talking.

[Hougigo]

Martinez can win it by fighting JCC Jr. and same for JCC Jr.
If Canelo fights the last two... IFFFFFFFF, then maybe

[HardAss]

I am sorry but no, this isn't a popularity contest guys like Dawson and salido have a bigger case to be fighter of the year.

[garfios]

he's the front runner for fighter of the year for winning 2 fights that havent even happened yet? Not to mention one was against a guy who hasnt come close to winning a fight in years. I like Canelo and think he has great potential but you cant give him awards & wins for fights that havent even been signed yet

They gave him a Belt for fighting a mediocre WW, I'll not be surprised if Sualiman and TV some how find a way to give him the award...
