2012 is wrapping up and most of the fights for the rest of the year are close to being set. Picking fighter of the year will be tough because I can't really think of anyone that will have more than 1 great win.
Lopez could have won if he beat both Ortiz and Canelo, but he didn't. Garcia could have won if he beat Khan and someone else decent, but he's fighting Morales again. Andre Ward will have only fought once this year and I don't think Dawson at 168 alone cuts it.
As much as it pains me to say it, I think Pacquiao might once again deserve the honors if he actually beats Marquez this time. Although he got jobbed against Bradley, it should still count. And with a Marquez win, that's two guys that were considered p4p he beat.
If Marquez beats Pacquiao, that would do it for me even though he didn't beat anyone else of note this year. A Pacquiao win is still huge.
