I got Donaire but I hope it ends up being Garcia.

Agreed.

It isn't just the victories or even the opponents, but the method of victory is critical too.

To start with, Aydin is not exactly a big name, despite their claims to the contrary. He's not beaten anybody of note, and he didn't exactly acquit himself well against Guerrero, hiding behind his guard the majority of the fight.

Berto was coming off a 14 month layoff. Then Guerrero basically wins this fight with illegal tactics, the help of the ref who had no interest in stamping out said tactics, and home town judges just to shore it up. Guerrero looked determined and strong, but little else, as he just put his head down and mauled Berto with it and worked hard without really doing much rounds 4-11. He ate too many uppercuts, and really it was only his conditioning that saw him through.

Adyin didn't acquit himself well,yet Guerrero needed the help of hometown judges? Aydin was a hell of a lot more competitive than Berto was.

Danny Garcia or nonito should win it . I don't get how Guerrero is even in the convo

[johncods]

Should be donaire hands down. In this era how often do u see elite fighters fight 4 times in a year against good fighters? Donaire dethroned two champs and assuming beats arce two former champs.

Nonito yeah, Danny I don't know, I don't think knocking out an old Morales is that great of an achievement. The KO over Khan yes but hardly enough for fighter of the year.

Don't forget about Froch people.

The Ghost has proven a lot of people wrong, and I can appreciate his desire to fight the best. Whether it be stepping to Broner at @ press conference, or calling out "Pretty Boy" Floyd on national tv and twitter, hes walking the walk now. As far as FOTY, then I say yes he deserves it because jumping up two weight classes, and upsetting two of the divisions top 10 maybe even top 5 guys is impressive.

agreed....danny garcia's win against khan was nice...but that's it. he beat an old and completely shot morales twice...big whoop. donaire should get it.

Andre Ward is Fighter Of The Year!!!!!! Berto lost to Collazo and Ortiz.
