Adonis Stevenson could win FOY

Oh snap, i didn't notice that the Bellew fight was made. I think I would pick Adonis to be FOY if he beats Bellew in exciting fashion.

EDIT: Adonis and Kovalev on the same card is a dream come true. I just wish that Kovalev was fighting Fonfara instead of Sillakh.

He's in the running, but no way he's getting it over Floyd, and IMO Bradley and Rigo also deserve it over Stevenson.

He deserves it but don't count Bellew out.

FOY has been a popularity contest at times and not so in others. I dont think Floyd is a lock at all with the Ghost fight being what it was.

Bradley is a deserving candidate but only 2 fights. Rigo only 2 fights and Agbeko wont be enough.

The quality of Bradley and Rigo's wins are enough to close the gap. Stevenson has had a great, unexpected year, but IMO Dawson, Cloud, and Bellew don't beat Donaire and Agbeko, or Marquez and Ruslan.

People are really underrating Rigo's win over Donaire IMO. That was a thorough outclassing against a top 5 prime p4p fighter. Terrific win. Any halfway decent win combined with that should get Rigo FOTY.

When was the last time a jr featherweight won FOY? Exactly

I think the JMM win helps make up for the Ruslan fight so I can see Bradley winning it. Adonis is a very live dog with 4 fights (assuming he wins) Floyd would be a farce.

If stevenson is a candidate for FOY then surely triple G should be too, no?

dont count him out.

I have him #2 behind Danny Garcia so he definitely could win it.

Donaire won FOY last year actually, but I get your point. It would really help his case if Rigo puts an ass whupping on Agbeko.

Adonis Stevenson could win FOY
