Comments Thread For: “Fighting Words” — Pondering 2013’s Fighter of the Year

Mayweather deserves it so far

Bradley second. Going to war with Ruslan in a FOTY candidate(considering Ruslan's next fight) and a clear win against Marquez are two remarkable wins against great opposition in a row.

Golovkin third, depending on how he fairs in his next outing.. His opponents weren't necessarily world beaters, but they were all known to give opposition all they can handle. But Golovkin comes in and flattens them all in spectacular fashion. None of them have lost like they have against Gennady.

[huh?]

I like Bradley this year. He powered through the Pacquiao debacle, then gutted out a tough one against Prov. The Marquez decision was, imo, decisive. He's not a knockout artist or a master boxer per se, but a hard-boiled character brimming with confidence. In terms of a fighter's stock going up it was a huge year for Bradley

[Citizen Koba]

Stevenson or Kovalev in terms of both activity (will be 4 fights each) and achievement (both won titles have had a coupla top 10 fights and have so far 6 KOs between them) assuming both win (especially by KO) on the 30th.

4 fights and 4 KOs each, in the process tearing through virtually the entire top 10 at LHW (excepting Hopkins) eclipses anything anyone else has achieved.

How does everyone forget Johnny Gonzales? that's a real tragedy when he's getting not just overlooked, but completely forgotten. 3 fights, 3 wins, 2 by ko, 1 against a top ten, pound for pound undefeated champion in his hometown, in one single round. And you guys call yourself boxing fans?
