Yeah you have to feel for Murray. He did it in his opponent's backyard and dropped him twice. Out of interest who was rated higher, Donaire or Martinez?Hm... That's really tough and this is a good question. Based on the official decisions, I'm not sure I can choose one. for me it's hard to choose the overall "best" because they're all in different weight classes so personally I can't say who's better then who but from official W's I would have:
Rigo over Donaire (donaire was P4P fighter)
Gonzalez over Mares (mares undefeated champ)
Kovalev over Campillo (campillo arguably unified champion, got obliterated)
Bradley over JMM (p4p win)
Wlod over Chakhkiev
Adonis over Dawson
But my absolute top 2, besides Rigo, if the judges weren't incompetent in Argentina this day and if the referee wasn't incompetent and called the 2-3 missed KD's would be:
Murray over Martinez
Prov over Bradley
Obviously they didn't get official wins so I didn't include them.Comment

Jhonny Gonzalez. KO of the year, fighter of the year.
Virtually nobody, but himself and his team expected him to win, and he won in the biggest way possible.Comment

I think this has been Stevenson's year. He came from a position where people thought he was not even a serious contender (at 168) and now he's beaten Dawson and Cloud, and in such impressive style.
Best performance of the year, Rigo's schooling of Nonito. Just a beautiful, pure boxing masterclass. Close second, Floyd's schooling of Canelo. I put it second because Floyd was a huge favourite but no-one expected just how easy he would make it look.Comment

Really tough to say, Donaire was on like a 20 something fight win streak but I think in their last 5-6 fights (before Rigo and Murray) Sergio faced the tougher compeition, relative to their division (IMO) People say Martinez cherrypicked the likes of Barker, Macklin and avoided Pirog, etc... but they were/are top 10 MW's. People were also talking about Martinez facing Floyd, etc..
If I had to absolutely choose, I'd say I would of rated Martinez higher. tough call, though
IF Murray got the W, to answer your OP, I would say Murray first and Rigo second. If Prov got the KD's, those would be my absolute top 3, without a doubt.Comment
