Who is the "NOT" Fighter of the Year?

[-PBP-]

The Candidates:

Mickey Bey:


Got caught with a 30:1 Testosterone Ratio and then got KTFO with all of TMT sitting ringside.

Nonito Donaire:

Talked all last year about how Rigo wasn't "worthy to fight him" then gets schooled in an uneventful 1 sided fight. Then goes on after the fight making a bunch of lame excuses. Now is fighting on an undercard against Darchinyan, who he already KO'd at 126.

Chad Dawson

Went from lineal champ at 175 to getting slept in the first round


David Price

KO'd twice by a 41 year old man within a few months apart

Gary Russell Jr.

Turned down a fight with Ponce De Leon and instead continued his streak of fighting TBA's.

[Jloro]

Donaire and his "highly anticipated rematch" lmao

[WilkinsOlajuwon]

Please add fake JCC

[Hougigo]

IMO, GR JR wins on wasted potential and not fighting anybody other than TBA

[The Big Dunn]

Gar russell jr is simply a waste. he fights no one and takes months to decide to fight no one. why anyone would take him seriously going forward is beyond me.

[-PBP-]

Please add fake JCC

Can't believe I forgot him.

[King_]

Toss up between any of these, aside from Donaire.


No shame in losing to Rigo.


Probably not Dawson, IMO, I wasn't as surprised that he got iced. I think the Ward fight killed him. David Price... meh, Thompson might be 41 but he's a top 5-10 HW, IMO. (unaware on Bey and the testosterone thing?)

I'm going to have to go with GRJ based on wasted potential and fighting Macy's stockroom associates.

I'm so tempted to say Donaire. Losing to Rigondeaux is one thing, you know, so what? Rigondeaux's a hell of a fighter. But to have your only other fight in the year be a pointless rematch with Vic Darchinyan? That's messed up.

[SnakeVen0m]

Gary Russell JR simply because everyone else on that list fought someone with a pulse.

To be fair (obviously he's older now and would of made more sense a long time ago) Vic had a close fight with Mares since losing to Donaire and outclassed that Puerto Rican prospect in his last fight.

He's coming off a loss, personally I don't think this is a bad "tune up" fight.


With that said I called the upset and I think Vic will beat Donaire this time around. Book it. I'll take a bet if anyone's interested.
