    If Stevenson wins, he should be FOTY

    At the very least for the Ring Magazine.

    Hate him or love him, he had a very active year with 3 of his 4 fights being against Ring Top 10 opposition.
    He blasted out the Ring champion, battered Cloud into submission and is now taking on another top 10 opponent in his weight class.
    I won't argue that it's debatable though.
    Dawson was knocked out in his last fight, but at 168
    Cloud was coming off a loss to Hopkins and was never that impressive
    Bellew is coming off those debatable fights against Chilemba

    Still though, he's fighting people who're recognized at the top of his weight class and beating them.

    Would tend to agree, if he beats Bellew he'd have beaten the #1, #4 and #6 in his division as well as avenging a defeat v Boone.

      stevenson has an excellent shot at being FOTY. the problem is HBO behind the scenes will surely push GGG over him.

        As much as I like GGG, he stands no chance compared to Adonis. I think he might at the very least win it with the Ring since he's taking out everyone rated in the top 10.... but I have a feeling everybody will give it to Floyd.

          I don't know how much influence HBO has on The Ring because The Ring is owned by Golden Boy and HBO cut ties with GBP

            I like Rigo for the year if he gets past Agbeko. Not only would that be a solid win, but it'd follow his victory over the reigning boxer of the year. The quality that could be from those two would get my vote

                I'm more impressed with KOvalev's resume to be honest. Campillo, White, Cleverly, Sillakh>>> Boone, Dawson, Cloud, Bellew

                Boone is a solid journeyman but nothing special. Chad is just done and was overrated to begin with. Campillo beat Cloud, who was outclassed by an ancient B Hop. Cleverly beat Bellew. Idk I think What Kovalev has done is more impressive. Yeah you can say Adonis beat the number 1 in the division, but does anyone really know what Dawson has left? The guy just got stopped by Ward...

                  One of the worst posts ever. Clouds win over Mack is better then anything Clevrrly has ever done. Sillikah has been exposed as a nobody. Dawson beat Hopkins, Tarver, Johnson, and Adamek. How the hell can he be overrated idiot.

                    Stevenson will definitely be a strong candidate if he beats Bellew (and he will). But there are a number of other potentially strong candidates for me. Kovalev, Froch, Golovkin, Mayweather, Bradley, Provodnikov, Broner (don't laugh, what if he beats or even stops Maidana?), Danny Garcia, Mikey Garcia, Rigondeaux, Juan Estrada, Yaegashi and Edgar Sosa.
