    Everyone will remember Donaire losing his soul.

      By the rightful and true meaning of pfp, I seriously believe that if Rigo was big enough for 168, or 147, he'd do to both Floyd and Ward what he did to Donaire.
      Wow! That's huge props. I can't agree or disagree because those are all my top 3 P4P.

          wrong............

          more like agbeko felt the speed & power & went into full clottey mode (for fear of being caught clean and dropped)

            Obviously fighter of the year. Unless you have someone else who had a more significant win? Remember this isn't a popularity contest this isn't the ESPN awards.

              Dude hasn't had a legit win 3-4 years, but now were making Rigo FOTY because he beat Agbeko, if Rigo is gonna become it's gonna be for 1 reason and 1 reason only, and that's the Donaire win.
              sometimes its not just the W on paper people take into consideration but the way in which he totally dominated and hardly broke a sweat doing so...

              The Donaire win alone is better than any win on Mayweathers resume

              Donaire-Rigo was basically the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight at Batamweight and Rigo dominated the other superstar... the precision and power from both men was something else and i can't see a fight of that magnitude and suspense happening anytime soon

It's a solid win not great but again combine that with Donaire and he's the fighter of the year. I already broke down the other possible candidates (garcia stevenson floyd etc) and none can match Rigo's year.
                It was a case of him being scared and deciding to come for the pay check, thats it. The credit given is for his opponents name being "Agbeko", not for beating a tough opponent. I honestly dont remember a fighter being as terrible and pathetic as Agbeko last night.

                  Either Rigo or Bradley...neither will get it, unfortunately.

                    Ohhhh ok so Ringondeaux's speed, power and masterful defense and counter punching skills played no part in that. Pffft.

                      He has a good case. He is the only one that defeated a consensus p4p top 3-5 boxer.

                      Bradley, too, but he got embarrassed by Ruslan and he certainly didn't dominate JMM. No problem with it, though.

                      Floyd didn't defeat a top p4p talent.

                      Danny Garcia....solid case, but not enough to win.

                      Those claiming GGG are just fanboys. He needs top 10 win in his resume. At this point Stevenson and Kovalev have better wins. Just a basic fact regardless of how much I like GGG or not. Same goes for Mikey.
