Bradley had a better year. Beat a top 5 P4P guy off his KO of Pac and also beat Ruslan, who is is 10X better then boone, cloud and bellew combined, even if it was razor close

[HeroBando]

Who the hell did Kovalev beat thats better then Dawson or even Cloud for that matter? Cloud would spark out The black russian and Cleverly too

Campillo outclassed Cloud

[Rocky Rene]

I thought Thurman had a pretty good year and should have at least been mentioned.

[matrixskillz]

Well deserved. Adonis is a beast.

[Pound4PoundStud]

I kinda agree with this pick but I also think Kovalev beat the same level of competition and did it in better fashion

Except Kovalev has yet to beat anyone with a "name". Chad Dawson was considered the king of the 175lb division and Adonis knocked him out in one round! I give the edge to Adonis.

Well im surprised i thought if left to you guys to pick it would be Floyd in 1st Donaire in 2nd but I guess that would be too blatant at this point. Although the bias can be detected on this list as well.

Dawson fu*ken sucks and was just coming off a KO

Campillo is better than Cloud

Cleverly was undefeated and Kovalev went to his hometown and destroyed him

Stevenson is a rapist

To be fair, he's a guy that had a rough childhood, got involved in some combination of pimping, assault, sexual assault, and sexual exploitation that may or may not have directly involved rape by himself in his teens / early 20s. It also sounds like his 20s were pretty dodgy as well. Does he get a pass on that? No. But he is 36 now, and hasn't had any recent 'troubles'. Assuming he doesn't have a rash of recent revelations, or get involved in some new mess, at this point he probably deserves credit for turning his life around. TBH, I picked Provo as my fighter of the year because he didn't have that dicey past, and gave me the warm fuzzies, but a lot of this stuff is from almost half a lifetime ago. At a certain point you just have to congratulate a guy on turning it around, otherwise what's the point? Once you brand somebody a 'scumbag for life' they have 0 incentive to not be a scumbag.

[Toby 1991]

I would go with Stevenson, too.

[FeFist]

I hate to see this raping piece of **** receive praise for his performances; what's worse is that is that it is questionable whether he had a better year than other fighters, which means he was given somewhat of a favour.
