Comments Thread For: Mayweather Jr. Snags BWAA's 'Fighter of The Year' Nod

[shade darkar]

a bit surprising that because he only fought guerrero and canelo? i thought bradley had a good shout for it this year for his victories over provodnikov and marquez but it is what it is.

The right person won only Danny or Rigo had a case

I think Bradley had a better year than Danny. Unless of course you thought he lost to Provo.

I don't know about everyone else out there but I am sick of seeing Mayweather get lauded for fighting fighters that have no chance of beatng him. He is very good at choosing lesser opponents while avoiding Manny Pacquiao like the plague. In common opponents such as Miguel Cotto, Mayweather got a UD in 12. Manny TKO'D Cotto in 12. Mayweather TKO'D Hatton in 10. Manny knocked him out in 2. Mayweather got a SD over De La Jolla in 12. Manny made him quit on his stool in 8. Floyd has come up with multiple phony reasons why he won't fight Manny but the real reason is that he doesn't want to take a chance of being beaten. It's time for the fans to speak. If we want to see Floyd fight a worthy opponent, we must quit buying PPV to watch Floyd knock over these tin cans (actually, he can't knock them down, he just out runs them) IF THE FANS BOYCOTT THESE PHONY DEFENSES AGAINST LESSER FIGHTERS, MAYBE HBO WILL GET THE POINT AND PUT ON A FIGHT WITH FLOYD AND A WORTHY OPPONENT, NAMELY PACQUIAO.. SPREAD THE WORD.
