Who should be Fighter of the Year?

[soul_survivor]

By the end of 2014, who will have earned the right to be named Fighter of the Year? Will it be Roman Gonzalez, with a win in his third weight class, or Terence Crawford, who burst onto the scene with wins over Burns, Gamboa, and Beltran?

Crawford hasn't beaten beltran yet...but if he does he is a candidate.

Gonzalez needs another top level opponent at the end of the year for the win.

Other than that, this hasn't exactly been as competitive a year as say 2013 or 2012.

Personally, I think if HOpkins beats Kovalev, he is without a DOUBT the FOTY

If Crawford were fighting Mikey Garcia, and beat him, he'd be a lock for FOTY.

Crawford if he beats Beltran.

What were those advantages?

True.

He had a huge size advantage that IMO won him the fight, but Gamboa chose to move up and fight at that weight so it wasn't an unfair advantage. I thought Gamboa was outboxing him with relative ease though, size negated it and its a still good win.

There are no stand out candidates for me. If B-Hop wins against Kovalev then he should be a lock.

B-Hop, Kovalev, Roman, or Maidana.

Maidana

Only fighter to ever win FOTY without winnin any fights in that year.

[IronDanHamza]

Canelo would have won it if he beat Kirkland in December.

[Luilun]

Floyd Money

Catch weight vs Canelo Cry Baby to gloves vs Madaina with a gift win in the first fight than the break up of his Buck Leonard nah don't think so

[Black Barty]

Maidana

Only fighter to ever win FOTY without winnin any fights in that year.

And they say Khan fans are delusional...

[Divine Hammer]

Kovalev if he stops Hopkins

Hopkins if he beats kovalev

If kovalev out points Hopkins:

Pacquaio if he stops algeiri

If not, roman Gonzalez if he beats estrada

true, pac should be a candidate too. if he beats algieri then he will have beaten two undefeated champions in their prime.

bradley - #3 p4p, #2 welterweight, WBO champion, prime, coming off big win against marquez, undefeated (officially)

algieri - #3 jr. welterweight, WBO champion, coming off big win against provodnikov siberian rocky, undefeated, prime
