    Last month he was not even mentioned as a candidate, this month, dudes are changing their picks to him. How you go from a non-candidate for 11 months, to front runner in the last month? Not even against a HOF'er or great fighter, just a good fighter with a long reign who he was 12-1 favorite to beat.

      There were people asking that he be considered if he beat Narvaez at the BWAA meetings weeks ago. One of the reasons we held off here at Scene to run Fighter yet was to get all the results in. Whether today was enough readers will find out tonight. He wasn't a non-candidate. He was a 'year ain't done' dude.

      I don't have any issue with anyone who sees Crawford as the guy or someone like Ruenroeng. There are others with single impressive wins as well. The way Inoue won, and the spread of classes, from pro fight six to eight, is impressive.

        It's a timing product based on when nominations are tallied and when meetings are. Ballot has been adjusted before after initial noms. I emailed this morning and asked he be added and got seconded by several prominent writers. The BWAA thing isn't over yet neccesarily.
        That's good to hear, I figured their nominations were final when they announced them but it's good to find out that I was wrong. Seems like a four horse race at this point between two guys with a collective year in Crawford and Inoue and two guys with one great victory in Kovalev and Pacquiao. I don't know who deserves it the most, but Inoue is most intriguing when considering his age, multiple weight class conquest, and the destructive nature of his victories. And this is coming from somebody that made the 7-hour drive from Illinois to Nebraska for Crawford-Beltran.

          I don't expect Inoue to win if he gets to ballot but he'll have some votes and deserves to be there. I hope it gets done. It's been changed to add more before when some meetings had low attendance based on location and some WHACK noms were getting Fight love.

            I watched the naervez fight and I was really impressed. I didn't know he had such a great year. I will watch everytime he fights.

                  Going with Pacquiao, beat Bradley who was coming off of a great win against Marquez. Avenged his defeat against him as well. I don't think much of the Algieri win at all but like I said, it's been a garbage year...Manny it is.

                      Thinking about watching the anime again, can't get into True Detective, it's too slow paced for me.
