Top 10 Candidates for FOTY

[#1Assassin]

three man race between Crawford, Gonzalez and Walters. Pacquiao deserves to be mentioned too but i don't think he should win.

[M Bison]

1. Manny Pacquiao
2. Canelo Alvarez
3. Nicholas Walters
4. GGG
5. Sergey Kovalev
6. Terence Crawford
7. Roman Gonzalez
8. Wladimir Klitschko
9. Kell Brook
10. Jessie Vargas

[M Bison]

1. Crawford - 3 wins against 3 good opponents
2. Walters..sick knockouts of Vic and Nonaire
3. Kovalev...Huge power and showing that he is a very good boxer and a vastly underrated athlete
4. Pacquaio...Looked good against Algieri and won 8 or 9 rounds against Bradley, which I'm not sure anyone else can do.
5. Golovkin - Say what you want about his opposition but nobody else in the world is knocking out Geale in 3 and Rubio in 2...Adama had also never been stopped in his career and GGG stopped him, knocked him down multiple times even with a jab.


Cotto only fought once which disqualifies him.
Roman Gonzalez should probably be on the list but I actually only saw one of his fights.
Mayweather had 2 wins, but just didn't look as good as he did in 2013.

1 win against 1 good opponent.

Crawford or Pacquiao

tony bellew

if not bellew then pacquaio for being the only guy who beat PRIME ELITE fighter

and i would have herrera in there instead of canelo

bellew? lol what?

Its a two man race between Pacquiao or Kovalev

yeah i can see that, i think pac has a win over the most highest rated opponent, apart from possibly walters over donaire but it depends on opinions on those two.

I think it's Crawford or Walters.

Pacquiao and Kovalev both had really good individual wins, but those wins weren't good enough IMO. Both Crawford and Walters went from potential to champs with multiple impressive wins this year.

And there's definitely no way Cotto or Golovkin had better years than Gonzalez.

cotto beat the best guy in his division, obviously post fight we found out he was in terrible condition but still it carries some weight. obviously another fight at some stage would have helped.

like i already said, pac beat the best guy of anyone on that list. but walters and crawford arent a bad shout.

The way Roman Gonzalez is getting overrated on here is unbelievable. Well, for what he's done in 2014.

Roman Gonzalez's 2014:

Juan Kantun TKO6 - Bum
Juan Purisima TKO3 - Bum
Akira Yaegashi TKO9 - Great Win
Rocky Fuentes TKO6 - Fringe Contender

And other than Yaegashi, all of Gonzalez's opponents were coming off of losses.

Meanwhile Juan Francisco Estrada has done virtually the same thing, yet I haven't seen his name mentioned once.

Juan Francisco Estrada's 2014:

Richie Mepranum TKO10 - Fringe Contender
Giovani Segura TKO11 - Great Win
Joebert Alvarez on Saturday - Undefeated Bum

You have missed one of the strongest contenders: Amnat Ruenroeng

Good post

Winner of the fight between the 2 next year can get FOTY or winner of you know who

This year PAC is the ONLY guy to beat a PRIME ELITE opponent.
