Pacquiao should be FOTY 2014

[Cinci Champ]

Bradley is an elite fighter man. He beat Marquez.

He is widely regarded as the third best fighter in the best division in boxing

im not saying hes not an elite fighter im a bradley fan im saying he wouldnt of been in the p4p talks without that gift pac decision u cant deny that

... I didn't take the Bradley II match seriously... I felt like it was a "give it back" fight...

It was but next to Mayweather and Pacquiao its clearly Bradley in third place atm in the WW division, so Pac beat one of the best WW's in one of the most competitive divisions compared to Terence Crawford beating...
Nobody special type of opponents, the same people rooting for Crawford for FOTY atm are the same people back in early 2014 calling Burns a bum but now they're hyping him

Dafuq...

How can you call Bradley prime elite, and Donaire not the same when they were LITERALLY at the exact same stage in their careers? Only difference is Bradley was given a gift vs Pacquiao. That's it. Other than that, they both came off a loss to a top fighter, had a war, and won a belt. Same age. Same stage. Only Donaire is the greater fighter.

That's a good point.

Rigondeaux beat up Donaire, then Donaire had a very tough fight with Darchinyan.

Bradley lost to Pacquaio then had a war with Ruslan.

Bradley did beat Marqeuz though, although I felt that could have gone either way.

The point I was making he was p4p number 3 after beating Marquez....

Nevertheless, he is a top 10 p4p fighter. He is ranked number 5 by ring as of now and that's after losing to pacquaio...

This is an excellent argument. No problem if the BWAA selects Pac or Kovo.

I still see it TC, Pac and Kovo -- in that order.

Looool. Good joke.

If any other ww had only 2 wins this year and they were over Tim and ALgieiri they wouldn't be in the running for FOTY.

actually they will be. unfortunately those guys fell short when they were up against tim and chris so we'll never get to see it.

I think the better question is how doesn't it matter? Nobody beat a better opponent this year than manny did. Kovalev did well .. Crawford did well ... but not as well as that.

Who you got having a better year than him btw?

It likely doesn't matter because most people thought Manny won the first fight rather easily and he got a terrible decision that most likely had Bob Arum's DNA all over it. He won the rematch even easier.

No they wouldn't. It is disgraceful that Manny fans want a FOTY award for a WW champion who beat 2 fighters who (at the time of the fights) had exactly 3 wins at ww-1 against Casamayor, 1 against abregu and 1 against Manny in a robbery that you and every other many fan felt was staged by Arum just to generate a rematch.

how would u know that dunn?? u dont!! why? because those guys couldnt beat tim and chris! tim and chris were both undefeated fighters when pac took that "0" away, and let me add this was all after that brutal "is pac still sleeping" ko that the floyd fans loves to make jokes about LOL!
