The real list: http://r i n g t v.craveonline.com/news/182653-past-winners-of-the-ring-year-end-awards
Golovkin won the fans Ring FOTY 2013 poll, that was all, Donaire won the fans poll for Ring FOTY in 2012.
As I see it, Ring and BWAA have both been virtually identical in their choices in the past decade or so. I expect Terence Crawford to win both of this year's awards but he may not.
Which holds more merit? Probably the BWAA, but it's good to have two in case you agree with the other one lol.
Personally, I agreed with Ring's pick of Stevenson last year, but with the BWAA's pick of Donaire in 2012.
