Its got to be Floyd or Fury.
Floyd has the only win against a consensus top3 p4p fighter while Fury has the only other win against a consensus top 10 p4p fighter. Fury beating wlad after his 10+ years winning streak was extremely significant. I expect Fury to win the boxing writer's award.
In what will come as no surprise, I voted for Floyd. He proved beyond a shadow of a doubt (in the minds of competent, rational boxing fans) he was the best fighter of his generation.
When you beat a consensus top 3 p4p opponent 8-4,8-4 and 10-2 on the cards, dramatically lowering his punch output and forcing the opponent's promoter and trainer to argue in the press conference about when an alleged injury allegedly occurred, you are the clear FOTY.
