Fury was a 5-1 outsider against a man many considered top 3 p4p and who had barely lost a round in 12 years, and comfortably defeated him.
The rest of your post is irrelevant, this is for fighter of the year.
And while on paper Furys win looked impressive it wasn't. He didn't take the title from Wladimir, Wladimir gave it away.
And I am discussing this year. Mayweather deserves it.

Remember Pacquiao was ranked number 3 p4p on everybody's list before that fight, was fighter of the decade, the second biggest attraction in boxing, and was only a 2-1 underdog.
Floyd has the bigger win no question about it.

It's not even close.

And let's not forget Holly Holm. Yeah, she's an MMA fighter now, but she also shocked the world and did the Noble Art proud by boxing the sox off Ronda.
Holly deserves a mention here, and a pat on the bum from Tyson while making him a cup of tea.

Originally posted by -Weltschmerz- View PostGGG for me. Fury obviously has win of the year, but take into consideration he was winning over an ageing past-prime champ, and that the fight itself was poor in quality. Golovkin had another magnificent year, allround.
AND he's a quality character, inside and outside the ring.
