Fighter of the year? (aside from Floyd)

[King_]

Who is the fighter of the year this year?


I want to put Tyson Fury in the discussion because technically he DID "beat" the HW king Wlad but I think that Wlad beat himself, so I don't hold his "win" in high regard.

I'd say GGG fought the largest amount of high-level competition, he fought two guys in the top 10 and destroyed them with ease, anybody else I can think of has fought only top 10 guy and won, if that.

1. Floyd
2. Tyson Fury
3. Badou Jack

Has to be Fury. Dude beat Wlad Klitschko relatively easily.

I'm still going with Postol.

Badu Jack had a great year. I guess you could give it to Floyd or Fury because they both beat ATG's but Jack had a break out year against solid competition.

I hate reading this opinion from that fight. He didn't do anything because Fury wouldn't let him!! I feel like people who say this didn't watch the fight, or don't know what they saw.

This isn't like Clottey/Pac where Clottey was content with not letting his hands go, Fury controlled the fight with feints and movement, and a great jab. Wlad did try to go to work, but he was flat out not allowed to, he would be forced to constantly reset and miss his setup shots.

It was a masterclass.

Anyone saying otherwise needs to be
