Canelo - ESPN Fighter of the year 2015

[icha]

Canelo had a very good year.

Mayweather was the fighter of the year though.

totally agree with you...

Im fine with Canelo winning...There was no great choice this year.

Mayweather beat Pacquaio and it was his award to lose and then he went out of his way to fight Andre Berto, the worst possible 147 opponent he could've fought when there was several strong 147 options that he didn't even consider. That was very weak.

Golovkin is not a bad choice, depending on how you highly you rate Monroe. Lemieux and Murray were excellent wins and performances. Monroe, in my opinion is a top 10 middleweight that would outbox guys like Quillin. I understand that many disagree and think Monroe is trash. I understand.

Fury has a win just as good as Mayweather but I don't even remember the other guy he fought this year.

I've seen people mention DeGale...whatever. He barely beat Dirrell...a fighter that is great at finding ways to lose.

Espn proving once again they dksab

If Marquez didn't get fighter of the year for KOing pacquiao, mayweather wasn't going to get it for UDing pac


Meh canelos ok I guess

Nobody really got a great win this year

Marquez was getting ****ed up before scoring the KO, Mayweather made it look easy.

espn really showing their distaste for Mayweather'

If any other fighter beat the other biggest star of the era they would've been fighter of the year


I hope Canelo doesn't get any of that Rousey curse.....getting a reward he didn't deserve and then get murked the next fight


Canelo had a good year but beating Manny and Berto > Kirkland and Cotto


Floyd deserves it....he beat Cotto and Canelo in the past and beat a top 5 p4p guy in Pac


ESPN have been ready for his departure from the sport for some time

I remember when the fighter of the year, really was the best fighter that year or had the biggest win......accolades use to mean something, the past decade in boxing they really don't.....Freddie Roach with all those undeserved trainer of the year awards and Canelo beat Cotto who Mayweather beat years ago.

Canelo deserves it more than Mayweather and Fury

The PED cheater should have lost the may 2nd fight, and failed to impress against an injured, washed up Pacquiao, then fought a bum and rode into the sunset

Fury beat an absent minded Wladimir, but the fight was so terrible, so ****ing ****ty that both fighters deserved to lose. nothing glorious on that performance, just a tired old champion giving up his belt to a younger guy

Canelo on the other hand, beat the rejuvenated version of HOF'er Cotto and the hardest puncher in the division and gave us a KOTY candidate.

Canelo deserves it, although nobody had a truly great win this year

I don't even know where to begin with this post.

Canelo gets underrated sometimes but he's not FOTY

Floyd beat Manny in a fight that did 4.6 mil PPV's. Fury beat Wlad, who hadn't lost in over 11 years. Those are 2 EPIC wins, even if the fights were not as entertaining as we hoped.

It's an out right travesty that Dan gave Canelo the award (and had GGG 2nd) over either of them.

It's a shame that a fat biased **** that knows **** all about boxing is such a prominent voice for the sport.
