If Ward beats Barrera and Kovalev is he a lock for fighter of the year?

[FloydTBE]

Yes, no doubt about it

[MrRolltide91]

Of course


He should be #1 p4p

[Nubia]

No doubt about it.

He'd be a strong contender, but there are plenty of fights to be made yet.

Off the top of my head these guys could all be in contention if the fights get made-

Klitchscko beats Fury + Wilder (any combo of these 3, really)
Thurman/Porter winner beats Danny Garcia
Crawford beats Postol + Pac/Bradley winner
Canelo beats Kahn and GGG
Frampton beats LSC + Rigo
Loma beating Walters and Rigo

Now, half these fights won't get made, and some dudes won't win all of them.

But, let's see what happens.

Ward could have a heck of a year, no doubt.

[RussB23]

If he does that pretty hard to give it to anyone else.
