    He won a split decision in an atrocious fight vs. Quigg, ducked Rigondeaux, and won a majority decision in an entertaining fight vs. Santa Cruz.

        From part-time boxer/construction worker to top name in the division, his 2016 run has been spectacular. But is it a Fighter OTY run?
        He has done enough to be named fighter of the year and earn some big purses from this point forward. However, what will happen is that he will become the most avoided fighter of 2018 as Andre Ward, Adonis Stevenson, and Kovalev all take steps to avoid a fight with him.

                        Come On Seriously! Break Out Fighter Of The Year would be fitting though!

                            I like Smith, but I don't think so. The Fonfara fight was a spectacular win, but come on. Hopkins hadn't fought in over 2 years until tonight

                                Not a chance

                                It should go to Frampton he took 2 top dogs 0s in big fights

                                I wouldn't be mad at Pac or Ward either but Frampton should get it

                                Agree with Sicko Smith should get breakout fighter of the year

                                    He's had a pretty fucking good year, but I don't think it's enough unfortunately.
