Comments Thread For: Juan Manuel Marquez Hands Out His Boxing Awards For 2016

[BrometheusBob.]

Diego de la Hoya as Prospect of the Year?

Out of curiosity, who would you pick for prospect of 2016?

[Shadoww702]

Marquez is Mexican orientated. A good list if you cut off the rest of world.

Lomachenko is Mexican??? That's the 1st iv'e ever heard that???

And the "Rest of the World"??? Again are you talking about this world or "Another" World???

Is Ukrainian Southern Mexico or Eastern Mexico??? I get those confused all the time... Sht MY BAD IT's Northern Mexcio just 50 miles outside of UDONTKNOWSHT.

Canelo's KO of Khan was better than Loma's

it should be KO of the year, because of the high profile of the match and the sheer brutality of it

but ofc, the rabidly jealous Marquez would never admit that, the petty man will never give Canelo credit about anything

he's right on Loma as FOTY and some other things, though

Canelo knocked out a guy who was about two weight divisions lower and has the worst chin in the sport. A guy who was KO`d at 140 punds. Everyone knew he would KO him but besides from that Canelo got schooled for 4 rounds by Khan. Any living body has a chance to KO Khan. That´s why that´s not the KO of the year. Same goes with GGG and Brook´s broken face.

Loma beat a tough fighter and KO´d him with incredible technique and power and then went on to make Walters say "no mas".

Lomachenko has everything it takes to become an all time great. I hope he does.

True. Pretty biased list imo. He's definitely skipped right over America where an American could have easily been the winner of a few of his awards...

David Benavidez, Gervonta Davis, and JoJo Diaz are a few names that come to mind.

Nothing against Diego de la Hoya. It's just that his name didn't seem to cross my radar that much this year for whatever reason.

JMM got the Fighter of the Year spot on.
Frampton the ducker shouldn't be rewarded.

Lomachenko = 2016 Fighter of the Year.

The one name on his list that isn't Mexican, or did you miss that? That makes his list 99.9% Mexican.

Juan Manuel can have his list, but I get the impression that he pays more attention to his own. Where is the heavyweight award, anything over 135? He's ignoring half of divisions along with some interesting Japanese and Philipinos.
