    LOL....there have been big robberies where the disputed winner still got FOTY considerations...that's how bitter a taste Ward-Kovalev left...(i see the Ward hype has transfered over to Crawford....who had one decent win but was hugely favored)

      3-0 on the year with 2 unanimous decisions vs. undefeated top-5 rated light heavyweights including one that was #2 P4P.

      That's not one of the 6 best resumes this year?

        Fought three times in 2016, won three fights (two of which were against top 15 light heavyweights), with the last victory being in one of the biggest fights of the year.

          Manny Pacquiao will take FOTY
          What has Pac done to be considered FOTY?

          Personally I have it close between Loma and Crawford.

            Everytime Rafael sees Ward smile getting up from that knockdown his life flashes before him, remembering back when he could've kissed a girl at the age of 19 and his first date at the age of 38 at Burger King. Ward destroys lives

              lol
              Ward snubbed and well deserved.
              Don't care who wins, but at least Ward won't get it.

                Ali: yes, because all I had to do was go out and beat one bum who had no class, no style, no science and swings like a sissy and ugly

                  For Ward not to be nominated is silly.

                  For me though it's Frampton's year.

                      Majority of viewers saw Ward lose, so no, he isn't in the running for FOTY. Frampton for the win.
