BWAA announces Fighter of the Year nominees (Andre Ward snubbed)

[therealpugilist]

Pacquiao beating Bradley and Vargas is probably still better than Crawfords win over Postol. Who cares about him beating Hank Lundy and Molina?

Smith blew up this year, but Frampton deserves this one.

Manny and roach have enough undeserved hardware. Ships sailed...manny mania is dead....he fought bradley already 2x and vargas isnt one of the top welters today

im not comparing their year to wards....im comparing it to all the candidates and who he fought are just decent whereas the other guys were fight 1 or # 2 in their division. High stakes p4p type fights....

Rigo was the man and the only reason either guy "unified" was because they blackballed him

Quigg held the regular belt and interim belts, was awarded the super belt...his best win is over shot kiko martinez

Yes a bit like 2015, Ward had his pick everyone wanted to fight him but instead he "blackballed" them and decided to fight Paul Smith and tried to line up some Australian kid who has never fought anyone good.
Bit like how Ward blackballed GGG by moving up to 175lbs whilst maintaining false statements of I wanted to fight Golovkin, nothing but lies and more lies, Frampton is a liar for not fighting Rigondeaux I agree but you hold a pathetic terrible double standard you're too much of a hypocrite to realize it.

Frampton and it's not even close.

Saying Ward was "snubbed" is hillarious. No other legitimate website has him as one of the top nominations. He fought a ~top10 contender in Barrera, a mismatch of the year in Brand and won a fight most experts thought he lost. That's not a fighter of the year, not by a long shot.

Lomachenko gets it for me,by far the best boxer on the planet,no doubts.

Crawford a close second and Frampton third.

[HughJass]

Joe Smith Jr has to win 'coming out year' of the year lol

[NEETzsche]

I wouldn't give it to Frampton because the Quigg fight was a stinker and there's a good argument that Santa Cruz beat him

Lomachenko and Crawford on the other hand won with style and proved themselves to be head and shoulders above the competition in their divisions

Frampton - Fighter OTY

Whyte-Chisora - Fight OTY

Until he grows a sack and fights Rigo, Frampton will get very little love from me. Guy is a good fighter, but the way him and the rest of the *****es did Rigo is pathetic. And the fact that so many fans seem to think its ok is even worse imo.

dude can you comprehend what you read....the WBA BLACKBALLED RIGO......that Quigg/frampton fight was the weakest unifcation ever lol....Quigg never fought for the belt and was elevated. Just like GGG
