Official: NSB 2018 Fighter of the Year

[sicko]

It is Uysk!

He ran away with it IMO and destroying Bellew was just the Cherry On Top...


Runner Ups...

Mikey Garcia- Won a Belt at 140 vs Lipinets and unified at 135 vs Robert Easter

Canelo Alvarez- ARGUABLY beat GGG then moved up to 168 and destroyed Fielding to win a belt at 168

Deontay Wilder- Yeah not a fan of his style BUT Ortiz and Fury in 1 year? NOBODY challenged themselves more than Wilder this year like him or not

Maurice Hooker- Walked into guys back yards both Terry Flanagan and Alex Saucedo and won

Nobody gives a sh#t about smaller weight classes sadly but:
Naoya Inoue- Destroyed Jamie McDonnell and Juan Carlos Payano

[bigjavi973]

Usyk, top2 P4P. Cleaned out and dominated his division, beat a HW contender. Unified titles. Nobody else comes close.

when did that happen and who?

[Citizen Koba]

Usyk


then in no particular order:

Mikey
Hooker
Warrington
Loma
Shiro (if he wins)
Bud

[amuroray]

Its a toss up between usyk and Warrington.

And i feel Usyk nicks it.

[Pigeons]

what exactly is your issue with my ranking?

You think Mo Hooker's year was equal to Usyk's?

[that g]

should be between fury and usyk.

fury dropped near 150lbs and proceeded to school the WBC heavyweight beltholder in his first serious match after recovering from mental, drug, and weight issues.

[The Big Dunn]

You think Mo Hooker's year was equal to Usyk's?

I think winning 2 fights on the road as an underdog like hooker did is worthy of foty along with usyk winning 3 on the road all of which he was favored.

Why aren’t you asking anyone else that didn’t have usyk as foty?

[GhostofDempsey]

Usyk for unifying against some strong and risky opponents and becoming undisputed champ at CW.

Loma for winning a title in a third weight class while defeating a true LW in Linares, a guy who Mikey avoided. Coming off surgery he handled a very game Pedraza who was at his very best. Unified titles.

GGG for KO'ing Vanes, a guy who Jermell went life and death with, and then for his "win" versus Canelo which was a clear robbery.

Honorable Mentions:

Navarette - fought and won four times this year, took Dogboe's title as a huge underdog.

Gvozdyk - showed everyone who the boss is at 175 with devastating title win over Stevenson.

[Tony Trick-Pony]

Oleksandr Usyk- Unified the cruiserweight title. Beat two current unbeaten champions in their own backyards. Then he knocked out a former champion in his own backyard. Won the Muhammad Ali trophy.

[HeadBodyBodyBody]

Usyk or Fury for me...

- Usyk for becoming undisputed, we need to see more of this

- Fury for bringing a bit of grit back to the heavyweight scene, again
