    Who decides who gets FOTD award?

    I'm just a casual fan, but I am curious to how this award is made.

    1) Is there a panel of boxing experts or do fans decide?
    2) When this decade is over, does it take a few months after for them to decide?
    3) Besides getting a win from certain fighers, is there other criteria that is also considered to get the FOTD award (such as boxing related achivements)?

    It's literally just a popularity contest from the boxing writers association of America. The criteria is literally nothing more than wherever the goalposts ended up after being moved countless times to suit the agenda of the writers. If they want to discredit a certain fighter they keep moving the goalposts whenever that fighter accomplishes what they asked of him. When they want to favor another fighter they contradict everything established when they last moved the goalposts in order to justify their bias.

      Preach !! No one could explain it any better than you just did. This is what boxing has become with writers most of whom don’t know a left hook from a fish hook and just frame the narrative for whatever promotion is willing to pay them under the table and blind fans follow whatever the writers say.
