Why is Spence on this list? Beating a fat lightweight and a guy who can't win the big one?
Whatever.
I say Canelo. Love him or hate him, beating the respected Jacobs and then going to LHW to beat Kovalev is truly impressive. Danny couldn't hit him and Kovalev couldn't touch him with anything other than a soft jab.
Taylor with wins over Baranchyk and (as an underdog) over Prograis should be 1A.
Inoue had a great year, but had a mighty struggle vs future HOF Donaire.
Roman could be considered as well.
Pac--a good win over Thurman doesn't get him FOY for me, just as Ruiz doesn't get it with his win over AJ.
