    Ward salty that Canelo stepped up two divisions and knocked out Kovalev? Add to that a very good win over Danny Jacobs.

    Thurman is a very good win, Broner is not. Thus Canelo has obviously had a better year.

      Pacman outgunned Thurman, pacman is well well well past his prime. He deserves it.

        I figured they will split the difference. Name Canelo Fighter of the Year, but name Pac-Thurman Fight of the Year.

        Pacman entered 2019 already basically a legend - his fights bolstered that. Canelo is still building his legacy, drawing people in (and signing huge contracts), and 2019 has been be integral in all of that for him.

            You could make a good case for either though I would disqualify Canelo right out of the gate. If you cannot face opponents without imposing handicaps on them, your accomplishments are tainted.

              Both reasonable picks.
              Canelo is growing into something special & Pac has always been a gift from the boxing gods

                ... In fact it was Ward who said (live, just after the Yarde fight) that Kovalev should definitely take the "Canelo money fight" and then retire...

                  Let's not forget that at the end of 2019 there will be a FOY, and also the Fighter of the Decade !!!

                      Sorry, but Kovalev sold his belt... cannot give Canelo much credit there.

                      Pacman, at 40 years old beating up on juniors... THAT is FOTY. (all while being a freaking SENATOR!)
