So... Fighter of the Year 2006?

[Leo Pradun]

fight of the year will be tomorrow

Wladimir Klitschko has a good case to be the fighter of the year, won the ibf title and made one succesfull defense...

What's with the "all"? Only ONE person said that Calzaghe should be fighter of the year 2006 - ONE.

You really ought to shut your ****ing mouth with this "homers" ****, little boy, it's getting old, FAST, especially when you're one of the biggest homers on this site. Why don't you try not acting like a **** for a change and have a civil discussion instead?


This thread is actually about FIGHTER OF THE YEAR 2006... as predicted in hidden text in my VERY FIRST POST, you've turned it into yet another "Taylor was robbed last year" threads. Give it a rest.

you really think Hatton beating Tszyu and Maussa > Taylor beating Hopkins twice?

[DiegoFuego]

Freddie Roach, Bert Sugar, KOTV.. to name just a few who had him at #1.

you're full of British ****. there is no way on Earth Bert Sugar has ever had anyone p4p #1 in his life (probably even now) who wasn't named Roy Jones Jr. or Bernard Hopkins so I'm calling your bull**** on that one.

This year: Manny Pacquiao if he wins this weekend.

Last year's Fighter of the Year was Ricky Hatton; recognized by The Ring, and by anyone who is unbiased in a judging regard. Taylor barely beat Hopkins twice.....BARELY; and the arguement can be made that he lost both contests. Personally, I had him squeaking a decision in the first and drawing in the second; but the fact is he didn't dominte Bernard Hopkins. The other top fighter going into the year besides Hopkins, was Kostya Tszyu; at least he was close in ranking being the real Jr. Welterweight Champ.....and Hatton stopped him, as well as the WBA title holder, who had just stopped Vince Phillips.

So, one man dominates the legitimate Jr. Welterweight Champion, who is an ATG and one man squeaks by on two somewhat controversial decisions over the real Middlweight Champion and another ATG.

It's a no-brainer; the nod goes to Hatton.

Tszyu and Hopkins were about equal in terms of where they were in their careers last year. Hatton stopped Tszyu and Maussa, who had just destroyed Phillips.......Taylor, on the other hand, barely got a win either time over Hopkins and several thought B-Hop was robbed twice because of the way Taylor faded down the stretch...to say nothing of the infamous 12th round scoring of their first contest.

Taylor didn't dominate Hopkins or even beat him convincingly in two tries. So, NO....he wasn't as impressive as Hatton last year and didn't deserve FTY honors.

I had Hopkins winning both fights to be honest. Though I was struggling to stay awake.
