Anyways
Rigo won't get it due to getting screwed by HBO. He only fought twice this year and should have had at least 4 fights this year. They didn't keep him active just so they would hope people would forgot about the beating he gave Donaire. His fights were 8 months apart.
To me it's very close this year. Much closer than any other year.
Because Bradley, Garcia, mayweather only fought twice, although against worthy opponents.
Kovalev, GGG and Stevenson fought 4 times, although against somewhat lower level opposition.

A while ago I posted HBO would push for GGG behind the scenes to be nominated instead of Stevenson for FOTY.

And you were wrong, both were nominatedOriginally posted by The Big Dunn View PostI said they will be working behind the scenes to have voters choose GGG over Stevenson.
HBO had their top boxing voice put GGG in the top 5 p4p (laughable), acts as if he is the premiere MW in the world (Sergio), wouldn't approve a guy who called him out while simultaneously marketing him as "the most avoided fighter in the world", and had their top boxing voice, on air, tell us as fans that ward/ggg is not a fight thats good right now.
Yes, they are giving him a push, elevating him before he earned it, and are protecting their investment in him. Put them in the ring together.Originally posted by Russian Crushin View PostYou have some delusion that HBO is protecting golovkin, having enough influence to make him FOTY, blah blah blah. Ward is an HBO fighter too who just got 2+ mil to face a guy like Rodriguez and ward has been saying he wants Chavez himself. Stop with the whining already
Not initially he wasn't. That was BS. Cliff put out the additions to the list and STevensen is on it so yes I am ultimately wrong.Last edited by The Big Dunn; 12-09-2013, 01:45 PM.
