Who seems to be a strong contender for Fighter of the Year?
Almost half the year has gone by who do you think will be fighter of the year with the fights that have already taken place and the fights that are going to happen.
Manny Pacquio - He already did what was seemed the impossible, knocked out Erik Morales. he has a bout with Larious and maybe a rematch with either Morales or Barrera by the end of the year
Joe Calzaghe - people thought he was a fraud, a protected fighter who was aging and going to be a stepping stone for America's newest superstar, Jeff Lacy. Joe not only humiliated Lacy but displayed one of the best boxing performances ever by any fighter. Has a fight scheduled in June and is looking at Tarver as a future opponent by the end of the year.
Jermain Taylor - has a disputed win over the middleweight legend Bernard Hopkins and has Winky Wright as his next opponent.
Oscar De La Hoya - is most likely at the very end of the list of candidates, looked impressive after a 20 month layoff and most likely has to fight Mayweather to be a contender for this title.
"Very few people really understand what it means to be a fighter. I hate it when I hear someone say, 'That fighter doesn't have guts. I hate that, I don't care if you're a world champion six times over or a four-round fighter, to step inside that ring, you have to have guts" Oscar De La Hoya
