Don't know if someone responded to you yet... But just incase...
PBF can't win THIS award cause these are the "Premios Fox Sports" which are handed out ONLY to athletes of Latin America...
hahaha ;D
Wish people would READ the articles properly.

What makes fighters like Hopkins great is that he never fought for the fans he didn't care if they booed or cheered him what he cared was that his arm was raised by the end of the fight, same for Mayweather. And you can knock his "lack of greatness for not wanting to finish an opponent off" but isnt it up to the opponent to press him effectively and put him in a situation where he HAS to? And if they haven't then thats how GREAT Mayweather is imo. Mayweather does what he has to do, and the fact that no one has forced him to really have to dig deep yet shows how great a fighter he is no matter how he fights. I agree and think Mayweather should have won boxer of the year.
Spot on and CC
Though Hopkins-Trinidad combined the same with the satisfying finish. I suppose Hopkins didn't really have to KO Tito.

3 weeks ago you were screaming about margarito, then he got exposed...........
now youve jumped from one bandwagon to another.
ive liked cotto since he was on shobox....waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the day, but let me tell you this......quintana is far from mayweather.
if you want to see how pbf would do against cotto, watch the cotto/malignaggi fight and amplify all of malignaggis strengths by 20 and cut his weakness's into 1/3's.......
honestly, bro................. hows that fight turn out if it were to happen??
but at least we agree on zab "super" judah ;)
I think you confuse me with someone else about Margarito. I don't think he can beat Floyd cause he's too slow...period. I still think Floyd was ducking him. I mean why would he not take 8 mil to fight a guy he says he can beat easily. That is all I said about Margarito. Now Cotto is a real threat with a real shot at beating Floyd. Just like Zab had a real chance of beating Floyd before he gassed. You gotta admit that it would be a great fight between him and Cotto and I don't want no excuses and no priceouts. I respect Floyds fight game but I don't respect his lame talk. He's always contradicting himself. We definitely agree on Zab as far as his credibility go. He's one of the most unappreciated talents in boxing and that's probably his own fault in some ways. A dedicated Zab is a problem for anyone. Everyone forgot about the first round with Tzyu and how he rocked him and dominated him. That's the haters though. Peace.
Re: Cotto wins boxer of the year
IMO Pac deserved it more but it is no big upset that Cotto got it...Now lets just hope he keeps it up ;)
